Great cover @terb and the bass sounds really good. Got to confess my first thought was âterbs not using a pick this time !â but you soon sorted that out 
And thatâs a great first cover @MattHinchliffe.

After a 3 week hiatus those years working for Apple computers paid off and I was able to install a new SSD and repair my failed hard drive in my iMac. To test things out I recorded a cover of Tom Sawyer from Rush. It isnât perfect and after updating everything on my Mac in the last few days some of the programs changed so I added a filter to make me a cartoon primarily because without it I look like Sasquatch lol. Hope you guys and gals like the tune and enjoy.

Whoa! Definitely not an easy one. Could hear some of Geddyâs tone in there too, you did well with bass tone.
Loved the cel shading video effect too - I am a sucker for cel shaded graphics

Great cover @LesterH
I was a massive Rush fan in the early 80s and Geddy Lee was definitely a hero of mine.
Hearing you play this may well have reignited an old interest

Nice! Quite a challening one, too!
So, I need to ask again (knowing very well that there is another thread on this topic): how did you filter out the original bass line here? Did you EQ it out or are you using the RX8 approach? EQâing seems to work best if the bass is mostly within a certain frequency range, but, as is the case also here, when you often go up the neck and also have lots of higher pitched notes in the bass, how do you best do it??
Also: have you gotten that Ibby 6-string yet???

@Mac @TNKA36 and @JerryP thank you. I got my mistakes in there for sure but that comes with learning songs by ear sometimes. @joergkutter as for EQ I usually drop the bass the best I can with dropping frequencies in the EQ on the main track. However, with this track Geddy is all around the frequency range and it doesnât drop all the way so there is some Geddy in there. I also found a tone print setting to achieve some of that tone. As for the Ibby 6er I have one on order that should come by the end of the week I had to go with an SR version though because I dropped so much money fixing my iMac. I will get the one I want sometime later this year for sure though

@joergkutter when I get the six string I will post a little demo of it for you.
As for the tone and stuff in my video I get asked a lot about effects and such, I donât really use any effects for tone I set my TC Electronic amp to where it just about clips and then back it off a little. Then most of the tone rolls with how I EQ my bass and amp. For one part of the song I did use the over drive a little to grab that Geddy sound. I think for those who follow this thread and see these really amazing players producing top notch video productions etc. it can be motivational and it could be discouraging. I see people with all of these amazing basses and amps and they sound great look good but you know it is totally possible to grab good tone through something like what I am playing here (not that I am good or a pro) just a simple 100.00 pawn shop squire j bass and a simple 250.00 bass head. No effects pedals or other equipment. It is really cool to have such an amazing group of players to encourage one another and inspire others it truly is a wonderful group
