No offense but isn't 12 strings just overkill? I mean Geddy Lee gets more sound out of 4 strings than you do with three times as many. It's just a novelty and not really music.
A 12 string bass not only produces bass sounds, but to an extent, a rhythym guitar. And regardless as to what Geddy Lee can do with a bass, his voice still sounds like a hyena with its nuts caught in a vice. And he looks like Alice the Goon from the old Popeye cartoons.
Could be one of the most ridiculous statements ever posted on Youtube. Geddy Lee and anything relating to Cheap Trick should never be in the same sentence.
Wow this is incredible. But I always thought for guitar the chorus Kept the B Chord (Or C After Key Change) and just changed bass notes so it would be like B----G#m7----F#6sus4----E5/E6. OR maybe I'm wrong =|| Anywho this is excellent .||
would u recommend a 12-string for someone who is lookin to start a band because i don't intend on buying a TP model because the ozone is cheaper and i dont have 1000 bucks and what is the cheapest bass waterstone sells
u guys sound incredile nice harmonies i saw when you met cheap trick onur website and he is on tour with the bassists tp-32" but how come he can just get a 32"
Thanks. Unfortunately the audio was recorded using just the same "Live" sound board mix so there was no way to "Doctor" and repair the vocals. So what you here on the video is what you here when we play live. I recommend 2 or 3 beers then turn it up loud. And yes, Zanders vocals are off the chart.
he got the right bass for the right cover, the other versions cant get it right withou the right bass great cover

Actually the singing is OK I like it... They made it their own and you have to remember this live and they kick some ass for a live band..

1. I'm not Geddy Lee.
2. I play those "training basses" sometimes.
3. What's wrong with a little novelty?

@vinorama58 My point exactly, that anything more than 4 strings is totally unnecessary

excellent cover, the only thing i noticed was how nasally your voice got when you said "away". Really its an incredible cover!

Musically, quite well done. Very well done. Vocals were a bit off but we are human, aren't we. Plus, Zanders vocals are off the chart baby.
I give this an A- (excellent)
