Cave Bass Cover

Thought I'd put one more up before heading back to uni. This is Cave by Muse, a classic bassline off their debut album Showbiz.

My first Muse cover for a while - hopefully it'll stay up here, though not if the lawyers at Warner have their say (see my Supermassive cover).

Thanks for watching, all comments, queries and song requests much appreciated as always.

good job. was thinkin bout gettin this bass. how do you like it? how well does it stay in tune? how do you feel about the heavy neck?

[Benphase2]

Basically it's a fantastic bass, never had any problems with tuning, looks awesome etc. The only problem is the neckdive caused by the heavy neck, I fixed it by drilling a new strap button behind the neck but some people don't bother. Only an issue if you like to play standing up.

Also, does neck dive mess you up when your playing (like fall and misposition you fingers)? or is it more of an issue with fatigue? if your really strong it shouldn't even be an issue, right?

[Benphase2]

Not sure about that, basically you have to hold the neck up with your left hand constantly, meaning it's very difficult to move around the fingerboard. It also strains your shoulder, but that's less of a problem.

Wow so you have had a couple of your videos taken down? I've been hearing lots of reports or this! Anyway nice cover on this song! Great playing!

Thanks mate, I'm gonna keep uploading in defiance of youtube's draconian rules...

@Benphase2 if you reposition the strap button and put it a little bit higher on the guitar, then it should prevent the neck dives. or just use a real thick strap
