AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long (Bass Cover)

[Jotaeferey]

i love your bass :)

[DanSids1988]

Cliff Williams must crack up at the amount of money he gets paid to just stand there and play simple bass songs

[TheStudioSEB]

@DanSids1988 Some of their songs are really hard to play on bass.

[stefanpekel2]

this bass cover shook me all night long.

[GuitarGuyandDrumDude]

cool cover!

could it be, that krist novoselic played the same bass once?

[thunzie]

@GuitarGuyandDrumDude Mark Evans, the AC/DC bassist before Cliff Williams also played the same bass, a Gibson Ripper before he switched to the Fender Precision.

[NachoBorracho]

@GuitarGuyandDrumDude Yes, a black Gibson Ripper i think.

[Orangemongoose1]

I hate playing ACDC songs on bass the correct way, I always just improve :) you should try it, you look bored as hell

[GuitarGuyandDrumDude]

@Orangemongoose1 you´re so right, man! :-D

[bankaibuddy15]

GRABBER!!

[steikarloka]

You're playing the right notes but could definitely improve your groove. 

[nikor1996]

This fucking video is a shit

[NvmDaBollocks]

@senicadoo it seems to be Gibson Ripper

[nuke97]

@craigrjanssen I think u might be out of tune.

[senicadoo]

Is this a music man bass?

[Dragonshouter]

@senicadoo It's a Gibson, if you look on the head it says Gibson, but it does look like a Music Man Stingray abit

[wwww136]

COOL

[Scotto91]

RESPECT THE RUSH!!!!!! :]]

[TheLolledproductions]

v. nice

[metalfanatic01]

nice gibson grabber bass and gr8 cover wats the tabs from 2:23 to 2:37

[bohsmb78]

@metalfanatic01

me too, tryin to work out that bit

[wweecwcollin]

its funny i never notice bass on ACDC songs.

[xlostxmemoryx01x]

@wweecwcollin I notice the bass in everything :)

[wweecwcollin]

@xlostxmemoryx01x i cant hear cuz of angus youngs playing i think

[JamleSalisbury]

Im a guitarist and a bass player, i found out that i love bass at jam sessions. but ill never stop playing guitar... ;)

[MJferlife]

Well Done!!

[Youthanasia225]

@hellojacobhitch4545 they just dont playu the bass in the first verse theres bass in the rest of the song

[basspros100]

play the lead in but googd job

[stingray614]

in my opinion, i think a flying V headsotck would finish this bass up. i just dont like this bass's headstock. it is really ugly lol. a tele headstock would do a decent finish there too. or perhaps some headstock like thunderbird's. but this headstock? boo!!

[RansakedBassist]

@stingray614 This bass is a Gibson Ripper. The Gibson Grabber is the exact same bass but it has a flying V headstock and I belive a different pickup. Watch any really old Green Day video and there bassist Mike uses a Grabber. Sorry if you already knew all of this but in case you didnt then you do now lol.

[stingray614]

@RansakedBassist the Grabber has the flying V headstock but this Ripper has that classic looking headstock, is it? =S

[RansakedBassist]

@stingray614 lol yea. This is a Gibson Ripper. Watch the videos for Longview or Basket Case by Green Day. That bass in those videos is a Grabber and has the V headstock. (I know I reference Green day alot but they are my favorite band lol and I cant think of any better examples off hand)

[LonelyIslandtrip]

yeahhhhh GibsonXD

[shitshit75]

Guitar players are a dime a dozen bass players are hard to find im a bass player as well

[Timepeice45]

AWESOME DUDE!, Is that a Gibson Grabber?

[colinw330]

[Zdogg876]

[EvenHummROCKS]

[THEACDCROCKER]

Is it a gibson?

[CoDonPC]

@THEACDCROCKER Yes it is..

[THEACDCROCKER]

I've looked around a little bit, it's many famous bass players who use that bass, I'm sure it's a good bass, where did you get it? It sounds amazing, I'm thinking of buying one, how much did it cost?

[CoDonPC]

Note that this is not my video, and i do not own this bass.. Maybe you should check the Gibson website. Prices are from around $300 upto over $3000

[THEACDCROCKER]

Okey, okey, thanks anyway!

[THEACDCROCKER]

I think your a good bassist, yeah. It sounds awesome and everything, but. God, thats a ugly bass god damit, where did you get it and what it is called?

No offense!

[sijamaa]

wow..gibson..looks cool..:D

[pumpzaza]

A Gibson bass!

[CommBreakDown]

anybody else hear this thing is not Intonated properly ? lol or not tuned right

[bigbobdfg]

[diximon]

[PenguinThug]

DUDE! is that the ripper??!?!

I am SO jealous!

[Docas633]

you start tooo late

[TheSneakyScotsman]

No he doesn't you idiot.

[maverickinthere]

your ignorant docas633

[shredVgibson]

sounds great my friend said i should play bass as well as guitar is it fun ? hard?

[Dannywills666]

its hard at first, but once you have the basics, really its really easy

[5jungle5]

ma per caso hai il baSSO scordato

[Astartes40000]

what company makes the ripper? I don't think I've seen on the gibson website but I can see "gibson" on the headstock

really good cover,I'm just starting out on bass so I'm trying to learn whatever I like,and I like this :)

[shephardjacdc]

NICE RIPPER!

[bigbobdfg]

i play bass and agree its very important but bands have made it without them the white stripes were awesome and they didnt have one but then again jacks a great guitarist

[brenz94]

this has got to be the most simplest song to learn on bass it took me like 10mins to learn the whole thing!

[superpheonixfire]

TNT =P

[mediversity]

AWSOME DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[craigrjanssen]

Listen to the record closely, they do play the bass line during the second verse.

[Musicanelsangue92]

I'm doing this song..

I do much more notes during the song..

I don't know..I think that my version could be better..

However..good job ;-)

[paqone420]

You must of pissed off your bassist and have a bitter taste in your mouth considering you've yet to find another..thats only speculation into your comment that you think music can be made without a bass. Blood Red Shoes? Riddle me this name a band that went platinum and didnt have a bass player. In the mean time read a book on music or attend MIT and major in music theroy. WOW!

[pps234]

if i was cliff williams i would be realy happ imean there a huge ass band or were but still ive only been playing about a week getting better but have a long way to go :D

[giuseg94]

niente male............

[310avila]

not bad... really good

[manelmendes]

i love AC/DC, but i pity Cliff Williams. being bassist for AC/DC must be rather dull

[ax3lit0]

je esta chida tu video

[therockduderocks]

this is why its better to play lead or rythme guitar you get more fame more girls and you play more rock and roll

[NookieGuitar]

what a prick...

[therockduderocks]

its true when you think off Guns N' Roses do you think of slash of duff? be honest

[mikedefoe]

It's true...ppl will name slash before duff...but with out duffs bass playing, which you can pick out instantly in any GnR song....they would sound BAD....and im a huge GnR fan

[Arcenicum]

Name all bassists you know and all guitarist you know.

Which instrument would make you more famous?

[ticialch]

i say JACO PASTORIUS and i said EVERYTHING

[therockduderocks]

i only duff from Gn'R as a bassist even the one armed drummer from def leppard is more famous that the bassisst for def leppard

[ticialch]

oh my god...try to play bass and you'll realize it is a looooong way cooler than guitar.....everyone plays guitar...and there's nothing rocker than a bass

[Arcenicum]

Being a guitar player I have to defend the guitar.

Bass can be way cooler than guitar in funk music. Average funk has awesome (slap-) bass in it, which is way better than any guitar you've ever heard in funk music.

But outside from funk, bass is more to accompany the guitar, it doesn't have a real own melody (some exceptions like RHCP). I'm more a hardrock/metal man, and in those genres the guitar is way more important than the bass.

But for good music you need guitar AND bass.

[ticialch]

that's the point!!!! for GOOD MUSIC you must have both bass and guitar...sorry but i really can't stand people who say bass isn't important and look down on it...i mean, what would you do without bass??? being a bass player, i have to defend bass ;-)...anyway, i didn't want to say i don't like guitar, because there are stunning solos, but i don't like people who venerate guitar as if it was the only instrument on earth...!

[Arcenicum]

Electric guitar is the coolest instrument to me, but on it's own an electric guitar is nothing, it's just a part of a band. Bass has that even more.

A rockband must at least have vocals, a guitar and drums. To fill some gabs you should have bass, an extra guitar and (sometimes) keyboard.

I know rock bands without bass (try: Blood Red Shoes), but a lack of bass leaves gaps, BRS can fill that gap with two vocals.

In that band bass is not a "must".

[ticialch]

well, clearly we have different points of view, but let me tell you that i would never listen to a band without bass...all the power and the solid structure of the song would be missing, to me

[kps142]

Dude I'm a guitarist and a bassist and I have to say that

Obviously the guitar is noticed a lot more but any MUSICIAN will tell you the bass is an essential instrument.

the wall of sound that you need to sound like a tight band absolutely requires a bass. A good rhythm section with just a drummer and a bassist gives the guitarist freedom to use his intrument to accent sections of the song a little more than just plain old rhythm playing.

[MaverickJack21]

Dude holy crap...u just spoke my mind..but put it into words for me. I agree, i am a new bass player and my friends are tryin to avert me from playin bass, but u have strived me to keep goin!!!! Thanks

[kps142]

I'm glad , I've played both guitar and bass for a while now. Most of the time bass is more fun, besides having spent a lot of hard earned money on equipment, i'll be the first to tell you being a bassist is a lot more economical too.

[mysterioman23]

@ticialch Both are cool. I play guitar but I want to take bass too. But hey everyone has an opinion on what is cooler.

[juanhoppus182]

@ticialch dude, you are so fucking right... i have the same thinking and i was going to start bass lessons but im having a bad time at school, so my parents wont let me start bass until i pass all my exams with good marks :@

[ticialch]

@juanhoppus182 too bad :-(( ...education is important, though. try to concentrate on your studies, and when you get better, you can tell your parents you will practice in the evening, after finishing your homework! (you can start as a self-taught, and then improve your tecnique by taking lessons)...by the way, i'm a girl ;-)))) \m/

[juanhoppus182]

@ticialch yeah, you are right lol... thanks a lot =D

[ICantDoShit]

hahhhhhhh

try playing in a band without bass.

[ticialch]

more girls??? MORE GIRLS??? that's what you play for???

[therockduderocks]

thats alot of comments from my one comment

[retyu33]

great cover please check out mine cover of the great ac dc song

[obzcl857]

and when you think off IRON MAIDEN what do you think??? STEVE HARRIS...

[ticialch]

yeeeeah!

[nikolas99t]

you're thinking of steve harris not because he is tha bassist but because he founded the band... plus when i listen iron maiden i have janick gers 's image in my head

[THEACDCROCKER]

pause at 1:59, the "fuck you" finger

[THEACDCROCKER]

why don't you play in the beginning

[KoHKersch]

there is no bass in the original song

[settlefornothing94]

pause it at 1:52 and look at his fretting hand

[Raybob95]

Why?

[ffox1994]

Do You Have The Tabs For This Song?

If You Do Can I Have Them Please. =]

[pdbordelon]

you rock

[sarcogram720]

i love the ripper!! i wish they'd make them again!! Gene Simmons used a Ripper on KISS Alive!!

[amm061]

great cover. RUSH FOR EVER!!! know any rush covers?

[TrelosBassistas]

nice cover m8:) well done:) is there any chance u sent me the tabs plx?:)

[robimae]

Gracias. Me ha resultado muy útil.

[eric0darcy]

good job but, a "rush" shirt for an "ac/dc" song?

[craigrjanssen]

Eh, just whatever I had on at the time. I don't try to coordinate wardrobe or anything ;)

[calerbass]

good cover +++

[dillydew3]

I did a bass cover of this song!!! Check mine out!

[BassDude50000]

nice shirt. nice song. u rock

[margaretrogers1]

yeah Rush!!

[dudasauruos]

Holy Crap! You are so awesome at the bass it isn't even funny. I especially like "Livin' on a Prayer" Gotta admit, I'm a HUGE fan. I'm the bassist for my band. :)

Peace

[craigrjanssen]

Roundwound GHS Boomers, usually.

[whitereggae]

fucking turtle

[craigrjanssen]

Hey, thanks! (I think? I'm not familiar with that slang ;)

[envika]

nice job restringing with the silk ends hanging over the nut...i assume you tried to string flatwounds through the body? that is one of the failures of modern flatwound design... haha great playing though and nice bass as well

[craigrjanssen]

Oh I have no idea. I use roundwound strings, and I was told I needed extra long strings for this bass, so that's what I got. it sounds fine to me and it stays in tune, so I guess I didn't know I was doing it wrong. Oh well.

[craigrjanssen]

Thanks!  I've been playing for probably 7-8 years now, it's mainly just a casual hobby.

[hoochiekoo94]

ah, nice sounds perfect.

you make the easiest songs sound difficult. :)

[craigrjanssen]

well, I don't mean to make it sound hard, but I do like to mix it up a bit, add my own touches, and try to make bass lines a little more melodic than percussive. That's just my taste. Thanks for watching!

[feedmegrease]

AC/DC songs ARE difficult. It's like learning 8th notes all over again, because it is. You could set a watch to their rhythm section.

[DionSlayerDion]

finally someone who plays it right an doesnt play the begin part :D

[craigrjanssen]

Hah, thanks!  People that play through the beginning are missing one of the AC/DC trademarks, an opening guitar lick and the bass rumbles in right before the refrain stars for the first time.

[JokerBassist08]

Awesome vid. I do the chorus ending differently, but I'm going to switch to yours, I like it better.

[craigrjanssen]

Hey, thanks! Always glad to hear someone picking up something new to try. Good luck!
