Muse- 'Helsinki Jam' drum and bass cover

A cover of the drum and bass jam known as 'Helsinki Jam'. For me this was is of the highlights of the recent tour, i saw it twice (once with some bagpipes at Glasgow :p) and really brings out Chris and Dom's amazing co-ordination and musicianship in the rythm section. The fact that it's an unexpected moment in the set really shocks you too! This particular version is from Sheffiled Arena (4/11/09).

Chris normally plays this in standard tuning with a lower octave setting. I haven't really figured out octave settings yet on my GT-10B so i've downtuned to DGDG and added some fuzz. There's the odd mistake here and there, but enjoy and thanks for watching! :D

Awesome man this is the exactly thing I do. DGDG and big muff all the way

@Zip2461996 Best way to go about it i reckon. To me it feels slightly more comfortable than using an octave pedal. Cheers for the comment!

That... is one fine looking bass

@bramster14 Thanks! :D

@sonofdeacon No problem dude, instead of stretching for that high G better tune down the A :P

@FinnishBassBoy Thanks! Yeah the red model looks fantastic! Great basses :)

[FinnishBassBoy]

@sonofdeacon I have the same one but in red, fantastic basses they are! Great playing!

Not too bad, you should work with hammer-on pull-offs more to get the actual speed, rather than plucking it all. Nice sound though :)
