Great covers gentlemen!
@John_E . Timing was spot on and I liked the tone on all the covers. SRV really stood out for me but it is a personal favourite.
@Ed . Most groovy baby. Always interesting to hear strange stuff from other countries and I really approve of the shirt.
@dlamson13 . Well played sir. Not a LZ fan but you certainly did the song justice.
@Barney . Good to see you back and firing on all 4 cylinders! Great cover.
@Vegaswizzle . I officially hate you Very talented cover which is well beyond my ability.
And last but by no means least, @Korrigan . Playing and singing! Cool

Love it @Korrigan
I think you did great.
And you did two things I can’t, sing while playing and playing chords / like a guitar.
Sometimes rhythm can be whatever you want it to be.

Inspired by @JoshFossgreen’s excellent BassBuzz video 10 Songs that Taught Me Bass (Easy to Effin’ Hard) I decided to give Ray Charles a go. Only 4 notes, but man what 4 beautiful notes they are 
Still slowly recovering from my injury but this was a fun one to do.
HX Stomp:
Amp - MESA/Boogie® Bass 400+ (channel 1)
Cab - 2x15" MESA/Boogie® 2x15 EV
Comp - Teletronix® LA-2A®
Fender MIM P Bass
GHS Precision Flats

Great job @Barney
4 very funky notes indeed
Your timing was really good.
This would be a good song to learn on your upright @PamPurrs

My compliments to everyone who’s made the effort to record and post a cover during the past few months while I’ve been down. I wish I had the energy to listen to and comment on each one individually, but kudos to all of you.
It’s been nearly 6 months since I posted my last cover, but I shall return some day once I beat this dreadful disease.
P.S. I’ll try to do a better job keeping up with this thread.

man, that would be more expensive for real than with an HX Stomp
otherwise that’s a nice cover @Barney, I really like your use of transition notes.

ha ha @terb you’re not wrong. This is a list of just the Bass amp sims in the Stomp. If I bought them all as real amps it would be thousands and thousands of dollars!
I now record the song multiple times in Garage band; I allocate a different amp for separate track. So I might record the song 8 times with 8 different amps. I then sit back and listen to which one sounds best to serve the style of the song. It’s a slow process but I feel I’m learning as I go.
Thanks for the kind comments. I really enjoyed the B2B course and having a constructive, supportive outlet to post my slow but continual improvement is really important.
At the risk of beating a dead horse. Learn songs and record yourself; for me it’s the best measure of how I’m improving on bass

Alright @John_E , I wasn’t sure about posting this one, it’s a Dominican rhythm called bachata, traditionally the bass plays R-5th, although lately some guys are adding more stuff, even slapping…. Anyways, this is my first full song outside de 50 challenge, one of the things that I like about the bass is that it goes well on all sorts of genres, so here it’s this thread’s first bachata

Nice tone from your Bass @Reo,
Nothing wrong with roots and 5ths, just shows keep it simple and it will fit in with just about anything, again it’s whatever works.
Nice getting around the fretboard.

Good job @Reo I’ve never been 100% into latin music but I can dig this . I think your bass would benefit from a bit more volume but the playing is spot on

Good job @Reo! You have progressed quite well!
I love that cream color on your bass. A tort pickguard on it would send it over the top!

Great playing on this, right on time. I really like the song too, has a ripping guitar solo – kind of sounds a little like Mark Knopfler
