sorry @TNKA36 I’ve had some technical difficulties and also a BIG lack of time, so I’m one week late to listen to your cover.
very nice and appropriate bass tone, as always. the only thing is that your timing tends to be a bit early. it’s easy to figure out, for exemple during the intro before the singing begins. anyway, good cover overall !
I’m not sure it’s a sync issue, to me it seems more like a slightly floating timing. don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s horrible just trying to point out something to improve your playing
Here is my first cover with a 5-string. Not perfect, but made it through. A few blips and issues with plucking consistency, but happy enough to move on. Constantine did this cover a few weeks ago and I thought it was a good place to start with that extra B string. THe original track was a synth bass, so turned up the gain to try to get that sound. Bass removed from track as best I could. Went straight into the Focusrite, TRBX305, 70/30ish neck/bridge, bass rolled up a hair, trebble back a hair.
Constructive critiquing is very welcome.
I remember looking at albums in Caldor’s (old school department store in the northeast) and seeing the first Culture Club album and thinking “Who is that, she’s kinda cute”?
Hi John, @John_E,
You did a great job on the 5ver, nice tone and some smooth work getting around the fretboard.
Con’s stuff is really very good to use as he does great transcripts, and you can watch and learn his playing style.
I have done a few of his as well, Seasons in the sun, you belong to the city, angel of harlem, just to name a few.
Cheers Brian
@JerryP I’m glad you’re enjoying Reaper! You did a nice job on this cover, stayed right in the groove did it justice. I only wish you’d have cranked up the bass a bit more. Have you discovered the Volume Envelope in Reaper yet?
P.S. It’s so nice to see people continuing to post in the Post your Covers thread, despite the distraction of that first 50 songs contest that’s going on.
You know, on my first take I thought the bass was too loud so I mixed it down. Not being at home where I have my studio monitors to listen to, it’s harder to get the right mix. I might re-post with the first take.
Thanks for your input.
OK, Let’s try this again. I re-mixed the audio as per @PamPurrs recommendation.
This is a favorite song of mine from the 80’s supergroup The Traveling Wilburys. I’m using my new Squire Classic Vibe 70’s, Scarlett 2i2 DAI and Reaper DAW. Hope you all like it.
Thanks @PamPurrs & @John_E! I might not have another cover on here for a while as I want to concentrate on a Talking Bass course I signed up for.
Thanks again.
After you print it out, take it to a local print shop or office supply and have it spiral bound. Those TalkingBass workbooks are so very handy for reference long after you’ve completed the course.
