Post your covers! (2019-2022)

I fear a country overdose, so here is a little pause :grin:

Gouge Away - Wilt (I Won’t)

I really love this band, it’s pretty close to what I’d like to play in my next band. By the way, if you know some bands in the same style, I’m very interested. (@Gio maybe ?)

The bassline I play is the same than the one on the album. I like this line very much : it’s not complicated but works very well with the song, and brings a nice ground and structure to the composition, in my opinion.

A quick word about the tuning : from what I believe to see on live videos, I think the bass is tuned to Standard D# (D#G#C#F#). I can’t use this tuning with Greenie because of the light string gauge, so I’m playing the line tuned in Drop D (DADG) and so my fingering is different.

About the sound and technique, and in my tradition to use the covers to make various tests : it’s a test run of my “new” Line 6 Bass Floor POD. no external compression or overdrive pedal or anything, it’s only Greenie plugged directly into the Bass Floor POD, then straight into the DAI. you can see that the gain range is very large on this device : here it’s only set to 3,5 / 10 on the Ampeg SVT simulation ! which I find sounds more like an SVT-CL than a SVT-VR (and that’s perfectly fine for me). also I used a little bit of compression with the integrated “opto comp”, which seems to be very probably derived from the LA-2A simulation of the first Bass POD. and that’s pretty much it :slight_smile:

Overall the Bass Floor POD is more designed for live than studio use. For pure studio work, I prefer the rackmount Bass POD Pro and a bunch of carefully selected analog pedals. the DAC are better, there are way more sound shaping options and possibilitues, and it all feels just more … serious. Anyway the Bass Floor POD works very well and is totally suitable for recording (at least non-pro recording), in a very compact and comprehensive format. I really like the Bass Floor POD and I most certainly will use it for future rehersals, and possibly concerts.
