I’m just back home and it seems that a new year has passed … so, time for the yearly counts !
In an amazing collective effort, we recorded 179 covers in 2021. That’s insane and that’s enough to beat the previous record (164 covers in 2020). A last number : at the time I’m writing this post, we recorded a total of 369 covers since the begining of this thread in 2019. How crazy is that ?!
As I already said, I listen to each and every cover posted on this thread. I’m seriously impressed seing the progress that were made by a lot of you fellow bass players, from your first records. You can be really proud of you. You rock and you’re all BADASS bass players for sure !
