Post your covers! (2023)

This song is from the movie Mr. Right. I don’t know if they wrote the song for the movie or not, but it’s played throughout the movie. The bass line is really fun to play and I even get it right about 30% of the time.

This is my first cover with this Schecter Omen Extreme - 4. I really like this bass. Fun and easy to play and it’s very light which is nice.

Edit: changed the tone, the tone was all wrong.

That’s a serious axe and sword there! Sounds awesome that bass, I can’t seem to find one at my shop in Canada. Great job!

Hahahahahahaha. Thank you but no. I’ve been on a food binge! That said, growing back the hair and going full beard Vs long grey goatee does make the younger thing happen.

Tone is great. Another tune I’ve never heard.
Great job on this.
A bit high in the mix in my headphones but just enjoyed the tone more. Lol

He loves his swords and I love my axes. I hadn’t seen one before either. I ordered it from Reverb.

I changed it and swapped the videos, I think it sounds better than when it was first uploaded.

I haven’t heard this song other than on that movie.

That is long gone for me :joy:

Hmmmm. I am just about ready to go short goatee after seeing myself walking past a shop window last week. Degenerate hillbilly is a vastly overrated look!

Boy oh boy what a start to 2023 with the covers so far.

@Growl that has just been ripped to mp3 and is going straight onto my job site work Ipod this week. Fabuuuuuuuuuuous fun bass line.

@John_E I don’t know how long you obsessed (I’m pretty sure that’s the correct verb) over the tone but it was definitely worth it. Top shelf cover.

@Paul_9207 yet more (new to me) fantastic music on this thread. That new bass sounds awesome.

About a week of tweaking every time I practiced it, I must have futzed with the pickup switch a dozen times. Even took the rotosounds I had on the music man off and put boomers, started all over again. Those were the last non boomer rounds I have on a bass, less the NYXLs on the Marcus Miller.

@John_E Awesome, that was one of the first songs I played with my buddies, when we had a “band”. Behold start of 2021, and trying to sound like a band. Those were funny times. Btw you did great.

@Paul_9207 That’s groovy, also could not to notice you had a helper. Must be a sound guy when not doing choreography huh? :smile_cat:

@Barney Yay, another one for job site! Thanks man!

I thought my next cover was going to be House Of The Rising Sun, and after reading the comments in the 50 song challenge thread I saw that everyone struggled with it to some degree and many hate the song - now I understand why. What a crappy bass line lol, so after making it 3/4 of the way through and not being able to stand the song any longer I decided to work on a cover of a song I actually love and want to play.

This one was the most difficult to transcribe so far but was extremely rewarding. I couldn’t quite figure out exactly how it was played but I’m feeling quite confident my transcription is accurate.

I had a hell of a time playing this one cleanly. There was a lot of frustration with a ringing open A and I had to work really hard to sneak my ring finger in there for muting purposes (you can still hear a few rings in there which make me sad), but after a couple of days of practice I was able to get one pretty solid take, so I would like to share with you guys. I’ve only listened to this one on my Alexa and my crappy headphones, curious how it sounds on real speakers

Love XTC. You did a great job too.
Almost no tabs of merit exist either. Nice job transcribing.
