Are you hearing what I hear - Level 42 play along

[Generalbas1972]

I coundn't agree more. One of MK's best bass lines. The drive and groove is so awesome in that bassline. It's also a fantastic bassline to "warm up" the thumb. Nice tone and nicely played, well done mate :)

[ramon709]

@Generalbas1972 Thanks man, I need to be warmed up already to play it like this though :)

[legomationdotcom]

absolutely brilliant dude..well done.. I purchased a Jaydee MKiii last week online from Ebay..looking forward to tackling this one when it arrives.

[ramon709]

@legomationdotcom Thanks a lot, sorry for the late reply. Congratz with your JD, you gotta upload some vids with your slapmonster then! :)

[garryc300]

nice technique fella, great sound and great choice of cover

[ramon709]

@garryc300 Thanks you, it's an awesome Lvl42 oldy!

[Geeljasjes]

fabulous playing mate.

[ramon709]

@Geeljasjes Thanks! I must say that you have some really great stuff uploaded yourself and you have really nice oldskool equipment!

[minusjason]

Super clean and perfectly timed playing. I just can't get my slap playing to sound this clean. Please tell me you are using a compressor lest I shoot myself.

[ramon709]

@minusjason Hey thanks very much!

No the bass was directly plugged into the pc when I recorded it, sorry :)

[unicornbass]

Great Playing Ramon!

[ramon709]

@unicornbass Thanks! I bet this bass line would sound fantastic on one of your beautiful basses, hope to find that out one day :)

[JanB56]

Thanks for introducing me to that great music... and in such awesome fashion!

[ramon709]

@JanB56 Hey Yw!

Level 42 is an amazing band, you check out some more of their songs if you haven't done so already :)

[JayDee11]

One word......WOW!!

Very well played and great timing. Thanks for sharing.

[ramon709]

@JayDee11 Hey thanks Chris!

[Mowac]

You always play these songs better than I can...I'm always leaving out a few details. Awesome job.

[ramon709]

@Mowac Hey thanks Mowac, it's a matter of practice,cliche but true. I did not got the 'details' right at first either. Keep playing till you drop! :)

[TheWhippinpost]

Wow, forgot about this tune - haven't heard it for yonks. Well played. Are your strings old? Sound a bit "flat" on this.

New camera?

[ramon709]

@TheWhippinpost Yeps, strings are quite dead here and I used to much tone filter to reduce the hi-fi sound and I had the Q-switches set to passive, sounded good in the room though!

Thanks :)

[jonannlou]

Perfect Ramon. Bass sounds great, and I've never had the patience to work out the beginning riff! Love it mate.

[ramon709]

@jonannlou Thanks a lot J, yeah the beginning is a bit tricky, for the occasion I tried to play it like MK does, normally I use different finger positions to make it easier :)

I used a bit to much tonefilter here, but it helped to boost the mid tones a bit.

[guaseli]

Great playing, Ramon, as always. Cheers.

[ramon709]

@guaseli Thanks mate!

[Ry42Back]
