Post your covers! (2024)

New cover. This time from a band that’s really close to my heart. A band that’s certainly controversial in the metal community. Many claim “Ghost ain’t metal!!1!11!!”. Funny enough they never claimed to be. I think my favourite insult that I read regarding Ghost was: “It’s satanic Scooby Doo chase music”. I really love that. Ghost is just good music, with extremely catchy melodies. My wife wanted me to cover this.

Ghost - Cirice. Bass cover.

Hey @Nebel, for your next covers may I ask you to please write clearly the artist and the name of the song in your post, like : “Artist - Name of the song” ? thanks !

I have been working on a couple songs that I think would be fun on a fretless. I need to try one out sometime.

I’ve been playing all sorts - new favourite bass an’ all that :wink: I’m thinking of doing a bit of punk on it and I’ve got a ‘frat rock’ song ready to record. :sunglasses:

sounds pretty good. I, personally, could have used more bass in the mix. but, still a good cover.

I did increase the mix, but too much would’ve overpowered the rest of the song. Maybe I should have less dirt and try with a clearer tone.

Foals - My Number

This one is pretty simple note-wise, but I wanted to practice precise rhythms. I could definitely sharpen up a bit, but it’s a fun one to play :slightly_smiling_face: I actually prefer the faster live version.

I pieced together two takes for the final thing.

Well … I’m into it! :joy:

Very cool - I agree I’d have liked the bass to be a bit louder, you were playing some great stuff.

Nice cover, Nebel! The beginning of that song has some “and justice for all” vibes to it… I’ve never heard that band.

Right on! Sounds great! Are you using a sound interface? I ask because the sound quality is really good.

JerryP…I just did a sampling of some of your covers…awesome job! This Beatles one with your McCartney bass was especially fun to listen to. I like the diversity of song selection that everyone has on here.

Gosh! My wife thinks I’ve just reverted to being a teenage and should be pitied!

Great playing, BTW!

Then cover that one as well :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:. I’ve done a couple where I’ve covered both a studio and a live version of a song. Different vibe! Great playing!!

Hell yes, the diversity is fantastic!!

I am hearing a lot of distortion which seems like too high gain or something.
Great playing as always but something odd with the tone for sure.
