I find it amusing when people see players like this and say "Why dont you play guitar?"...Because we play BASS!!! Believe it or not, instruments do not play themselves or dictate how they should be played...Tapping can be done on bass as well as guitar and there's too much of it on guitar anyway.
Great stuff. It's a bit harder to hear the lowest string, but I like that you did it without an amp. Id seriously be interested in seeing you play some more of the song. Really, because if theres one instrument that goes unnoticed its bass, and there is alot to 'metal' (whatever) bass.
@EnergizerBunny804 I will be doing a video soon about this bass solo explaning it step by step :) i dont have videos cuz i am too busy but soon i will :)
it's definitely harder on a six string, mostly because you have to keep your fingers arched above the top string to hit the notes cleanly. Also, there is a bigger stretch down to the lower strings.
well for one thing most people are glorifying the guitar too much .......with out bass in my point of view most songs would sound flat .....so kudos skelbassist nice cover
You know, it's played on 4 strings in the original version. Stefan Fimmers uses a 6 string, but in this part he doesn't use tha highest and lowest ones.
Damn,it's really nice,i'm learning this part and hope to put the video on youtube in a couple of days,check my covers!
Nice playing.
Cheers

out of curiousity, why bass? You do some impressive stuff that could probably utilize the skill better on guitar. but a chunky bass is always good.

@bbeaup Various reasons. Biggest thing is that the pick and me have never gotten along and that I just love the sound/feel of the bass.

you're a god to be able to do that on a four string
masterbassist93 3 years ago
looks like a 5 string
koml3uch4 3 years ago
Its Easier on a 4 string (even though its a 5 string) because the 6th string doesn't get in the way
EnergizerBunny804 3 years ago
i wouldn't think so, hitting certain notes wouldn't be as much trouble to me if there were more strings
