Thank you Joe! Only another week here in NJ and I’m off again.
Nicely done @Al1885…. Great style, and love the tones!! Might have to turn one of my basses into a fretless one of these days…
Thank you John!
Thank you Lanny! Your comments are always well appreciated !
Great job, @JerryP — very relaxed but right on the beat, with nice tone. I’ve been working on this song for a while myself, and it is a lot of fun to play. And as usual, playing McCartney bass lines is a mini-clinic in how to construct bass lines.
Thanks David. I’m working on another Beatles/Hofner tune that I hope I’ll get done before I leave next week.
This sounds awesome. I love the songs. You are in the pocket the whole time and that’s a lot of notes. Great job @JerryP
Ok my next one. Smooth jazz version of how deep is your love. Please enjoy
Thanks. Here’s the next one. It took a while to load.
Great cover @JerryP . I dislike the Beatles with a passion but your playing made the cover more than bearable
And @Al1885 , very cool all round and you really aren’t helping my fretless gas posting these tunes Repeat after me……… I do not need a fretless bass……I do not need a fretless bass
Why not? It’s totally fun to fool around on a Fretless. Plus the unlined ones are so unforgiving it kicks your ass even on the easy songs. Once you get the hang of it it’s really is fun.
Since I’m in a Fretless mood I’ll put up the next one on a Fretless too. Lol.
In all seriousness, it’s a great learning tool and you don’t have to be an advanced player to be good at it. It’s like driving a manual. Really!
I’m really trying not to add to my bass collection at the moment @Al1885 and I don’t know if I’m really at a stage where I’d be good enough to make myself happy with my playing.
Very nice playing on both covers @Al1885 ,
Great tone from the bass, worked really nicely in the mix,
Cheers Brian
Great work again! The hofner has a really nice round sound - is it with the bridge pickup off?
Hey I’m not a big MJ fan (not since the Billie Jean lesson anyway) but that sounds really sweet. I’m going down the shop tomorrow to try out some fretlesses
Thanks Ed!
Yes, the bridge pickup is off. Same settings as McCartney used. The signal path was Hofner to Zoom B1 with a patch that is just a compressor and slight reverb into a Rumble 100 all controls at 50%, into Scarlett 2i2 into Reaper with no effects.
