Queens of the Stone Age - Sick Sick Sick [Bass Guitar Cover in C]

Great QOTSA song from the album Era Vulgaris (2007). Dropped tuning (C-F-Bb-Eb).

Played on an Epiphone Thunderbird IV Bass, through a Zoom 506 ii multi effects bass pedal, plugged straight into my computer. I used Audactiy (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) to record the live audio, and VideoSpin (www.videospin.com) to edit the video from my camera. Both free tools and easy to use!

Thanks for your feedback! Sorry I didn't use tab on this one - just learnt by watching QOTSA vids on YouTube! Its simple enough - only 3 notes in the whole song on bass! Main riff is 2 notes on the 12th fret, and 2 notes open string. Chorus just adds 14th fret. I'll listen again for the wicked chorus part ;-) If you can, stick up a video as a response to this and I'll check it out :-)

this song is pretty cool but the bass notes in GuitarHero Van Halen give my hands something to think about....OUCH

@ZombieSlayer93 it's down tuned, not up, the low E is down 2 steps, everything is down 2 steps

@tillimion So what if he uses a pick? A true bassist uses whatever he needs to use, pick or fingers or something else. it's about the sound, bro.

[ZombieSlayer93]

Surely tuning a regular bass like that to C would just completely damage it??
