Yeah no way can I cover that. First off, can’t pull off the vocals. And then there’s the fact that that is actually a stealth S-tier bassline.

Your challenge sir…
I really want to name my next band The Seasick Crocodiles now…

Quick cover of The Ventures: Walk, Don’t Run with my Gretsch Junior Jet (not selling it as of yet). The song only had 3 discrete tracks on it–the bass was mixed on the same track as guitar, so I couldn’t knock out the bass in Moises.ai…a few occasions of being a millisecond behind. And yes, I see from the video that I am not reaching far enough to fret the C properly.
Another tidbit…this is the first song I completely transcribed myself with no tabs. Song itself is pretty straightforward. The Junior Jet really gives me that nice upright-style THUMP that I can’t really replicate on my p-bass.

Good job on the transcription! It sounds pretty spot on to me 
Nice bass too. Is it a hollow body?

Great job @Old_WannaBe ! The Ventures songs are fun to play. I recently cover three songs a couple of months ago.

No, but the junior jet does resonate like crazy.

That would be a cool band name.
I’ll have to take a good listen and see what happens!

That was great! It’s fun to get that first song in without tabs, it opens doors to so many possibilities.

Great playing @Old_WannaBe
Something does sound a bit off to me on a few notes every so often.
Maybe one of those ‘old tune tuning issues’, but really well done man!

Nice cover. I just punched Walk Don’t Run into Chordify. It works by listening to the song and creating a chord chart using magic software I don’t understand. It gives a pop up window to say if the original tuning is off.
In this case it says tune to 450Hz so that might be what @John_E is hearing. I can’t because my hearing is rubbish so it sounded mint

I’ve never heard of them and I’m now on a Oingo Boingo deep dive @Paul_9207. That sounded fab and the bass was at what I think the perfect mix.

have no clue what that means… the whole thing is a little sharp or flat?

440Hz is just the frequency for the note A. Most tuners set at 440Hz so the bass, guitar etc are all tuned the same. So 450Hz would be sharp I think?
On your tuner somewhere there should be the ability to change the setting from 440Hz to a different frequency. So set the tuner to 450Hz and tune all the strings as normal and you’ll sound ‘in tune’ with the record.
I think that’s right. But others with way more experience might be able to explain better.

Their song called Stay is one that people seem to be more familiar with, if it helps.
