Thanks man @dlamson13 
Iām so metalled out after that last month I need to take a break 
but oh that was fun playing those tracks. It sometimes felt like riding a bike or a really fast horse for some reasonā¦

MM is close to my heart. Those songs are ultimate proof that simple basslines can sound stupid cool.

Yeah thatās often the case with industrial metal. Iāve done myself a cover of MM a few years ago.
I really like what Twiggy Ramirez did with MM. He composed most songs from Antichrist Superstar to Holy Wood.

Hereās my cover of āMy Kinda Loverā by Billy Squier. Just a feel good 80s tune with super fun fills. I had a lot of fun working this one out. I tried to get close to the record, as usual I sometimes take some liberties with it. Did a lot of takes, as it is a reach for me at this point. Not perfect, but happy with it. Thanks for listening

Thank you @Paul_9207 , @T_dub, @JerryP, @Mac, @John_E, and @Howard! Glad you liked it, one of my favorite things to do is revisit older songs that have cool bass lines I didnāt appreciate being ignorant of the power that is bass Now all I need is a time machine and a good head of hair so I can go back and rule the 80s
Thanks, took some work! I like learning from songs more than doing courses, wellā¦except for Joshās, so Iāve been counting on picking the right ones to figure out and improve with. Some end up being dead-ends Iām not ready for (āLa Villa Strangiatoā comes to mind). Others like this, are in just the right place to keep after.

Life has been crazy lately. I canāt believe itās December already. I only posted two covers in November. Hopefully I can do better than that this month, but the holidays are busy. I have some songs I want to cover, hopefully I can get them done.
I found myself just messing around with slap last month, without really putting in any work, just a slap here and there. I then decided I wanted to buckle down and learn a slap heavy song. After a day or two I got a blister on my index finger and had to take a day off, now itās a callus. I probably should have put new strings on before recording, but overall I am happy with how it turned out.

Oh that was good @dlamson13 ! I didnāt know the song and I may not have paid much much attention to it but that bassline is a hidden gem Great work with moving up and down the neck in the solo too Are you running the output from the amp into the DI?

Nice job going all in with the slap @Paul_9207! I know the effort it takes to get there, not there yet myself, but I keep working on it and its definitely a grind. Itās fun as hell though. I think you had really good clarity with the slaps and pops and smooth transitions from slap to plucking.
Weāll forgive you after that rocking Halloween set you put out in October

Thanks @Ed! Yeah there were closer together ways to play those notes in the solo, but everytime I listened to it I kept hearing those long slides so I think thatās what he did.
Iām running the bass into this $30 Behringer DI thingy āBass BDI 21ā but I use it more like an OD because I really love the drive sound it has. I donāt use the DI in it. I run the 1/4" output from the Behringer into the Orange Amp. EQ the amp, and connect the ampās DI to my interface. Didnāt add anything post this time so its pretty raw.
