Post your covers! (2025)

With or Without You -U2
I really enjoyed this one, same as with Yellow. Such a relaxed tune to plug away at.
I originally recorded it finger style, but upon trying to balance my bass with the mp3, I wasn’t happy, so re-recorded my bass with a pick! It sounds much better.
I did not re-record the video to match though, so I’m still happily plucking away in that :rofl:

I could have left BOTH bass tracks on the project :grin:
In fact, they are still both on the project in Davinci Resolve, I just muted the original track

The Cure - A Forest (Acoustic) bass cover

This is a bass cover of an acoustic version of the song. Do I try to play it exactly as per the original? No, I try to “own” it :wink:

Fun bass line to play. I was going for a super clean, unprocessed tone, with just a hint of drive (there is also some compression). What do you think?

Dingwall Combustion into the Ampero, then on into GarageBand.
