Heart of the Sunrise - Yes Cover (Rickenbacker 4001 Bass)

"Heart of the Sunrise"
A cover from the 1972 album "Fragile", which was the 4th album from Yes, and probably the most popular album ever from this band.

The musical texture of this song almost killed me! I'm not kidding. The various speeds and arrangements, plus the changes from 3/4 time to 4/4, and even 6/8 and a quirky 5/8 time proved to be most challenging. Boy, I'll tell you what!

I WANTED THIS ONE BAD!

I hope you like the "Hi-Tech" slide show in the middle. I worked hard on it! :P
Enjoy!
Peace~

@fatherg101: I did nothing to mine. There is some fretbuzz as a result of downtuning, but I will not risk breaking my truss rods for that!

[fatherg101]

@motorpsych0 I've heard of people having trouble down tuning on 4001's just recently got me a 1976 fireglo. and prefer lower tuning, but i also don;t want to damage the bass. any tips on downtuning a rick?

@Cradley51 you're lame.

@Painkill3r4 : I am running a set set of cheapo GHS Bass Boomers here. Wow, your project RIC sounds great!

[Painkill3r4]

Great tone, great song and excellent cover! Do you use Rotosound round wounds by any chance?

I've been playing Rics since 1973 and just bought my second one -- a 4001 that I'm having refinished in Walnut with crushed pearl inlays, checkered binding, and an aftermarket horsehoe bridge p/u. Has a toaster neck p/u and wavy Grovers already. Gotta love Rickenbackers. Nothing comes close to the sound. :)

if he was playing it on any other bass i would have disliked it
