[BumDog2112]

@TheForbiddenZone8 Thanks!

[superperez319]

His face at the end is pricless :D

[BumDog2112]

@superperez319 I knew I had a few sour notes in there. That was my "this is as good as its gonna get" face. lol

[metlaheadzander]

Dude this is awesome, maybe tune the E two steps lower to get a harder tone on this song? But even so this sounded great, keep it up.

[BumDog2112]

@metlaheadzander Thanks!

[jeffgnr90]

have the same bass. even with the stock pickups, it sounds amazing! such a versatile instrument it it

[BumDog2112]

@jeffgnr90 It really is a great bass.

[Pragman86]

Awesome man. Plus is a very long song that's hard on its own.

Also, is funny that you have like 8-9 basses back there and not even one is 5-string.

Great job. Thumbs up.

[BumDog2112]

@Pragman86 Thanks! I havn't had the need for a 5 or 6 string bass yet. I have considered buying a 5'er, but I'm affraid it will sit and collect dust.

[Arteymis]

You're doing this greatly !

[DarkRaiish]

I don't even have a bass and am gonna do this on my classic guitar.

[BumDog2112]

@DarkRaiish Pleasae post up the video when you do! That would be awesome!

[DarkRaiish]

@BumDog21 Gonna be a while before I make it though.

[MrNorbi14]

I got the same bass :-)

[BumDog2112]

@MrNorbi14 It's a great bass for the money. The Music Man style pickup I added gives it a totally different sound from my two other jazz basses.

[clash64]

@MrNorbi14 SO DO I !!!

[eltontoqvevideos]

Tabs Please!! :D

[BumDog2112]

@eltontoqvevideos I would if I could, but it would take me a month to chart this out.  lol

Thanks for watching!

[TheDaverrdog]

One of the toughest bass songs. Nice job

[BumDog2112]

@TheDaverrdog Thanks for the nice comment!

[constantine2112]

Killer cover. Really well done.

[BumDog2112]

@constantine2112 Thanks buddy! I need to pick up the pace and post some more videos. I don't know how you find the time to learn and film so many songs!

[Otherpie]

This is amazing, helps a lot when trying to learn this on my 4-string.

[BumDog2112]

@Otherpie Glad this could help.  Have fun with it!

[tokorev747777]

You are godly! How you did this on a 4 string is amazing!

[BumDog2112]

@tokorev747777 I'm glad you liked my rendition. Thanks for watching!

[tokorev747777]

@BumDog2112 No problem man! You are my idol :P

[and1234xxx]

Tabs?????????''' You are my idol!

[BumDog2112]

@and1234xxx I wish I had enough time to write the tabs for this. Would probably take me longer to write the tabs than it did to learn the song by ear. Glad you liked it!

[and1234xxx]

@BumDog2112 ok don't worry man! Thanks a lot :D

[Killsnygg]

You're really an inspiration, I tried this song when I had played bass for about 2 years and cried when I saw it. Now thanks to you I'll try it again 4 years later ;)

[BumDog2112]

@Killsnygg Thanks for such a nice comment! This is a really fun song to play. Once you get it down, you'll want to play it all the time.

[1993bart]

Good job man!!!

[BumDog2112]

@1993bart Thanks!

[MarkuzRed]

Fuckin' awesome! I try to make some kind of "reconstruction" usin' the 5 strings notes... but... I give up... and saw you playing that song, DAMMED IT. I'm going to try it again... Perfect video, great notes, Im inspired... thankz to you... see your later, bass-bro... au revoir

[BumDog2112]

@MarkuzRed Thanks for such a nice comment!

[jeanlsd]

Amazing job friend, you gave me the courage to start playing dream theater on my 4s. Thanks.

[BumDog2112]

@jeanlsd Awesome! Be sure to post up your results! Us 4 string guys need to stick together! hahaha!

[duilkin]

I can see the adjustments you made, the bass of this song originally had a different tuning... And you have achieved with standard tuning and in 4 strings... worthy of admiration, AMAZING job!!!

[BumDog2112]

@duilkin Thanks Mike. I have seen other 4 string covers of Panic Attack but most were done with different tunings. I really wanted to be able to play this in standard tuning and try to make it sound as if it could have been writen this way. Thanks for the kind words. Especially from an amazing bassist like you!

[SuperMaBeAN]

this is amazing..

good job man..

i wish i can play like you..



[BumDog2112]

@SuperMaBeAN Thanks for the kind words!

[vocetubecoco]

omg so hard to play that in a four strings gj!

[BumDog2112]

@vocetubecoco Thanks! I tried my best to do the song justice even though I had to play some parts an octave higher.

[artemiy89]

awesome

[BumDog2112]

@artemiy89 Thank you!

[kionar12]

Epic, can you write the tabs ?

You can make me happy :D

[BumDog2112]

@kionar12  Sorry, it would take me longer to write the tabs then it took me to learn the song. hahaha!

[Veradoradehon]

Oh yessssssss!!!!  :):):)

[BumDog2112]

@Veradoradehon Thanks!

[dmasta123456]

damn ur the boss!!

[BumDog2112]

@dmasta123456 hahaha! Thanks!

[kevinyo4]

WOAH!! mad skills dude! im learning this song on drums right now, it looks a whole lot easier on drums :P (or maybe thats because ive never played a bass haha)

anyways how long have you been playing for?

[BumDog2112]

@kevinyo4 Thanks! Post up a video once you get it down! I'm self taught and I've been playing for 20 years.

[RagingChadzi]

I'm so glad you posted this. Definitely learning it now.

[BumDog2112]

@RagingChadzi Awesome! Be sure to post up your results!

[OrgasmikMode]

My friend just asked me to play bass for his band, I've never picked up a bass in my life. I posted this video on his page, said "I couldn't do this for the life of me" next day had over 500 likes :p

[BumDog2112]

@OrgasmikMode Awesome! Thanks for passing this on!

[EvilSkeltos]

Whoa you totally nailed the intro.. on a 4 string!? I know Myung plays that part by doing some taping or something up on the neck it's pretty insane looking

[BumDog2112]

@EvilSkeltos Thanks! I have to pull off some tricky fingering since I'm playing in standard tuning. Myung playes tuned down and this allows him to use open strings. Just different ways to skin a cat ;)

[locate77landmark]

greaaaaaat jobbbbb!!!

and nice sound,you are cooool

[BumDog2112]

@locate77landmark Thanks for watching!

[cornycheese92]

200th veiw

[christianbrasil]

AWESOME

[DelgiftC08]

That was just stunning! It´s amazing the way you survived playing the whole song in just one take, and more amazing is the fact that you adapted the notes to be played on a 4 string bass without harming the song in any way.

Excellent job, Shawn. :)

[BumDog2112]

@DelgiftC08 Thanks Claudio! It's such a fun song to play.  I'm glad you feel that my adaptations didn't hurt the song.

[GuitarShowPlayer]

Great electric bass playing. Very good!!!!! Dream Theater forever...

[BumDog2112]

@GuitarShowPlayer  Thanks!

[siklilmonkee]

wow dude you rock great tone great cover

[BumDog2112]

@siklilmonkee Thanks! I still feel like I should have had the bass a little more up front in the mix.

[Dan441734]

Yo Dog, Great tone brother and awesome playing....holy shite!

[BumDog2112]

@Dan441734 Thanks Dan! Trying to decide what to do next...............

[JasonLeonPike]

Good job. Sounds like quite a lot of woodshedding there.

[BumDog2112]

@JasonLeonPike Thanks Jason. Yeah, took a bit of work to figure this one out. Some pretty tricky finger patterns that have really helped to break me out of some bad habits.

[madsholthansen]

Nice :) How are you enjoying your squier? Is it good? I am thinking of buying one :)

[BumDog2112]

@madsholthansen I love it. It plays as well as any of my other basses. It's a quality piece of gear. Don't be afraid of the name. 

[Lordoftheflies234]

VERY GOOD!!!!! As usual!

[BumDog2112]

@Lordoftheflies234  Thanks!!!
