Griff, I thought your cover was awesome. I’m not usually into Christmas music, but I really like that version of the song. The bass line seemed straight forward and your sound quality was great. You and @PamPurrs set the bar when it comes to production. I wouldn’t have a clue how to do any of the edits you two do. Thanks for letting us take a listen to your hard work.

Nice laid back playing Bill, @Lanny
great production, adding the lyrics was a nice touch😀
If I had one criticism it would be that you didn’t have your full suit on😂
Cheers Brian

Hahaha Brian - @b.s.excavations… The “Typical Suit” I would be ‘not’ wearing out here in the middle of ‘nowhere’ IS NOT ONE that anyone would want to visualize in this cover…

@TNKA36 and @Lanny there’s a reason these are called “covers”… so we don’t see things we wish we hadn’t seen.

Shane - @Shane_Landen… We are all here to help each other. If there is ANYTHING that you have questions on when it comes to recording covers, there are a bunch of us here that are willing to help - we all help each other - that’s what we do… We are ALL beginners… When Laurent @terb started this thread, we were all going through B2B together and he believed that it would be a great tool to help us all progress - he was right on!! This thread has proven to pull some of the most limited of players out in the open with the rest of us who are all ‘still learning’ so that we can ALL move forward and learn and develop our skills. This is no “Race”… It is no “Competition”… It’s all about learning and developing our skills… We all try our damnedest to do the ‘best we can’, and that “Best” is always ‘One Step Away’… We keep on moving forward because THAT is what Josh @JoshFossgreen taught us all to do…
Keep on Thumpin’!

What can I say that has not already been said? I’m familiar with the Eagles version of the song and you performed a great rendition fit for the season. 
Great cover @Lanny Bill.

You are, of course, right, Lanny @Lanny, but @Shane_Landen got a point 
You guys are really setting the bar high, both with respect to the quality of your playing, how many covers you post and, not least, the awesome, production!! But, by upping the ante like that, we others can only follow, raise, or… fold! That’s a great motivator!!
Anyway, I blame it all on my day job 
Once I am retired, I will crank out awesome covers, hah!
Very nicely done, Lanny!!

Pixies - Where Is My Mind ?
This bass line is not very interesting and I’m not the biggest fan of Pixies, but I wanted to record this cover for my girlfriend who loves this song. I play the same bass line than on the record, but it’s originally played with a pick and I found I have a better feeling for this kinda depressive groove with my bare fingers. so, classic alternating plucking here.
Also I found that this song could be a good test ride for my “new” mid-70’s Grabber. it’s tuned in EADG, and recorded with the Bass POD Pro and my standard setting. I used the modded ODB-3 with a very light and transparent setting (flat EQ), to add just a little bit of grit.

Great cover and great tone Laurent @terb. I’m enjoying the plucking and how it does work well with this bass line… Not knowing the song, the very abrupt ending was quite the surprise…

Haha, the things we do for our SO’s 
But you are delivering like a pro 
I find this somewhat interesting given some of the other music you often share
