Uriah Duffy- Dirty Loops Justin Bieber "Baby" Full Bassline.

[Update: I just found my first video try of this. I didn't know some of the licks yet and didn't learn the whole solo, but for some reason I like it better than this one here. Take a look: http://bit.ly/wJW9YB]

Thanks Henrik for whoopin' my ass with this one! Mad props to you bro!

Here's a new one for all my YouTube fans out there. Thanks!

Dirty loops is a great trio from Sweden. They recently hit it big on the YouTube with their cover of Justin Bieber's "Baby", among other tunes. Here I go pushing the boundaries of bass playing trying to figure out just where bassist Henrik is coming from. It's a very cool place indeed. :-)

The performance here is not perfect. It's one of those things that if you keep practicing it, one can get closer and closer to perfection. My goal here was to learn it just enough to enjoy this style of playing. I would've never come up with most of these licks! I don't even play 6-string (which made muting dead strings really fun)! Not to take anything away from Henrik's genius here, but I doubt that their recording was played in one shot- there are some impossible position changes in there (I really try my best with attempting them: quick chord at 0:27, lick at 0:43, jumping to the lower chords at 2:18, getting to the next two licks is hard as well). None the less, this was one of the most difficult pieces I've ever transcribed and I thank them for enlightening me with it!

Technical Info: All 6-string basses sound kinda like Donald Duck to me- punchy-mid-rangy. I was able to get a similar sound to Henrik here without much trouble with my own 6'er. I do play a bit harder and go for fret noise, but the tone is still comparable. Signal chain: Moon 6-string bass into a TC. Electronics Impact Twin; no plug-in's or processing. Logic Pro and Adobe Premier.

man. that's superb playing. . and oh, that moon bass sounds like a smith :D

[udawggy]

@slapbassforthewin Which is why I sold the Smith 6 I had for a minute! The Moon is great and I love it, considering I don't particularly like or play 6's

Isn't 1:07 harmonics?? Sounds like it :/

Awesome cover cover!!

P.S. Tags still on your hat ;)

[udawggy]

@rob101abc Yes- Pinch Harmonics to be exact. I love them- so tender. But for some reason they are really hard to ring out on this bass, so I left 'em as chords. :-)
