Post your covers! (2025)

Duran Duran - Hold Me bass cover

One of my 2025 goals was to buy a p-bass, another was to learn some John Taylor / Duran Duran bass lines. In this video, I combine the two.

I bought a second hand Squier Classic Vibe 50s p bass, while away on business this week (blame Facebook Marketplace!!) and bashed out a cover of (well, my interpretation of) John Taylor’s bass line for the 1986 song, Hold Me. I’ve always liked the vibe of this song, it’s been on my list for a while.

Comments, as ever, most welcome!

Squier Classic Vibe 50s p bass into the Ampero, then on into GarageBand.
