Post your covers! (2025)

Digging the Bond theme songs, Andrea! Sounds great!

I think this is the first Led Zeppelin cover I’ve heard on BassBuzz. Well done! Enjoyed that one!

Very cool! You look super comfortable and it sounded great!

The Hofner Shortie travel bass definitely did its job! That looked like a fun song to play and the tone was nice! Well done.

That was excellent, Jerry! Really nice sound and you had great timing. That post-chorus part is cool where the drums stop and the bass takes center stage.

Great way to start off my Sunday morning listening to some slides…this song will be fun for your live show. Have a blast! Sounds great!

This is going to be another EPIC listening sessions as I have not visited this thread for quite sometime.

I laid out 3 of my favorite IEMs, Mechanical Keyboards, and DAC ready for the blissful sessions. Let’s get stuck in.

Great playing, very clean picking technique Man. What a way to start the year.

Bonus: Love the Outtro man.

That’s some tight finger tone man. Great fills good dynamic.

Love the tone man. Good choice of playing location adding warmth to the notes. Love the isolated part toward the end and the last notes is has a really cool synth tone to that too.

Wow! that’s some kick a$$ bass tone there. Kudos for the marathon finger works. Smooth shifting technique. I love it.

Tight tight tone man. OHHHH! that B string Holy Mother forking shirt ball.

Love the singing along. Solid playing and great editing man fun!

Good incorporation of the open string. Great groove. Very tasty and laid back playing just behind the beat enough to really shine the bass lines. You have great feel of music man.

My all time favorite sound track. Great playing and gorgeous finger board on that bass. Wonderful tone.

Deep and impressive sliding first note.

:joy: love that muscle memory of turning the knob down at the end of the song, it said you’ve been on stage before.

Nice Open E. Nice fills love that slides

Nice finger work man. That chorus is pretty crazy good.

Awesome groove man. Very engaging. Your plugging skills is awesome very relax.

Love the Staccato notes. It like live version. Man you love these long songs eh?

Man you are on the roll with this picking. Great job man great tone just the right touch of drive. Miss her crazy voice.

That short scale has pretty good tone man.

On location shooting! High production value man. You are so lucky it’s not Lake Placid standing with your back to the water. :rofl:

Good job man!

Seven Nation vibe!!! love it.

What a treat. The slide on the verse with perfect timing sounded like you are doing a double stops. great playing man.

Funky string mute! very effective

You sound great @Barney you should be singing, :grin:

Betcha this would be a crowd pleaser on a gig. Add a bit of a half step note slide it’s so good.

Another crowd pleaser. Man I used to ride like that on the street of Bangkok, I don’t know how I live to see today :rofl:

That’s a great sounding bass man.

Wow great playing @fennario the counter melody is superb. Love the tone of that BB too. Flats?

Perfect song for that DingWall. Soon your daughter will be jamming with you.

Props for the commitment to use pinky. Or it’s the ring finger and I owe you an apology, :joy: Good playing man

That Black Beauty sounds great. Great playing as always.

@Barney in living color. Awesome double stops

Why not you don’t like nipple BatMan?

This will be interesting. Watch on. hit play!

Hey not bad. The best way to play this song without mistake is to read a book while playing. :grin:

Love that retro vibe man. Gotta dig out that Dingwall and shred some bottom notes man. That would have been a brain rattling groove.

Love it.

Good tune, slight drag on the transition but good playing.

Funky man! What pickup(s) are engaging? I know the bridge for sure but it’s so thick to be just bridge.

Nice!! Is that Nordy pickup? Sounds great.

Good one, pocket king!

There it is. So iconic man.

Oh yeah! so good @JerryP Deep and Spooky.

Great tone. You are right that sounds great. All the benefits of flats and the brightness of rounds. great playing too.

Yes, yes, yes! love it. All of it bass, tune, and playing. Off the chart man! You had me at the Beatle bass!!!

Oh yeah!! great one @Ed

Awesome Duo…Wait correction Trio, :rofl:

That is so good. the pick is so crisp and the note is exceptionally tight on my IEM. it’s rocking man.

Awesome shuffling man. Not only I want to pickup my bass and play along, I want to pickup my guitar as well, :joy:

That is so Nasty. the harmonics are still ringing too. have you tried it with middle or pinky. it’s usually easier than index. Props for bending F#.

Yes man you go. That’s awesome.

This Power Ballad is your Jam dude. So powerful.

this is really a treat for me. Meat meet nails. it’s just enough to sound like muted picking but much fuller tone. Super special.

Bottle it man. that’s super special. I listened to that twice. It’s such a great tone.

Another Crowd pleaser songs for sure. Great playing @Lanny

Awesome tone. Flawless.

My point exactly. You are great with this genre.

Simply Masterful!

You can also land a jet on that fingerboard, :rofl:

Nice slurring technique, sounds great.

Sounds great man almost like synth bass tone.

Now we are in February

Yes Man. Great tune!

Car Chase Scene. So much fun. That little ghost note is so good.

The Queen of Syncopation. That sounds so good.

That D string sound so clean. How does the string feel after dropping a whole step? still tight?

That sounds so good with the pick.

Ah the return of the identical Triplets.

Oh wait! what? It’s a Quad!!!

Great job Paul. You and your brothers did awesome. Love the Marty McFly effect.

Nice Picking. good job

Awesome octave groove.

Love the chimmy tone. Well done!

Wow! what a tone! Flats?

That’s intense! Great playing

It should be illegal to have this much fun playing music or listening to one, regardless of being an item or not. You are making the rest of us look bad, :joy:

I was just on Ventura Hwy last week. I didn’t hear this song, but you sound awesome. Oh may that’s some cheesy fills there too.

Awesome pull offs, perfect execution. Such a great unhurried pace. On a fretless no less. Great job man.

I couldn’t stop laughing. It’s so Gnarly! Dang!! I wish one day I have the courage to drop F on my 6 string. Hey you are definitely a great candidate for the Lignum SubOctave bass. Let me know whenever you are interested, I’ll put you in touch with Gustav.

That Sire sounds great man!

This is so awesome on the road cover.

Such an iconic ZZ song.

Hey join the club. I started this with my first cup of Joe, now I’m at yours #1253 and my wife is preparing dinner. This is next level stuffs man. These kids are not joking around they are players with vengeance. What a treat! so far.

Like butter. Delicious.

That StarCaster sounds great. this must have taken at least half and hour to edit, insert evil laugh!!! :rofl:

Good job man

That’s fantastic playing man.

The name is DOG sun DOG, :grin: That’s so awesome.

I went to see Sting at the Greek Theater and the guest was Ray Charles. I paid $300 and that’s with dinner too. Time have changed.

Nice studio space.

Wow! her voice is so angelic.

Oh Man! That song was on my first ever setlist. Can’t wait. Ok hitting play.

Ok That was definitely miles above my 15 year old self playing that song. Thanks for the memories.

Definitely love the Mood lighting. the Reverend sounds awesome.

Dramatic entry of the Big E string. Love the dynamic.

Not only this is a harder song to play with all of it syncopation, it’s also not easy to sing with the amouth of words that can fill a phonebook, so I’m gob smack when you did both. Bravo!

That’s quite a departure from “You’ll be in my heart” :rofl:

That’s some tasty E string Bending.

Dude is that TEA?

That’s some Syncopation man. Ian would be proud.

MADs I haven’t forgotten about you but I couldn’t click the link as it takes the tabs out of whack. I was going to come back and sweep all of yours and Andrea.

That said great song man. How I wish I knew about this song with I was gigging that would have been my Ciggy break with all of the open strings.

Yet another song on my very first setlist. As the matter of fact I just played that not too long ago. So good man!

Like metronome. Good job

Love it man. great groove

You have such great dynamics with your playing. True artist man.

Good job man

PSA: you should keep your equipments dry, :rofl:

I love OFR. Well played.

Man that’s some spicy triplets

Nice playing and tab insertion as well. Did you make it vertical (tab)? Chorus is crazy good.

Wow up close and personal tone on this one. That sounds so awesome. Did you add any drive? So wonderfully Nasally tone. really awesome.

Awesome!

Nice playing bro. Pink string for a Pink song. Nice!

Love it man. Gotta give it to Air Supply they really keep up and evolved into a great live performing “brand”.

Love the portrait man.

are you going down the list of the song on the album? that’s great man

Oh Heck NO!! that’s so awesome man. That tone is great. Did you add chorus too, it bleeds in to lower mid a bit.

Ok I haven’t played the song yet. I’m excited to hear it. You look like you are ready for battle. :grin: Pressing play

Nice ghost notes. Great pace on the octave. The outtro is sick man.

Awesome tone. That G rumbles.

Ah! another twins. Are you a lefty?

Awesome playing. It’s a few repeats away from gigged ready.

Never heard this one from Styx but you played it like it’s on the album. Tommy’s singing?

Who doesn’t love Top Gun.

This is awesome saving lives and playing music, what a life.

That’s all I need to know how much of a Geek you are, that’s so awesome man. great playing man.

Lovely. Synth too. awesome.

I’m a sucker for $$ and it’s a Vette too. Nice.

It sounds great on my IEM man. Spacious.

Yeah 35" scale would do you very good.

Nice mellow tune for you.

girl you have no idea, :rofl:

My all time favorite song. It took me a year to learn how to play drum on this song. It’s deceptively difficult. That shuffle really messed me up. good job AJ

Love the Groove Ant. Great funk tune.

The same as the difference between Polenta and Grits

Right? So good.

This is so good man. Neo-Prog was all the rage especially the Brits.

Welcome back. I was smiling when I saw the name of the song. At 2:00 mark Soooo good.

Double Cream!!
Great progression. Very smooth. Impressive!

I said it before I love OFR. This one is a super classic too. Great pace. Awesome mix too. I’m unclosed and personal with this music.

Another great Bad Company cover.

There’s a simple explanation to this phenomenon. It’s your Midi-chlorian count has increased and you can simply see the notes before it appears. Well done Padawan.

that’s a great bass lines. Is it me or you look cold. :joy: Dude it’s April. Oh love the double bass drum.

Happy Anni AJ. good playing. Can’t help but spotting your reading library, :joy:

Nice little finger work there. well done.

Yeah love the tone at the end.

Fun fun bass line. Great job with the intro man.

Wow handsome looking bass man. Sounds super awesome. you look very comfortable playing it. This would be the worst song for me to play on the 6 string. Lots of space, I’d be noodling every chance I get, :rofl: You’d probably done that a few dozen times alert too admit it.

Oh yeah. Fantastic.

Nice!!! Welcome to the world of covers.

Even better with the fretless. Next time sneak in a Harmonic slide.

Oh yeah! love alternative tuning.

you are a machine! That’s so good. Happy Anni

That’s fantastic playing.

Love That Tune!! Great cover.

Oh ERROR!!! the system won’t let me post til the end. It limits to just 32000 words and I think I was around 35000 so I gotta chopped some off and post it on the next one.

This is Spyro Gyra mash up with SwingOut Sister.

Evelyn is a fantastic singer.
I just saved your video on my playlist. It’s going to be a shameless stealing for my setlist, :rofl:

Of course you went there! That’s so good man. your bass mix is clipping a bit

Like John said, Get a band man!

Yeah baby! you are rocking it.

Yeah!! I’m warming up to this music. very expressive.

You have twins too, NOOOOO!

Great playing man

It’s a crowd pleaser. this song gets people screaming along every time. Good playing AJ

surprisingly tight sounding for such drop tuning and pick. Love that bass man epic headstock.

Nailed it. That’s awesome man.

Ah! I heard this song quite a few times now I know the artist. I love that bass Jerry. is it a Jazz neck 38mm? the grain on the fingerboard looks so good.

That Lakland sounds so thumpy and deep Lanny. That pickup combo is my absolute favorite combo. It has probably the best tone.

Oh! another Double Cream. So smooth John.

She has some pipe. Your playing gets so good @Ant. This is next level.

Good playing. I used to do that for a few years 2 hours of LA traffic to work every morning.

Did you add anything pedal to the tone? That’s so fat. I love it. the slide was just delicious.

Oh! yeah. Great tone and awesome playing. Such an Iconic song. You just Nailed it.

It’s such a privilege to witness your transformation in such a short amount of time, well in my case within the last 24 hours. Yes, I started yesterday and here we are with my first cup of Joe.

Your sense of space and time is remarkable. You absorb the music and I can just sense it through your playing. Never hurry and just present. True musicianship. I’m a fan. Whatever you do, don’t stop playing.

My Favorite song. that Squier sounds so good but you know as they say, “It’s not the Fiddle” :joy: Great playing.

I was going to say isn’t that a Bond theme? Cool playing. love that tone.

Dude you should be in a touring band by now. That’s so awesome, got me nodding along love the muting swag.

Very nice playing. Love that Jackson tone.

Hey that sounds great. You nailed that sound. Love the Zeps man.

That’s some Great playing @brohr13. Awesome dynamic

Yes, yes, that’s my first thought too. So good.

This is awesome. Rosewood fingerboard? that looks so good Jerry The bass sounds very good very punchy.

Masterful! That slide is so delicious.

Your time is well spent here and we appreciate your time. Love your music and your style. It’s been the best 24 hours for me since I started catching on this thread from the beginning to now.

You have special connection with music and don’t ever give that up.

Well Good Buzzers, I just shattered my old record so much so that the System won’t let me post the entire replied to the thread, Too many words, bet I was the first to discover that :rofl:

I want to genuinely thanks each and everyone of you who participate on this thread as some of you may know that I’ve been off the bass for the last few months due to side effect of my illness. My eyes can’t focus properly. It’s getting much better but as I get better I use more of it and it not speeding up my recovery as fas as it should.

I spent the last few months in the Realm of Audio, specifically IEMs and headphones. Clearly there’s a disconnect here. Those Audiophiles are into Sounds, and we Musos are into Music.

I thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos and the passion I could feel through your music playing. I feel so privileged to be a part of this community. Imma grab my bass and close my eyes and start playing again. Collectively, you may have heeled me

Thanks a bunch.

Kudos to you for making it through, and I am sure that I speak for everyone that posts covers here, when I thank you for your thoughtful comments.

On a personal note, I do hope you are now feeling better and are firmly on the road to recovery.

Emmylou Harris - Luxury Liner

I’ve posted a lot of Sunday morning chill songs to listen to over your coffee or tea. This is not one of those chill songs. Serious tempo (for me :grin:).

From the 1976 album Luxury Liner, this is the first track on the album. The Hot Band really shines on this one. My favorite country album.
