The Enemy Within Bass Cover

"Is it living, or just existence?" The Enemy Within, Part 1 of the "Fear Trilogy" off of the Grace Under Pressure album. In celebration of my 50th RUSH cover I threw in something of my own (something I normally don't do) near the end of the song for anyone who might stick around long enough to hear it.

Love your videos. Great playing and tone. Makes me want to buy a Ric again. I've got the Geddy Jazz so...

My first "good" bass was a White 76 Ric. I was 13-14...over 30 years ago.

@SteveCOnTheTube

Thanks a lot. My first "good" bass was a Ric (Fireglow) as well. I was a little disappointed when I got it home and didn't sound just like Chris Squire though. I was in 9th grade and paid $425 brand new - for me it was a fortune back then.

takes a little more persistance to get up a nd go the distance.

[TJH3113]

@97iliketrains

Yes it does.

[BassWhiz92]

VERY Ska-ish lol

[TJH3113]

@BassWhiz92 A bit.

@RushALMM

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you've written. I'll try and have it translated.

[RushALMM]

Se eu tocasse 10% do que vc sabe, já me consideraria um grande baixista. Parabéns.

Thanks a lot. On a lot of his material it's important to strike a balance between how aggressively you play and how much you need to pull back or "relax". You need to play hard enough to try and get the feel and sound but If you "dig in" too much you risk choking and losing dexterity.

[woogie88888]

That is the best bass cover I have heard period. You play relaxed which is something that must be almost impossible to do on this song. I have seen Geddy do this live too and he is relaxed when he plays, the others I have seen here have struggled to keep up and the timing isn't exact. You have done a fantastic job here and this is coming from someone very critical of people covering the best and my favorite bass player. Take that as a BIG compliment.

@borowicz2

Do you mean that you tabbed it out from this video? It should be very close to the original except for the ad-lib at the end. Thanks.

[borowicz2]

Damn, I Tabbed out, and forgot this was a COVER. Great job, love your work.

@jicommon

Thank you very much.  That was very kind of you to say.

[jicommon]

When I discovered your channel, I felt like I hit the YouTube lottery. Your work at 409 is right on par with Geddy's most challenging stuff. Tremendous work.

[TJH3113]

@readinguni99

Thank you very much.

[readinguni99]

By far the best Rush covers on youtube...It amazes me how well you recreate the original bassline without being a slave to it. A joy to listen to!

[TJH3113]

@Nixx616

Thanks. I see you're into both RUSH and horror as well. Good for us!

[Nixx616]

Holy crap! 409 is mighty impressive sir!!!

[TJH3113]

@fboriani

I agree, it is a tough one. Thank you.
