COVER: The Smiths - Big Mouth Strikes Again - Bass and Ric 360/12

This bassline is so "darn" good it deserves to be heard on its own, so here you see me record the bass part first, then rewind and switch on a delay effect (sorry about the long pause there), and then pick up the glorious 1992 Rickenbacker 360/12 String with toasters, dude.

hey daniel did u add the toasters to your rick 360/12, or was it purchased that way? I have a 1994 rickie 360/12 but with high-gains...i'm considering swapping them out for toasters though..

@defendthelowend - the one in this video I got 2nd hand with toasters already on it. Personally I find the hi-gains on my 330 very flexible - by twiddling the knobs or with a bit of EQ or different amp settings you can get much the same sound as the toasters. There's no real need to change them in my opinion. Along with "which strings", "which capo", "which strap", "which plectrum", these are all things people worry about when they should be practising. :)

good job mate. what kind of precision bass is that? i love its sound and looks.

[danielearwicker]

@picinomundo - a very cheap Squire copy. The cheapest bass in the shop on the day I bought it. I tried a real Fender (price 10x more) and decided it wasn't as good as the Squire. But i never touched it again after getting a Ric 4003, so I've chucked it out.

Hey Daniel! you know i adore your stuff!

but how about a remake of this one?

do it like you did girlfriend in a coma or something!

keep it up mate!

[danielearwicker]

@Stevebanany - you may enjoy my collaboration with 325C58, I just added drums and a few more guitar tracks to an excellent version he'd already done, see related videos.

i am coming to the conclusion that Johnny Marr is a genius

[HaroldoMouraOliveira]

are you a sun off Jonny Marr ?

[ian850]

Very good mate, great bass sound. You guitar strumming looks so so telexed and natural, truly excellent video!

[TheStationable]

Your Johnny Marr aren't you? :3

My dad showed me this video when I first started bass, so so good.

[FriedGold8942]

After watching this over a hundred times, I still can't believe that this is just one 360 track. This song is yours now.

[syandgav]

perfect!

Nice paying

[picinomundo]

@danielearwicker cool. do you know what strings andy rourke used? I read something about rotosound but I don't know which ones. the swing 66 I suppose?
