21st Century Life by Sam Sparro (bass cover)

My interpretation of the awesome funk-style bass line in the song '21st Century Life' by Aussie artist Sam Sparro. Not really a fan of his music (just not my genre really), but the bass line in this song is by far one of the catchiest and most creative bass lines I've ever heard. I only cover the intro, first verse and chorus in this video, as the bass lines remain alike for the rest of the song. Sorry about my playing being kinda sloppy at the start, but it gets better after about 20 seconds into the song. I used the same bi-amped Eden rack/Yamaha BB605 combination in this video as I did in the Incubus cover posted prior to this. Really happy with the sound I'm getting using this setup. Enjoy all!

You sounds great, man! Are you running your signal straight into the computer or through a mic? and if it's a mic what kind?

[mattnessfreshness]

@Thatguy301 Thanks man! Nah no mic, bass straight into my Eden head with Flat EQ and then DI out to my soundcard. Thats it.

[drg92asturias]

are those the original pickups and preamp?

I have the same bass, but with 4 strings and I love it!!!

[mattnessfreshness]

Yeah stock electronics dude. It's actually the only bass I have that I chose not to change a thing on! One of a kind those early BB series I tell ya :)

[jasonserpent]

Not my song at all, but the way you play made me want to stick around. Really good work.

Keep it up!

[strunkadunk]

YOU.ARE.AWESOME!!!!! 

[OAbela]

awesome! do you reckon you could post a video or tab to show us how to play it like that? that's great :D

[Thatguy301]

@mattnessfreshness Cool, cool that's just how I run my setup for recording. I'm actually thinking about going with an Eden rig myself so I've got a few more questions: How loud can the WTX-500 get compared to other amps in it's size range and more importantly how loud can it get without clipping (either the light or actually hearing it)? Thanks a bunch.

tabs please?
