Great job - really moody!
Don’t underestimate how difficult slow songs with sparse basslines can be. Timing is way more difficult than chugging ,and you have to fight the temptation to over elaborate (honestly, you can see the veins standing out my my forehead when I’m playing a slow line)
Lazing on a sunny afternoon - The Kinks
I heard the bass cover on the Geordie Bassist’s channel and I thought “Ed, that is the cover for you!” It is an interesting contrast, despite the song being in the key of D minor (the saddest of keys) and the singer narrating his woes, he sounds content with his lot.
The bassline doesn’t seem that tough at first glance but keeping the quarter notes consistent at that pace was actually a bit tricky. Call me Gorbachev because I be rushing lol 
Anyway, I really got into this one while I was playing it, even though I had a couple of blank moments while recording the video…
Oh - the backing track faded out a couple of times. Grrr. Blame Moises for that one - wasn’t me, guv!
Special thanks to The Geordie Bassist on Youtube for the transcription
Awesome Ed! Lots of memories in that song. The Hofner sounds great!
You’re welcome bud! Things with the band were going good. 
we were learning the material and shooting for playing live after the new year! We had a major setback with this hurricane though. Our drummer lives in lake lure. Him and his wife both lost their jobs from the destruction Helene caused. Tree fell on their house. No power for weeks maybe they are told. Not sure what they will do now. Practice is on hold for awhile. The guitarist is also near that area but only lost power. No damage to property or job loss. Major kink in the hose, so fingers crossed it will work itself out soon. Thank you for asking brother.
Great job Ed!
You have a wife with great taste in basses haha 
she did good!!
Yes-sounds great.!!!
Dang dude! That sucks.
Nicely done, keep em coming!
Yes it does. I like that tune!
Yeah, she’s a gem for sure!
Very sorry to hear about your trials and tribulations regarding the aftermath of the hurricane. I hope your bandmates get back on their feet and you all get back to jamming again.
Great cover Ed, really like the tone as well.
Great Job! Love seeing you sing along and really getting into the music.
Yo that’s a jam! Great job!
Great playing, @Ed! I agree that some of the simpler lines can actually be quite a challenge, especially with timing…
Thanks @JerryP @TheMadBassist @Nebel @sunDOG !
I think the original bass on the recording was a Precision but I thought the Hofner sounds more 60s If you push up the bridge pickup, it’s actually very good at cutting into the mix, even with flats.
I think my task for the month will be to work with slower songs, dig the metronome out and sort out my timing…
I had a crack at the new Cure single. This is done on the Reverend, no special effects or anything. Just some compression and EQ.
The Cure - Alone
Great stuff mate, would’ve liked you a bit higher in the mix. Still a great cover!
Sounded good, @faydout!
Did someone say that the covers have been too happy of late? 
This one was a request from a friend who has recently been through a rough break up…
Portishead - Glory Box (live)
Very easy to play, but then it all becomes about the timing! EHB1000S into the Ampero One (clean), then on into GarageBand.
Video edited to fit the mood of the song.
