When I get back home, I’ll experiment some more on the mixing aspect of recording.

I send a friend who overall has a good ear for pitch and music my recording of my build project playing billy jean and to my mind the mix was off on purpose so you can clearly hear the bass I want to demonstrate.
He went like: “Sounds nice… not sure what the bass is in there but it sounds nice.”
So I totally understand that and I actually do different mixes for different purposes:
a) I want to create a song/cover
b) I want to showcase my bass playing
and for purpose a I agree with @terb
for purpose b I think it’s just right. Maybe even then a little bit much.
But you can’t do both. You can’t have a nice mix and the bass that prominent/loud in the mix so it is clearly audible even for non musical people. Well… except if that’s how it is intended and serves the rest of the music.

Great cover @TNKA36. Certainly getting around the fretboard nicely with the change in key 
The old bass has a nice tone too

Great job Brian! Love the tone, and a great job mixing and producing the cover! Keep ‘em comin’!
Probably should have posted this under the original Original Post Your Covers Thread… Maybe @JoshFossgreen can move it there for you…
Keep on Thumpin’!

Thanks @terb,
Appreciate the feedback.
I have been working on another cover all afternoon with the 76 J but I’m finding it to narrow in the neck to get it to sound as good as the P , so I think I’m gunna put it away and go back to recording with “the wreck” 
Cheers Brian

agree, a J just can’t sound as good as a P, the universe is made this way

I think I might give the 79 P a run, but it has roundwounds on it and they just don’t glide as nice as the flatties.

Hi bassbuzz friends,
Please see link to my latest cover.
I am learning how to complete the whole process myself and you will see I made a little error at the close out of the video.
The song I have done is from one of my favourite bands.
Timothy b Schmit is one of my favourite bass players and his voice is awesome.
I can recall @PamPurrs mentioning it’s one of her favourites so I hope I have done it proud.
All feedback is welcome.
Enjoy.
Cheers Brian
