Damn @Ed you did fantastic here.
Your finger work is steller and I am very jealous.
All your practice clearly shows through and your not only playing it you look like you have mastered it.
Truth be told I hate this song, having had to endure it in high school when my friend was forming a band.
Assuming the dainty pinky in the air on your plucking hand is a nod/tribute to QEII and everything fancy and royal? 
(I have a tune I am working on with octaves and my middle finger wants to do the same thing).
Hey thanks @John_E 
I really should make the movements smaller for more speed but I get more grit this way 
Iām a bit worried all I do is hard rock but hey I thereās some good stuff there
Haha - I donāt know where I picked that up. Shows I got breeding though 
Thanks @JerryP ! Hours of practice and sacrifices to the god of bass playing, John Entwhistle. And tons of typing I guess
Hah thanks @EddieJones - I was a little sceptical at first but I think it worked 
. Itās no Jazz bass but itās more versatile than I thoughtā¦
I think the way you set the tone knobs really helped it get that old school 60ās Steppenwolf vibe. I will remember how you said you set it when I want to nail that vibe with humbuckers.
Oh and Daddario NY XL nickel roundwounds 
Great job @Ed ! I didnāt realize that line was so busy - you really had it down. Tone was great. Are you 3 finger plucking - or is your ring finger just following your middle finger?
Thanks @skydvr ! Iāve just got kind of a messy right hand - the third fingerās just following the middle finger, although Iād love to get a good three finger technique working
Oh go on - have a go in the shop if thereās one nearby. Just a little go
Iām working on it @Ed
Iāve just listed 4 basses and a combo amp on my missusās farcebook
Oh - for sale?
Yep
Love it @Ed! What a great performance. Sometimes I stare at my plucking fingers and try to will them to move that fast. Itās not just the speed though, timing is right on, and you play it with attitude man 
I play the same way. I see a lot of people curl the last two fingers up, but it feels more comfortable for me to let em fly.
I recorded another cover. Firstly, Iād like to apologize for the close up of my sweaty face. Also I wish I had turned the bass up a little more in the final mix. Overall I think Iām getting better at editing. Playing is also getting better. I have wanted to learn this song for a while now, but I would get overwhelmed. I finally just broke it down and studied the parts and it came together okay in the end.
The song is āDonāt Stay Homeā by 311
