Post your covers! (2025)

Well, I didn’t tell anyone :rofl:
1788 miles driven through England, France and Italy, 22 miles on the Eurotunnel, and 82 miles from Italy to Albania on the ferry! we arrived home at around 8am Saturday. We’ve done well getting unpacked, and I have all the important stuff set up :slight_smile:


Time to get back into practising now that I left all the stress behind! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Great stuff, how can you not love this song?

When doing bass covers, it is quite important that we can hear the bass. This sounds great, well played :slight_smile:

Awesome job, thanks for sharing. I don’t know the song, but I love the sound, nicely done.

Haha, that was fun. I didn’t know there was a Homer Simpson version of this. And top job on the Bass Buzz t shirt. Thanks for joining in the fun!

I quite like what I’ve heard of Taylor Swift, great cover Duncan.

Cool duet, the additional voice really works well. I mean, it works for Linkin Park, right? :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Not heard this before, cool tune though. well played Dan.

When I saw the thumbnail, I wasn’t expecting Country, but that was my bad!
Great choice, that was a fun song.

That was a more modern pic of them…this is the cover of their self-titled debut album from ‘91 (which features the song Norma Jean Riley) and you’ll see it is a mullet-fest.

Well played!

Kool cover! Well played!

Nice cover! Well played!

I didn’t know this band. Nice song, and well played!

Very nice! Cool choice!

Nice cover! And great job doing the bass tracks. So many songs nowadays have the bass entirely done with keyboard, which is a pity. This was very well played, and your punk loving cousin who likes Taylor Swift would probably be pleased. :grin:

Very nice!

This was very nice! I can’t remember when I last heard it. It was possible in a TV series. Well played!

Well played! :sun_with_face:

I added Peacemaker to my list. Dexter was awesome! I watched it twice.

Thanks, Ron! Yeah, that Diamond Rio album cover is peak 80’s/early 90’s country right there. That was a fun song to play with all of those starts and stops.

Thanks @andrea-slnd @AndreaJayne @BassFusion @JohnF for the kind words and checking it out!

That’s crazy! I literally had “Come On Feel the Lemonheads” on repeat for a couple hours in my basement this weekend and decided to do this on a whim because it seemed like the perfect song for the day. Something in the air man.

Yep yep tons of very good points in here.

I actually think you get better results by duplicating (by literally duplicating the track) the original bassline and then leaning in to the phase effects by either slightly detuning one or adding a very small amount pf phase delay to one, then panning those left/right. Basically a slightly boosted Haas effect.

This is an easy way to make the bass sound bigger but needs care if you go too much it definitely sounds phased. We’re talking very small differences are enough.

It’s also usually good to then put the bass tracks on a bus and then do some filtering or EQ to trim the low end because multiple bass tracks are going to make the whole mix muddy very fast.

IMO this will yield better results than playing the bassline multiple times (despite that being the more popular method)
