SYSTEM OF A DOWN TOXICITY BASS COVER

[landers8209]

Very nice cover

[PointEMusic]

you, sir, have the same amp as me

[raywhiteusmc]

I know I'm gonna get my ass kicked for this one but here goes. Bass looks super easy (and kind of boring) compared to guitar but I see magazines and How-to-DVD's and all kinds of praise for bass players. What makes it so fun? I understand why bass is important but why do people like to play it? Personal preference, maybe? I dunno. Thinking about trying it though.

[KingOfKhaos1991]

@raywhiteusmc for the same reason someone would choose to play a violin over a cello, same basic princliple but that person would prefer the sound/feel/playing style of the violin.

the bass just works for me, as it does for many other people. and if someone gives you hate for asking a legit question, screw em lol

[raywhiteusmc]

@KingOfKhaos1991 Yeah I get that. I "feel" the guitar. It works for me but I love the power of a bass so I'm gonna try it. Thanks.

[SudoMade]

Every song can be played without a pick just the same as with a pick. Don't limit yourself with such thoughts. Granted, playing a song like this will wear your nails and finger tips out but it's possible. The pick is just a substitute for your bare fingers, hold your fingers together like there's a pick, pretend your holding a pick in a semi acoustic fashion, its all the same as if you were holding plectrum. Thanks for the upload, awesome playing.

[HUMC4L]

@SudoMade No. A pick has a very distinct sound if you do it in a certain way that your bare fingers can't possibly imitate.

[CaptainCyprus]

ok guys who gives a shit about picks just relax and enjoy the song whats the problem??

[Yjer33]

awesome!!!!!!

[mionsinho]

Disliked. Why are you using pick to play bass?

[mr789metalcore789]

@mionsinho so what its an awesome cover

i play bass and i play with a pick to and im great i play in a band and we owned live

[puffywaffles]

@mionsinho Dude. Some songs can only be played with a pick. Novoselic used a pick, Shavo used a pick, McCartney used a pick.

[mionsinho]

@puffywaffles If you have fingers, use to play bass. Pick is to guitar. You can make fast solos without pick.

[puffywaffles]

@mionsinho There is no rule saying that you MUST use your fingers, I like fingers the most, but some songs can only be played with a pick to get a certain sound, so dont dislike this guy´s video just because you do not like picks.

[mionsinho]

@puffywaffles This song can be played without a pick. I like the picks, I use a lot to play guitar, but not on bass. This is my opinion, I'm not forcing anyone to agree. Tanks

[LivingForBass]

@mionsinho shavo uses a pick, you're really ignorant T_T

[mionsinho]

@LivingForBass man, i'm gonna repeat, this is MY opinion, i'm not forcing anyone to agree, right? Look this bass solo, without pick, and tell me what you think. /watch?v=xkofqtSDTms

[Noah3041]

is this a santander e-bass and if it is if got the same in black =)

[Jeremyx2AndJonathan]

nice !

[FokasSk8er]

Shavo plays with a pick sometimes,so all of you haters motherfuckers shut the fuck up!

[DaOJCode]

nice.



[chapelofdemons]

great cover my friend..... Thanks for taking your time to upload the video... It helped me a lot with the cover

[fikion]

pick ¬¬

[545Nico]

muchas gracias me ayudo mucho este video lml

[cursedswordsman]

C'mon mayne, use dem fingas

[triviuoli]

if your suppose to play bass with your fingers how come they make bass pics, let people play bass with pic if they want to

[ButlerSONG]

I can't get SOAD tuning :\

[Zip2461996]

I don't care about the style, but the sound and you man have it.

[dragonsword343]

i think he has so low ratings cuz he uses a pic and a weird version.... usually tabs don't show what he did

[odistery]

What does he play in the verse? I can't find a tab that plays it like he does.

[TPNetro12]

Nice cover. I just started with the bass 3 days ago and I know how to play only 2 songs: "Reptilia - The strokes" and "Boulevard of broken dreams - Green day"

I use pick but my friends said I must learn to play with fingers. Now I'm learning with this song :P Sometimes I use pick, and sometimes fingers, but for me, it's more easy with pick xD.

Sorry 4 my english, I'm spanish ^^.

GOGOGO PICKERS AND FINGERS! xDD

[Zip2461996]

@TPNetro12 yes you should try both or even learn with a teacher. Imo I find it difficult to play with a pick.

[HUMC4L]

@TPNetro12 If you like using a pick, use a pick. I probably would've learned using fingers, but I tought myself when I was obsessed with Nikki Sixx and he ALWAYS uses a pick, but if you like using both, go ahead. Saying you have to use fingers is kinda like saying you have to hold a tuba by the front tubes. Sure it may be "proper", but it doesn't really effect your skill. :D Keep rockin' the bass! It's the best thing ever! BTW: You have pretty good English for having Spanish as a first language!

[beeper182]

Nice cover, and good job for playing how you want. I'm sick of people saying "Why don't you finger strum" It really gets annoying. Sorry to be an echo but I totally agree, and great cover.

[SuperTomodashi]

AHHHHH GENIAL ESE COVER ESTA GENIAL

[pramit09]

@shavo159 can u pls pls pls mail me the bass tabs at pramits@ymail.com pls....thnx in adv..

[WickedJesterVideos]

Good job dude. People need to stop crying about how people use picks. Sometimes I use picks sometimes I dont. TBH Some songs sound Better with picks/

[nojoklo10]

[DirtRider2020]

GOOD COVER MAN I guss u ve been palyin for years

[davidL0g]

playing with pick or fingers has to do with witch sound you want, not skill

[Roikoss]

Sweet cover, helped me figure it out better. Rock on bro!

[musiclover4ever2000]

@Roikoss umm she

[DBZSSJ7]

hey guys i got a blue Ibanez GSR 200 bass that i am selling it ha a slight crack in it but if you are willing to buy it offer me a price by messaging me.

[07roker08]

[0neLastNightmare]

Curious. Would you be interested in doing a virtual cover of this song? if so messege me. You'll have to redo it without music. Messege me if your interested. I play drums. Thanks. :) hope your interested. Your good.

Jesse.

[natrockskate]

[Cheesemaster890]

[4joaosilva]

[vengion55]

not true it is very possible to use your fingers at this speed and even higher i mean i can use my fingers at double base speed as many good bass players can

[stardude3396]

is system of a down hard on bass ?

[natrockskate]

[mokeanL]

i dont think its too fast to finger pick. i use my fingers for faster music

[KotNaKacu]

Ibanez GSR200?

[XBASSPLAYER4EVERX]

@KotNaKacu it is i have the same one but it gsr205

[oth131]

10 dumb-asses missed the like buton (or maybe they though it was THIS-I-LIKE, whatever -___-) great cover men :D

[btd96]

I was wondering, what kind of bass is that, company name, price.

It looks like an Ibanez though

please answer

[jasq001]

mam taka gitare

[maxmetal14]

use your fingers its way easyer to pick that way much quicker and slick

[JudaIscariota]

Nice cover! But when you play the riff of "soooooooooooooooooooomewhere" the riff is not C: 3 2 0 2 0 0 3 2 0 2 0 0 ?

[david3943]

Hi man. Timing is good, the only thing is equalization; more bases and bright.

[soad318]

nice :)

do u have tabs ?

[nickisepicwin]

i like this cover because i cant hear the bass to well in the original, it just emphasises it quite well

[yawn937]

i have the exact same bass and amp lol

[caqxaqzaqzaqzaqz]

It must be played by fingers without pick, in verses tabs are the same, after guitar sounded alone play

3 2 0 0 0 0 3 2 0 0 0 0

[brutesniper]

please give me your tabs cause i cant get the ones ur playing :(

[pedomarihuano]

[ricardocsc]

GoodJob ;D

[RockRox7]

Ibanez?

[metalbassist2004]

i do both pick and three fingers

[wizzard64598]

lose the pick (sounds way better nd it's easier 2 stay on-beat).....nd the slow rif after u first come in isn't like tht........

[xXEvErYChRiS1995Xx]

now this is bad ass

great job, i expect bass players to play at least this good is ur going to do a cover

[ToshiboYagaToyatomi]

[mastern00bkiller]

[EPICF4ILURE69]

i want ot learn this song so bad. i just started playin bass i think it sounds sick. i have a lyon lb40 power series. can u give me some tips ? if u can write on my name

[koki41182]

bass player of soad plays with pick or fingers xDD ??in every other video he plays diffrent lol...btw,i prefer pick if you play punk,for metal is really your choice,and jazz and that SHIT play with fingers XD

[drakul20us]

Very nicely done. Where can I find the tabs for this song?

[crazyclown234]

dude it would sound better if you droped c

[miloesalazar]

Hey if he wants to use a pick, let him use a pick. I'm with ya bro fukn A cover

[w00tbassw00t]

[Goby1223]

Send me the tabs for this. Thanx and keep playing, you're beast good.

[kfirarieli1]

tuning for this song:

C

G

C

F

[xRyuzakii]

damm .. i was so happy whan i was going to learn some S.O.A.D Songs .. and then i saw that tuning ; i was like -.- fk off ( i dont know how to tune it. )

[alecshankle]

you bass picking pussy...

[numetla]

shavo plays byob with bass, call shavo a pussy

[arturofuhrer]

Well played, man, well played. I like the part you begin to play at 0:37. But, are you using the standard tuning? It's just a little doubt.

P.S. The bass players have to play with fingers or pick according the sound they want to produce, a bass player who use finger is NOT better than someone using pick.

[FleshStarvingBass]

In 70% cases, finger player IS better. You have good point, but it is only half truth.

[Nublet100]

Bassists rule, though lead guitar is much cooler and better the bass is just as important. man your realy good

[Katsumoto94]

can you please sent me the tabs? awesome job 5*

[KPLUGP]

gil contesta los mensajes de tu fans! XD

[MetsakerZ]

toca muito

[gumballofdoom]

and too add to my last comment having an argument on the internet is like winning the special olympics

in the end your still retarded

[gumballofdoom]

rock the fuck on bro

i use a pick too and so does the other bassist in my band(weird concept having 2 bassist but we made it work)

but again rock the fuck on this is sick

[numetla]

bass is the best, so 2bassists make a band more awesome i think xD

[Droopy95mkDS]

Very good ;-) I use the pick too for this song, and I think that bassists who use the pick are as good as bassists who use their fingers. I also think that bassists aren't useless : have you ever seen metal or rock bands without a bassist ?

[Sparta729]

awesome :)

[Nek0Baya]

imo Bass players should play how they want w/ or w/o a pick, its up to the player.Its a COVER which means he's playing it the way he wants to. If he sucks JUST CAUSE he plays with a PICK, you should crawl in the nearest hole and die tbh. Good Cover sir. I applaud you.

[puppetmetal]

I know, dude. I just hate it when someone says all bass players should play with fingers or they need to play with a pick, otherwise they suck. Sometimes I play with fingers, sometimes with a pick.

[bstoybox]

@puppetmetal exactly just becuz a bassist decides to play with there fingers/pick on a cover dosent mean there a bad bass player, like ive only played bass for 9 months but i play with a pick mostly but thats cuz i usually play like metalcore and stuff like that, it changes by genre and players decision. oh and great cover.

[510pbfreak]

@Nek0Baya thats some good comment...i hate when people be fukn tripping over bassist using a pick

[ChimpBoy918]

@Nek0Baya agreed, id like to see some ppl play this with their fingers as good as this guy... nice cover

[AtGod751]

@Nek0Baya true true :) it´s just on player if he wants to play with or without a pick everyone likes another sound of bassguitar

[Korndude4561]

@Nek0Baya ya i use the pick all the time, and i don't give a dam lol. Check out Know bass cover on mine :D

[Steveloveshistruck]

great job dude

[rancidboy69]

nice cover,you think you could to a tutorial? please?

[ULYSSES2413]

Is this the XB100..??

[kmanmarley]

nice job man!!!!!!

[abebebest]

uh oh. another pick-finger-bass war. just let it go guys.

nice cover anyway :-)

[kizaki120]

tengo el mismo bajo y ampli XDXD

[kfirarieli1]

got same guitar and amp XD

[RampageOleg]

don't understand what's your fucking problem about using picks?

Nice cover, man, could you please tell me what's the settings for the amp?

[numetla]

question: doesnt shavo play 12......12 12 15.....15 15 12 instead of what you play from 0:38 to 1:14?

[bigblob42]

Same notes just a different spot on the bass. It still sounds the same

[numetla]

he plays it like guitar(sounds like that)but bass does "almost nothing" at these points

[bigblob42]

Usually i play 0 3 0 3 because it is simple but the high notes are the right way to play it

[kornrocs666]

yeah dude can you give us the link for the tabs plz?

[rossidude]

Do you play it using tabs or by ear? If tabs: would you mind providing a link? Thanks.

[MrUserbane]

Thanks, i needed the Verse to play

[supersheepo13]

dude wat tone is ur bass tuned?? drop C# or what???

[shavo159]

drop c

[iBiomega]

@supersheepo13 System always plays in dropped C

[BassGuitarLover1]

nice playing man, for a song like this a pick is needed unless you are extreme with your fingers but i think its good with a pick. good job

[vitorbixa]

just 5 stars,you are great!

[5hellgast5]

LOL

[robinsonheroesncrh]

Plz send me the tabs to that song!

[ZeroGravityRC]

well it doesnt really matter if you use a pick or not. And this was exactly how it sounded for me

[XxTylerXxz]

Skaterposum has a point. But using a pick doesnt make you not a bassist. I dont like using a pick. I finger walk alot. But some songs just require a pick.

[15palcov]

....nice....

[xSJNxJewBoy]

Send me Tabs please!

[goth001]

is that bass the yamaha rbx200 if so i gt the exact same one red n black i love it nice sounding bass 2 lol

[salsadude1]

yo i think i got the same bass as you :D

[DarkSoul929Productio]

are you using drop c tuning for this?

[shavo159]

yep

[spikestripe123]

its whole step down tuning "CGCF"

[skaterposum]

yea i no wat u mean my bad for judging to early

[skaterposum]

dude i didnt mean to say u wasnt a real bassest ok look im freakn sorry i just didnt no real bassest did us picks im sorry an i thought the cover was kick ass anyway

[EHkissedLB]

omg great cover!!!! i prefur using picks than my fingures. it helps in the begining when u first start though! lolz XD great cover man!

[skaterposum]

i dint mean it im telln u that was a kick ass cover just i dont think real bassest use picks thats just my openun im mean hes dam good im just sayn

[EHkissedLB]

we have to use picks for these songs you know. if u call yourself a real bassest u shouldn't say that they dont use pick. sure u dont but many famous bass guitarests use them. okay keep that in mind next time u decide to say something like that to other people

[Psycho69People]

But why should guitarist use a plectrum then? I mean for them it's also the base to learn fingers. It's just a style of playing. If you prefer to play with.... what...something like a dead rat, it's not wrong... it's just the way u play :)

[skaterposum]

its ok but dude if ur a real basses like me use ur hand but other wise that was good

[chazratm]

you saying Shavo isnt a realy bassist? cause he uses a pick too... and it's his song

[manthisprog]

Creo que es el primer cover en bajo de SOAD que no apesta en youtube... copado man, prolijito, eso es importante....
