Not to take away from Laurent’s achievements, of course

I think that the bands the most prone to leave such comments meet those criteria :
- The band is not very big, so there will not be a ton of covers
- The album is recent, so the covers will be rare (often unique) and the band have more chances to see every new cover when it pops
- The album is not on a big label with heavy copyright rules, so the artists will be happy to see that someone share their music
but obviously I don’t choose the songs for these reasons. I just do the covers I want, and sometimes I like to choose small or less known bands to make something original and to have the opportunity to share their music.
the comments from the band are just a bonus, not a goal

So, I guess I shouldn’t be expecting any accolades from Queen?

A happy new cover year to you all
This thread has been created during the 2019 summer. So, 2020 is the first full year of this thread. In an impressive collective effort, we recorded a total of 164 covers this year. That’s roughly equivalent to 14 LP albums. That’s truely incredible.
Also the level is really much higher than what I expected when I created the thread. I can’t say how much I’m happy and proud of you all. An impressive collective work from an impressive community of badass bass players all around the world.

A last word to thank @JoshFossgreen and @Gio and all the team, not only for the B2B course but also because BassBuzz is what connects us all ! isn’t it incredible that bass players worldwide can talk, get some help, share their work, make progress together … even when a giant pandemic locks people at home ? it’s too cool !
I love you

Thanks for making that list @terb. @eric.kiser and I have been discussing making an index of all the covers, and you have given us a head start.
Also, I can’t help but notice that my name doesn’t appear until towards the bottom of the list. That’s because I lurked for nearly a year before finally garnering the courage to post a cover. In the last quarter of 2020, I posted five creations, and hope to post many more in 2021.
Thank you again @terb (Terbinator) for creating that thread and posting so many great covers. I truly believe it is, and will continue to be the most popular thread on the forum.
Happy new year!
Pam

Great job Laurent @terb,
It is impressive when I look through all the covers posted “WOW”
Great work Bass Buzz Forum members, we all deserve a pat on the back👍
The enthusiasm and willingness for everyone on the forum to share so much of themselves over this really difficult year is something that we can all be proud of😎
Can’t wait to see how much we improve in 2021😁
Keep on rockin
Cheers Brian

Wow, that is one impressive list, Laurent! Congrats on one of the absolute highlight threads in here 
And there are some covers that I must have missed… time to go back and re-visit them.
Two small corrections: for peterhuppertz, I am almost 100% sure the band is called “Tristan”. For my cover of “So Far Away”, the artist is Carole King, not Carole Kaye - I had made that Freudian slip in the video and never fixed that, but it was Carole King who wrote the song
And thanks for including my tongue-in-cheek flash covers
Now, let’s crack that 164 record for 2021!!

Olde Crow - Take It
This is a very recent release (December 19th 2020). The album is named Masquerade, and is what I would call some kind of wild doom/sludge metal. I play more or less the original bass line.
Played with the Plywood Bass Of Doom, tuned in BEAD (I think that the original song may probably be played in Drop-C). Modded Boss ODB-3, Line 6 Bass POD Pro.
This is the first record with the new MEC pickup, and I must say that I really like this one. It keeps a very good definition even with the low tuning and the overdrive with a relatively high gain setting, that’s quite impressive and that’s obviously a huge upgrade from the stock 90’s Jim Harley pickup. Those german MEC pickups are probably hard to find wordlwide, but still highly recommended !
