U2 New Year's Day Bass with Geddy Lee Fender Jazz, Ampeg, Sansamp RBI

[1960ClassicRocker]

GREAT......Now Teach Us How To PLAY IT.

[Dodgyasdf]

come on dude. wear your bass higher. make it strangle you. that's what i do. :D lol jk but its cool to see someone else wear their bass above their belt.

[blah114a]

@Dodgyasdf I wear it lower nowadays.. and I never use this bass, either.. the Jazz.. it's way too thin..

[Dodgyasdf]

@blah114a i know what you mean. i had a lower end spector for about 2 or 3 years and didn't dig the sound. so i got a MIM jazz bass and it sounds awesome. it just physically feels like a toy.

[Despiser25]

Sounds ok but if you would play right it would sound better. Lose the extra notes.

Very nice, I need to learn this song myself. You said something in a response awhile back: "I hear different notes at times". Don`t even worry about it, the same thing happens to most other players (me too!) when trying to learn a song. You can watch 10 different covers of the same song and get 10 variations. Nice job regardless, man.

[blah114a]

tks for the thoughtful reply.. thanks for reading my responses also.

[kaosspad1988]

maybe in band this sound make aud feel lack of middle and over power of bass

[colmtrim]

I LIKE IT,,,,,SOUNDS GOOD

[blah114a]

thanks

[croblesky]

man that bass sounds good for the song

[blah114a]

Thanks.. interestingly, some other guy thinks I should play a precision for this song.. I agree, but cannot afford to buy a Precision for just this one song.. thanks!

[croblesky]

yeah. Precision has the right sound to it, but unfortunately its not the cheapest of basses

[Adamclayton1]

not far from it but in the main riff, there are some notes missing

[blah114a]

let me know.. I hear different notes at times.. also, I think Adam himself might play this differently at times. Not sure. Great song.

[Adamclayton1]

live, he plays it a bit differently but in studio on war or the best of, he plays the samething during the verses.

[blah114a]

tks

[KurbeeKuthroat]

great job man. LOVE this bass line, one of my favs and i'm not really a u2 fan to begin with.

[blah114a]

U2, I think, has one of the best guitarists in the history of "electric guitar.." I get far more from him (The Edge) than other guitarists.. and the bass line from Three Sunrises is mesmerizing.. I need to add that on here when I finally learn to play that.

Thanks!
