78 Fender Jazz Run For Cover (My fun version)

[bassworship50]

Hollywood526, man, what's you problem? Tight work, maybe too tight! Clean licks always pay the bills. The jazz bass sounds incredible. I've just recieved my Ad. pre-amp. had to git it. Putting it into my "Squire Active Five". Think i'm going to change the pickups to Bartolini's. Will post a video when the work is complete. Having the work done @ G-spot basses here in Hollywood, Fl. See you soon...God Bless! JUS2DAY

[rickenbacker95]

that preamp you put in that bass sounds sick. I have a fender american standard jazz (passive). Would i be able to install this preamp into my bass even though mines passive?

[HomeBuyersofOhio]

Dude!!!! You are killing it. I must have watched this video 3o times already

[Froekfroek]

What are the mods ? I have a '78 Fender just like the one you have and I like to use your mods.

[Rasmarker]

Its the best cover version of Marcus Miller vintage number "Run for Cover". "hollywood526": - You really make this Thriller Miller sound on your "own special way", you've got talent, funky brother.

[kinshasaAPP]

Awesome Trace Elliot amplifier!

[bassface84]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[orlandoCF1]

Killer tone man. I cant say that the Fender sounds better than your KSD, it just sounds different. Both basses is tone city. I believe Marcus himself would love to check both of your vids out. Peace.....

[element85]

I love that tone bro!

[bobbyquitzon]

Yes A Lefty!!! Very nice version!

[ElkanerRIFa]

hey Brother!! some question. I have one mexican fender 4 strings and I want to change the preamp, but I have no idea wish one to choose. what about audere they are good? with this preamp its going to sound better?

[hollywood526]

@ElkanerRIFa I posted my respose on your youtube page, it was too long to post here.

[jfingaz123]

Damn that bass sounds great. The sound is just huge. That's the way to groove too.

[RTBM]

Hey cool tone! it growls big man, i think it's also the blockinlay that makes the sound i heard it from a cool dutch bassplayer. keep up the good work

[Jahman520]

Oh my gosh! Put your Ken Smith on Ebay! The tone you're getting from the Fender/Audere combo is straight Marcus. Well played sir.

[Rasmarker]

Maybe Marcus Miller listen to some tricks from your. Nice

[Kingofyerass666]

You are badasss

[landart67]

Great Job Man! This Album (Yes Vinal !)was my first intro to MaRcus.

[JazzBass7]

Dude, I promise one of my favorite parts is from 1:53-1:55. Well, to be honest, I'd have to quote this whole song but I'm kind of tired at the moment but just the way that sounds. Like I can literally feel my own strings from my bass playing those notes. I mean just those 9 notes from 1:53 to 1:55, like RIGHT before it goes to the chorus. Bah-doum chee-dip bowm-dooooo booom boom boom!!!! I cannot get that out of my head for nothing. Keep it up Hollywood. You're a great inspiration dude!!!

[chewyflea]

thats that classic funk at 1:45 Sick dude

[mynaisdj]

ARE YOU USING AN EFFECT ON THE BASS , OR IS THAT THE WAY IT SOUNDS? IT SOUNDS GREAT

[ApostleCreed10]

he looks like one of the Wayans brothers,,the best cover ive heard so far.

[RegAgainstTheMachine]

Totally digging the cut and attack of your sound mang! Makes me want to slap one in my jag just for the rush : D

[schmirgo]

Best cover i have ever heard of this song. You are playing very clean, really professional.

[hardyjohaas]

no matter what people say:

awesome playing and the fender sounds bad ass...

keep on bro

[learn4stringbass]

Unbelievable sound!! You're killin' it man!! Great playing!!

[taufoofar]

Very original, but still "Run for Cover". That's good...

[bigyouth72]

Very very niçe sound &plays

[MrPan222]

Hi i gotta a question.When you put this preamp into your bass were you forced to chiesel out a slot for a battery?

Thanks

[JWoods1980]

Monster!!!

[chewyflea]

Unstoppable Groove!

[blessedcorey]

this is a awsome video

[Threads2010]

Oi, he's right, I play a 78, it's passive and has a very low output (not the best year for Fender), but has amazing tone. Marcus Miller custom 5 string has two 9 volt batteries and a HOT signal. You need a good preamp to get that kind of punch out of that bass.

[pbarnett221]

Yo bro...this song/version sounds HOT!!! I love your playing man!!! I agree...play with PASSION!!!!! I would love to get that sound track...to practice it like how you are playing it man!!!! Both basses sound hot...the fender and the smith...!!!

[FUNKYWHITEB0Y]

I've got the British vertion of ur pre-amp (john East j-retro) in my US Jazz Bass its pretty much the same, so what eq did u set ur pre-amp to make it sound so amazing?!??!?!?

[gobassgo1]

your sound is 100000 x more pleasant .

it gives credit to Audere, not their dirty sound clips on their web page.

+ your skill is 5 stars

[chrysbadz]

i love the tone man! keep it up!

[alembicbassguy]

Great playing...real tight!

After hearing this I'm going to add the audere jz3 to my Lakland Darryl Jones bass.

[chickenandababy]

your sound is amazing

[rtdmn92]

like the embellishments.

I just can't get that nice marcus tremolo like at 2:46. Ive tried hitting the 13th fret quickly. is there a trick to it?

[RegAgainstTheMachine]

Mang mint job on that amazing tone and everything, But I got a question : ) would you be able to tell me where you got your backing track Thanks : ) keep up the playing also another question, How long have you been playing for? Merry Christmas

[cottenbass]

I just finished installing the Audere pre-amp and I couldn't be happier with the sound. Thanks for the post. I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.

[vzsozs]

whathever it was that made this jazz bass sound like this, but it completely ruined the authentic fender jazz bass sound.

[lilreese1]

No it did'nt

[hollywood526]

Sorry you did not like the modifications, I did the mods to suit my taste, however, thanks for your personal opinion. Always play with passion!

[taufoofar]

@vzsozs Not everyone wants the authentic Fender Jazz sound. So, modify it a bit to their personal taste.

[cottenbass]

Used to have a Trace amp,,are you using the pre cut boost or other eq?

[cottenbass]

Been playing Ken Smiths for the last 20 years, but you've got me hooked on the Jazz Bass sound. I'm gong to order the Audere electronics and drop them in my Squire Jazz..hope it sounds half as good as yours.

[CptChaos88]

dude that's great.

you look like a mix between louis johnson and larry grahm.

funky!!!

[namuxtree]

Hey David, I was just wondering...since your bass was made passive and it doesn't have the battery compartment you would find on basses built active do you find it a serious inconvenience to screw out the preamp section every time you change your batteries? Great stuff btw! You got me diggin the jazz bass sound :D

[BenGendron]

what your bass amp sond very goog

[BenGendron]

what your amp bass i like sond

[H4RnIcu7zu]

isent this marcus miller ?

[Takaezu]

Awesome

[DUBXXX]

hey man, firstly awesome playing, groove master. quick question u may have answered this 100 times, but what brand and gauge strings do u use?

[hollywood526]

When I did the video I had a mixed set of strings, popped a G string and replaced it and the same thing with the A string, and they were old at the video time. A lot of the tone is coming from the bass, Audere preamp and Trace Elliot EQ. Strings are also very important. Currently I use SR 2000 med light on several of my basses.

[JazzBluesFunk]

Shit, you're awesome: great groove and sound

just go on

I like your vids they're just great

Is it a Fender Bass?

Can you tell me where did you buy it or tell me an internet page where I can get basses beetween 74-78 Fender?

Thank you

and greets from Bavaria, Germany

[courageux28]

great sound and technique. What age did you start playing?

[hollywood526]

I started playing somewhere around 14 yrs. old. I had a period that I stopped playind for a few years due to a serious case carpal tunnel. I'm back at it with very limited incidents of carpal.

[oluap84]

Hey mate... great playing! Where can I get the recorded version of this song? I always play it but only from the live videos on youtube... Ive been looking for it for such a long time... thanks a lot and keep playing!!

[hollywood526]

It's a David Sanborn song, can't remember the CD title..........

[schmirgo]

@hollywood526

it's from David Sanborn's album Straight To the Heart from 1984

[Blackcherrytwo]

i still wanna marry you (mauh)

[grossb78]

This vid is hott! I know that I commented on this months ago, but I'm looking at it again! OOOOOweeeeeee!

[noles33]

dude, your awesome. keep it up! we need more bass players like you! marcus miller 4 life!!!!!

[llamasrage]

How do you get it to sound so... bubbly?

[hollywood526]

The bubbly tone is created from the Audere Audio Internal Bass Preamp and a little compression from the Trace Elliot Bass Head... That's it!!!

[pastyourhorizon]

omg. your bass. is just wow. and your playing too!

[iluvincitingviolence]

The tone on this bass is sick, man...good job!!

[jazzbassdee23]

yo imma send u a video... btw, this bass sounds waaaaay better than that ksd

[hollywood526]

I totally agree!

[Funkyskunk01]

@hollywood526 hey there are you left handed?

[sorenrules]

Nice playing.

[jesper78]

That´s badass bass right there.. ;-)

[Danathaniel3]

Great version... Grooving like Marcus ! Where did you find the playback ?

[inuyashaspet]

I'd also love to know how you got the playback. Have looked everywhere for the midi, but can't find one!

[bajistaimo]

great sound, technique and the most important GROOVE!

keep on!

[oliparkengooglmail]

Great version. Thats a really great sound you get out the Fender Jazz. Was it originally a passive bass? Keep up the slapping!

[hollywood526]

Yes, the bass was originally passive. Sounded great passive, now it has what I call "Zing"!

[tbjbunkfho]

ts an awesome song^^

very good cover!!!!

looks like youre having fun playing it:P

bass on!

[courageux28]

Miles Davis said he could tell a lot about a cat how he holds his axe. Well I'm not that good but you're beating the hell out of that bass. Awesome!

[studiologos]

So, you did the JZ3 mod? Are they the same original pickups. I want to the same preamp upgrade to my 2008 USA Jazz Bass, but would it sound the same as yours? how about if I also install the "Custom Shop 1960 pickups", would it make any difference adding the pickups upgrade?

[hollywood526]

I did the mods, also changed the pickups to Fender Cobalt Noiseless. No change in tone, only quieter. Probably won't sound like my bass, that is due to the wood character being the major factor in determining the overall tone delivered by the instrument. That is not to say that pickups or preamps will not enhance the sound of the instrument, they absolutely help. Some people like passive tones opposed to active. These are my thoughts and someone else may have different view. I say go for it!!!

[namuxtree]

is it an alder or ash body?

[hollywood526]

It's a solid ash body.

[micht61]

quel siwg a++

[WitteBandera]

Aaaaah~! You're awesome~!

[BASSMANJ5]

when are you doing another video

[hollywood526]

Hey Richie, I will do something soon, just been really busy and I want the next video to have audio directly from my mixing console. Still waiting for a vid from you with some audio...Stay tuned

[hollywood526]

The sound in the video is being picked up directly from my Canon camcorder. The sound coming from my bass is produced through my Trace Elliot GP 12 SMX bass amp. I tweaked the EQ, and used a mild compression setting on the Trace Elliot head. That's ! I can get that sound fairly easily through any resonable sounding amp, thanks to the Audere Audio JZ3 preamp. I hope this response helps. AQlways Play with Passion!!!

[pablokorn10]

Audere should show this video as a comercial for the JZ3!!! Amazing sound man. I want to know if there is any pedal, EQ, or mastering that colours the final sound of your '78 Jazz Bass in the video. Do you think the Mics that you have., makes big part of the work? Sorry about my english, I'm workin' on! I will thank u a quick review.

[jwuonog]

Which preamp config is this? Awesome tone!!

[hollywood526]

Hey Jwuonog, the preamp is an Audere Audere JZ3 configuration. Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. I hope this information helps! Play with Passion!!!

[jwuonog]

nice. I just got a JZ3 with Vol/Vol/Treble-Bass stack. It sounds pretty good. They went in a cheap SX bass. I can almost cop the same sounds as my Marcus bass. What kinda pickups are you using?

[hollywood526]

Hey J, I also have 2 SX Jazz Basses with Audere preamp system and they both went sound great after the mods. I have Fender Cobalt Noiseless Pickups on the 78 Fender Jazz Bass. I dropped a set of Seymour Duncan Bassline PU's in one of the SX's. That one really sounds great.

[mynaisdj]

@hollywood526 WHICH CONFIGURATION IS YOUR PREAMP VOL VOL STACKED BASS/TREBLE OR SOMETHING ELSE?

[Loleczeqlolowaty]

He looks like CJ From GTA San Andreas. xD Great video!

[hollywood526]

I also prefer the Fender Jazz video cover over the KSD vid, I love that Fender and Audere combo growl! Hopefully I will get some time to post some more vids soon!

[radmin2]

I like this better than the one on the KSD. I gotta get an old fender!

[Fleshsifter]

this guy is king of all music

[gre107]

Man you're just trippin and rippin through that one!

Peace and good grooves!

[beninjamin]

now thats real great sounding..

iam gonna sell my precision :P

[motobassplayer17]

great job!!!

[cowcrusher]

Amazing, however you are slightly out of tune. But your chops are really good

[antney6256]

How in the *#@#@ could you say he's out of tune!!! You probly can't even play!! Quit being a hater even IF you weren't hating you could have save that stupid coment!!!!!

[cowcrusher]

It was a little out of tune, I didn't say he sucks though! I play 5 instruments and electric/upright professionally along with electric guitar professionally. So yes I do know what I am talking about.

[wwoodson]

It's all in the name..........Right COWCRUSHER?

[bassist13]

Actually he is slightly out of tune nothing wrong with that though, not sure why cowcrusher was negged.

[davecg2]

wow, definitely one of the best covers of this song

[bean9seventy]

when the album , (dave sanborn) came out i always prefered,, lets just say goodbye,,

ive noticed no one bothered covering it

the other thing ive noticed , on" the run for cover" ,, covers on you tube is no one has realy played the origional ,,

they seem to using a midi box , and every bodys taking the same approach,,,

realy tight on cetain parts and ignoring other bits of the choon,,,

i think the guy playing on this video has captured both ,M,Miller and some of the song

[nsjmusic]

great solid playing man. I want to nail that track for a gig sometime.

[bonez201]

it took me a while to figure out what was wrong with this video. your a righty. nice playing

[bassmen138]

Man, just had to complement you agin on this vid. I have no doubt that if Marcus Miller were to hear this, he would get sick.

[Nujynisis]

YO!!! U are killing!! That Fender is killing that KSD!!!! Sound great man!!

[theethioman]

Man! I keep coming back to this video and yet I can't get enough of it.I have heard the KSD version and this bass sounds better for me.Man keep groooving.Now I get, playing slap bass is like how you handle your lady in bed.Show some love and respect but bang it hard til it makes the sound you want to hear, groving at the same time.ha ha ha.Man keep up the good job.I am looking forward to your next vid.

[Matteozanocco86]

Hey Man!

you are so good, i like so much this song!

Actually is my ring tone of the telephone ;-)

I have see just a week ago a show, and the bassist have the Ken Smith, it is not an expensive bass but it sound very well.

[derrickswol]

great s0und man!!!!!!

[traep123]

HOT MY MAN.....VERY HOT..ALL I CAN SAY

[Loleczeqlolowaty]

Where I can download midi file of Run For Cover?

[wannabeemarlowdk]

I can't quit watchin this..you don't even break a sweat!!!  Love the rhythm at 1.58!

[RaphaelSBS]

holy crap man

nice slap on this bass =D

[wannabeemarlowdk]

is the thumb on the left hand ever pressing down of the frets to help out???

[hollywood526]

The left thumb position at the end of the neck just happens to be the most comfortable position for me to play. The location varies from one bass to another depending on the bass's physical design, on my Yamaha TRB 1005L, I use my thumb around the 22nd fret due to a longer scaled neck. Basically, it all about what is comfortable for you as opposed to any technical advantage. I hope this helps!

"Play with Passion"

[wannabeemarlowdk]

That helps imensly, but i am an idiot.....I'm sorry, I meant your right thumb, but that helps out a lot regarding the comments on your left thumb..i think i got it mixed up because you are a "lefty" bass player

[spukymyk]

this are one of the many videos in youtube that inspired me to learn marcus miller's run for cover...thanks =) 5 stars...great tone!

[jimdunlop123456789]

dude that is soo funky man .... keep it up ..... what a great version of marcus miller' run for cover ... i hope to see more of this from you.

[NYtoPDX]

Not nearly enough vids like this on youtube, so badass,

keep it funky

[hunterspark40]

That's what you call holding the groove down! Perfect!

[7777777rlt]

yo Hollywood U SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TBITB]

OUTSANDING!!! i was tapping both of my feet watching you tap both of yours! you kept the energy up the whole time! great jam! i agree marcus would enjoy that rendition!

[76m]

dude !!! u rocked the shit out of that song. Marcus Miller would go wild if he heard you play it like that. love your grove and the bass sound . audere could use for thier marketing.

[jinithith2]

Dude first of all, awesome playing, and second, the J bass with the Audere sounds great!! I love my audere pres :)

[KurtSandford]

Is that a Trace amp?

Sweeeeeeeeeet groove.

[hollywood526]

The amp is a Trace Elliot GP 12 SMX Pre Amp w/ built in amp. The Bass preamp is an Audere Audio JZ3 Vol, Mid/Bal, Treble/Bass configuration. The Bass is a 77-78 Fender Jazz U.S.A. Ash body, Maple Neck and Fretboard w/ Pearloid Block Inlays.

[thewavestreetsurfer]

Man you sound great,you are real inspiration,I have alot of work ahead of me.

[grownnbass]

Yo man that's funky as hell...Keep it up family...

[MarcusJaco1234]

great man. Which z-mode did you use (hi, mid, lo) to get your tone??

[hollywood526]

Hi Z mode!

[jacintonegro]

My Negroe you are one damm amazing player, I love your tone and your jazz bass in the back with the maple body ala Marcus Miller is Phenomenal. Keep it up. Love those phuncky licks.

[AudioKid2k8]

man this is a fabulous groove... i can definitely tell you connect with this song, everything was flowin!

[hollywood526]

I created the sequence on my Motif 7, not sure if I still have it...

[JazzScene]

guh-reat!!!

[jediknt6470]

OMG!!! DA SHIZZNIT!!! I have an Audere JZ3 on the way for my 70's Jazz Right now, i already updated to the SCN pickups about 3-weeks ago, can't wait to hear how it sounds!!! ;0)

Keep Funkin It Up My Brother!!! Peace.

[thepapax]

OMG there's a funky shit... love it! The tone is wicked, this song can make move even a handicapped person!

[oluap84]

what a nice tone man.,... i just love it. great groove

[Carlosbassman9886]

How the hell you got that sound!? amazing tone man

[contegeorge]

My god this is the sound.

I must buy a Audere Audio JZ3!!!

[unknownriches]

I just like the way you play. This is different. I like different.

[triplstack]

My God. Your feel matched with your technical ability = devastating!!!

[joeysamuel]

Awesome!!!!!!

[boonokian]

its interesting to hear the difference in tone from the KSD to the vintage fender, the fenders got such a badass slap tone, vicious,

not nearly enough videos of this quality on youtube,

straight badass

[StingrayForLife]

straight badass indeed, but you still can't beat the good ol' musicman stingray. the humbucker sound just rules.

[Bygde]

When I closed my eyes, I could swear it was Marcus playing! Awesome!

[1peoplesun]

thats nice who is playing bass while you play guitar ?

[jinithith2]

is this question a joke?

[boonokian]

what the fuck are you talking about

[Carlosbassman9886]

hahahahahahahahahaha WTF!?

[DUBXXX]

hey man, u said ages ago that u upgraded our preamp wit audere jz3, did you also upgrade your pick-up's? and how much did it all cost you because im thinking of putting on my 2006 fender highway jazz bass

[hollywood526]

Hey Dubb, yes I also swapped out the original fender pickups and replaced them with Fender Cobalt Noiseless Pickups. The mods cost approx. $325.00 and I'm still satisfied! Peace! Play with Passion!

[SlapATACK]

Thats some really impressive chops man!

[buinooo]

tu uomo ne sai!

[ipw68]

Whoa....great groove and feel!!:-)

[omriee]

where can i get that backup track?

[Jimmygoodein]

Badass playing

[bazookasax]

your sound = jesus

[theethioman]

I've been lookin for a 4 string bass capable of producing sound to that,ofcourse with the hands of a person like you.Any pickup modification on this bass ?

[hollywood526]

Yes Sir' the pickups were modified with Fender Cobalt Noiseless Pickups. They did not change the bass tone at all which was a great thing, they were installed to decrease the noise level only! I have also installed an Audere Audio JZ3 Preamp' which really pushes the natural bass tone to the limit!

[bowelrock]

Evil burn the witch :lol Nice playing

[OrganizedConfusion42]

there is nothing like a jazz man...i finally got one today...

[superchan1903]

You are the dogs danglies!!!

Quality m8.

[senollist]

yyyeahh

[tolinfitz]

damn. that sounded sick. what kind of strings are you using? your D is a bit out but oh well your playing made up for it tenfold. haha

[ManifestPanda]

that tone is fucking Incredible!!!!

[politico222]

Sonido increible!!

[codia12]

man...u a sick individual. i'm a huge Marcus Miller fan. he would be very impressed with your cover. keep doin' yo' thang'!
