  • Fuck off everyone who thinks that its impossible to play bass with a pick! i do it myself! and i do whats comfortable for me! if you like fingers better, you can play fingers! but dont say its impossible, couse it completely normal!

  • i heard the pick ups in this bass suck :/ such a nice bass too

  • steve94223@ you're right, I prefer to play with a pick, after all, there is nothing wrong with playing with a pick

  • :philosoraptor:

  • omg, who gives a fuck about his thunderbird. look at the skills, not the bass.

  • Comment removed

  • Krist Novoselic uses pick when playing bass so what?

  • @yellowpwns97 Not to mention the Ash bassist, who actually has almost always used a Thunderbird lol

  • Very good! :)

    please comment my video's :)

  • GIBSON THUNDERBIRD IV BASS :DDD

  • Thunderbird Gothic  IV?

  • nice playing but i would like to hear the guitar for the intro but you still sound good

  • Thanks for the help!

  • a thunderbird costs like, my life

  • @franchute120 I'm sure the Epiphone one isn't too dear, and would sound almost as good

  • People seem to want to play bass with their fingers on most youtube covers, such as this, and that's cool, but there's nothing wrong with playing the bass with a pick. For this song fingers just don't cut it in my opinion. Newsteads' tough, chunky sound can only be reproduced with a pick.

  • @steve94223 i vary depending on how fast and complicated the song is for example for this song i will use finger picking. but for other things that are faster and change strings a lot like slipknot ill use a pick but yea u r right i does sound different :)

  • @steve94223 I can't stand a pick on ANY bass, in my opinion...

  • @steve94223 First time I've ever seen a top comment that is pro-pick! Congrats!

  • @steve94223 I like both pick and fingers...But I swear you can have a ``chunky `` sound with fingers! ;) You just need to have a good bass and a good amp

  • u do dubstep bass line covers?

  • @officialkingofbass get the fuck lost -__-

  • @ZxmaggotzxZ dont u dare speak to me that way bastard...

  • @ZxmaggotzxZ i just did !

  • Fuckin easy...

  • @muchkomuch who cares ... ???

  • @muchkomuch Who gives a fuck?

  • @muchkomuch Who gives a flying fuck?? Douche.

  • @cypresspuz

    You are a fanatic of this shitty band? What's the problem?

    A piece of simple, but fun to play, right.

  • @muchkomuch Oh im so sorry Simon! i forgot there are thousands of better bands out there...douche

  • @cypresspuz

    That's right. The best effect give two guitars in my opinion. A and Metallica is the average compositions. They are good, even this simple design as cep "Eneter Sandman," "Master of Puppets" (thanks to google translator that automatically converts to me the song titles to uppercase), strangely similar to "Sad Wingds of Destiny" and together inncyh things, "Thning That thould not be "and the" Ride the Lightning ". The rest of it rubs off unfortunately. IMO boredom, monotony.

  • Well done lad, but to be honest, I'm here just because i saw GIBSON FUCKIN' THUNDERBIRD!

  • Awesome dude! :D .

  • i want that bass

  • @blackshotgb and nikki sixx, and twiggy ramirez (jeordie white) and jacl bruce and paul mcartney played the short scale versions

  • Hey man, very nice job. Can u send me the bass tab? Thx.

  • Better than Newsted in the studio version!

  • can u send me bass tab

  • ur missing the second bass fill

  • crotch shot

  • your bass sounds out of tune : /

  • Comment removed

  • I liked it alot ^^

  • Yeah! Thunderbird!!!!

  • Oh are you a drummer too?

  • @GunsNRoses103

    A bassist, for so to say, he cannot call himself.

  • Dude. GOOD JOB. Im learning how to play this just from watching thiss.

  • Is this bass a standard Thunderbird?

  • This is very inaccurate... Not a very good cover...

  • @koske494 Epiphone doesn't make jazz basses... and the Thunderbird sure isn't!!

  • THIS IS NOT HOW THIS SONG IS PLAYED, you are not playing the bass line jason wrote you are just playing over the rhythm guitar, check the master bass track, this song is not as simple as you made look like man

  • 2 things, 1. Tabs CAN be accurate. 2. What kind of bass is that? I think we have the same one lol.

  • @vAGENTv0RANGEv this bass is either Gibson Or Epiphone standard Thunbebird .

  • @aassyr1111 i think its an Epiphone cause most of them have that cable thing in the front where you can see it

  • nice video :))

  • people i need help, i wanna play bass, thunderbird, but i only use lefty bass.

    please, somebody give me some link

  • @toravamarto You can always buy parts from Warmoth and make a left-handed Thunderbird. I don't think Gibson or Epiphone make left-handed thunderbirds.

  • yeah, tabs are wrong, but hear bass master track is more accurate

  • good job man.. keep it up

  • Epiphone or Gibson? And Jazz Or Precision?

  • Do you play in normal tuning?

  • whats the differnce beetween an electrric and an acoustic bass

  • @panagiwths100 electric is badass

  • @panagiwths100 an electrric makes sound with help from electricity using amplification through an amp.

    An acoustic bass makes sound using air in the body of the bass and amplifies the sound using the large mass of air inside it

  • @RufusLucas thanks for repling :)

  • oop's my bad G#, B

  • very good job! the part "sleep with one eye open" I see you playing the G#, D, after that jump down to your G# octave then D octave. you'll hear it. I like to add it. I think it add a little something, and you don't have that pause. great job.

  • nice job you messed up on some parts overall good cover =] i play irl 2

  • good job Bro (:

  • hey another fellow bassist here nd yes im a girl, but anyway i just wanna say ur lk really good nd keep up the good work :)

  • Wesley's got the skill!

  • I LOVE THE THUNDERBIRD

  • @666bonscott firebird :L

  • @666bonscott but the neckdive blows!

  • @Promession i dont care at all about the neck dive it sounds amazing and looks amazing

  • @666bonscott hahah, well yeah if youre a casual player whos playing sitting down then I guess you wouldnt care.. But you wouldnt say the same when youre on stage and are trying to use your hands for something else like drinking a beer or lighting a cigarette. However I guess the problem can be fixed

  • @Promession ive played it at shows before its not bad at all

  • @666bonscott well I guess we have different opinions

  • Fucking fatass. You should rename this video "Enter Elephant" because it's more accurate.

  • @cursedswordsman

    what the hell is wrong with you?

  • @xDoppler44x he has a small penis

  • @TM1934

    oh.. that's... oh... xD

  • Are you doing 0-0-6-5-5-0-0-6-5-5-0-3-2-0-2-­3-2-0? Looks like you play it the same way I do it. I did this by ear :D

  • dud nice play can you pliz sande me a tab??

  • Hi, could you please write a tab or send a link with a CORRECT tab for this song please as I want to learn it really bad. Thanks

  • Good cover :) little Advice : Hit the string less strongers with your right hand :)

  • Jason was such a good bassist especially with the baddass plucking that can be heard from the strings on The Black Album!

  • Gordo le pifiaste al tiempo por hacerte el less claypool en el minuto 4:28, pero bien Gordo suena lindo. congratulations!

  • youre a true bad azz

  • Thanks a bunch man! This really helped me learn the song along with tabs. Much needed for an up and coming gig :D

  • @TheDirector1804 dude fender jazz is the best for me..:/ every single model is perfect, no disadvantages

  • this song is sooooo easy to play and yet it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!

  • im a bassist my self and i was wondering whats the difference between a 5 string bass and a 4 string?

  • @OzzyFan4100 u get an extra string :P, the extra string is normally deeper pitch

  • @OzzyFan4100 Really the only point of getting a 5 string is if you play actuall technical or progressive music.

    If your only going to play songs like this its not worth getting.

  • The thunderbird, and the firebird are two of the greatest guitar body styles EVER.

  • is that a gibson thunderbird or an epiphone? im currently rocking an epiphone

  • thanks now i can play this song too

  • loco eres bueno

  • dont sat that that is thunderbird :P

  • You are dirty good!!!! Fucking good!

  • thunderbird !:)

  • Can you send some tabs? Great cover :D

  • Great bass for metallica

  • What kind of bass is that??

    its awesome ;)

    plzz reply

  • @assem0m25 epiphone thundebird it s a really fucking great bass 

  • THUNDERBIRD IV!

    Gibson or Epihpone?

  • I see my video in my chanel , i get this song by hear , all the tabs in Internet are wrong , my friends new bassist learn to get the songs by hear Tabs sucks in my video you can see the real bass lines of this song

  • @ccrstucook that's why i don't use tabs

  • @Wes1731 Really , you didnt use tabs , well body you get it by hear wrong , see the video of Enter Sandman Isolated Bass , this so easy , your cover isnt bad , but you have some wrongs

  • @ccrstucook well it isn't bad at all. You know what's nice about music? That you can play it as you like ;D I love it when people play a song slightly different. It's their style of playing it and they give their own twist to a song ;D

  • @crazylexes I am agree whit you but I think if you going to play slightly different play it whit thing more difficult than the original , but its OK frien Greetings

  • @Wes1731 hey could you tell me how you play the interlude.....I can play the whole rest of the song for a while know but for some reason i've never been able to get the interlude right.

  • @ccrstucook what if you put the tabs on there....will that automatically make them wrong??? lol just a thought..

  • @ccrstucook well... of course tabs suck if u get the WRONG ones...

    by teh way... nice covering...b-_-d

  • @ccrstucook Well.. cover means you playing the song.. doesn't that entitle you to play it the way you want..?

    Fuck correct tabs.

  • @Rubenble LOL

  • @ccrstucook mmm but u really suck at bass dude xD just saw your cover

  • @ccrstucook watch?v=rA1QpYysLhc&feature=re­lated this is real bass line

  • It's a really good cover, but you got tired by the end.. Good job nevertheless!

  • how do u play the change up at around 1:35-1:45? do u know the tab or have a link?

  • whats the difference between using a pick to play or plucking the strings?

  • @elephants4prez Fingers give a more expressive sound on the bass. Also it opens up opportunities to perform and practise different techniques.

    For example with fingers you can switch to tapping chords and using hammer ons for the bass line or you can switch to start playing slap bass then return to picking.

    I have nothing against picks...I used to use them till I realised they can seriously limit a bassists potential!

  • @XStarlessAeonX wow cool, thanks man

  • nice cover, nice bass, nice song. Great dude xD

  • @TheDirector1804 And the body is made out of mahogany. The goth also has a satin finish, which will arguably affect the way it sounds in a positive way. I use to have the regular thunderbird IV and ended up selling it. I bought the goth version a few years later and like it much better.

  • This is a really good cover! That's very nice bass and great tone, what amp are you using here?

  • wats weird is that i play this song on one string and some how it sound dead on like the song

  • thunderbird ftw

  • thank you this was very helpful :)

  • I'm always happy to hear a bass player play fingerstyle. It sounds so much better than a pick.

  • can u suggest any bass amp for a beginner? something that can handle metal

  • @0beyY0urMaster a normal ibanez would do and buy a boos ODB-3 bass overdrive peddle and u got a cliff burton like sound and u can play a song without strumming it is pretty cool in other words u can easily tap on the bass.

  • @0beyY0urMaster

    Cheaper Ampeg or Hartke models.

  • good cover!!

    how do you do for direct recording your covers?

    what sort of equipment do you use??

    like video editing software, usb, audio interfaces etc...

  • @TheDirector1804 There is no volume pot on the goth... just an on off

  • you play it wrong

  • Hey wes, try NOT sucking freaking noob who uses tabs, learn notes noob. Lol jk this is sick, for some reason i listened to the whole thing. Dont let it happen again >.<

  • we have the same tabs great cover man!!!!

  • tabs?????

  • Amazing! A Thunderbird :) Got a Epiphone TB Pro V myself. Well played :>

  • @TheDirector1804 Actually the standard thunderbird is made of maple wood and the goth thunderbird is mahagony like the gibson standard...so the goth is kinda better at that stage...

  • roberts needs to use thunderbirth

  • @carlosodadjian shavo rules

  • @Z0AD yeah!!!

    the best...with a thunderbirtd

  • Comment removed

  • @TheDirector1804 the only things that are different about the goth model from the regular model is the colour and there are no dots on the fret board like there are on the one in this video. the fret markings are only on the top of the neck

  • @Wes1731 the goth is made of different wood (mahogany) than the standard (alder), which should in theory make the goth have a "darker" tone.

  • @Wes1731 i dont have enough energy to look if someone alredy said this, but there is one different which is VERY important tonewise, that is that the goth is made from Mahogny and the standard is made from alder(correct me if im wrong about the wood in the standard and also excuse my spelling) peace(:

  • @Wes1731 it also has a darker sound.

  • @Wes1731 well actually there is a difference... the regular thunderbird body is made of Alder. The Goth is made of Mahogany. And yeah like you said... the collor and the no dots on the fret board are the only differences. The goth has a XII inlay on the 12th fret though.

  • @Wes1731 I have the same guitar.. its the choice of champions :)

  • @Wes1731 @wes1731

    Look at my cover, its shows the more interesting side of enter sandman. You only play the basics. I know I dont play it like metallica does, but if you do its quite a boring song to play.:P

    But beside of that: Good quality video, great sound, and I like your bass.

    Grtz from holland

  • @Wes1731 also the one is epiphone and the other is gibson, except if you re using the same

  • @Wes1731 Well actually, besides what you've already said, the Goth is made from Mahogany whilst the regular one is made out of Alder.

    I have a Goth one myself :D

  • ur playing BASS with a drum shirt on

  • a bassist that wears a Zildjian t-shirt? :D that's strange sorry but I noticed

  • Can you tell me where you got your tabs from?

  • @yeIIowbanana the internet

  • @Wes1731 but where? =(OwO)=
