Thank you, @Beza! The community covers are such fun to watch!
Great to see you back. I love the song, video and beautiful inlays on that bass!
Also great to see someone who looks like they are really getting into the song and celebrating Artemis

Of COURSE. I’m a bass beginner and my first job is to learn most of Three Imaginary Boys album. Those basslines are some of the loves of my life! Love your cover- great work.

Bachata Dominicana- so much simple but beautiful bass driving every song! I’m shy to upload a vid but I’ve been enjoying getting a Raulin Rodriguez bassline nailed (I’m a newbie though). ps nice work!!
I will never, ever try and dissuade someone from learning to play The Cure but Three Imaginary Boys isn’t really where I’d start with them if you’re new to bass. It’s one to work up to imo. The basslines on that album come at a pretty quick clip. Songs on Seventeen Seconds / Faith / Pornography are a lot more attainable for new players.
I think the first Cure cover that I did was All Cats areGrey off of Faith. It’s a good chugging bassline that’s pretty simple to fret. Yep it was, I did this one a few months after finishing B2B. Kinda want to rerecord it now using a pick.

This is where you want the track to be for recording for sure but you can also bring it up a bit in the mix as long as the master peaks are still below -1 to -2dBFS and the overall loudness (in LUFS on the final master) is not too high, say loudness around 12-14 LUFS.
Or just play with it until you are happy with it and call it a day

Thanks so much @faydout. Yeah you’re right they are tricky but I like the deep end (within reason) when trying to learn songs, and am slowly following Josh’s course to learn how to play bass properly. Like living in a non English speaking country communicating as best you can while doing grammar lessons in the evening! You’ve really boosted my confidence as I’m part way through title track (‘Three Imaginary Boys’) with someone on youtube who has tabbed it up and I’m finding it quite straight forward- it’s really motivating to know that what I’m doing is difficult.
Looking forward to more of your covers! I hate videoing myself otherwise I’d opload my Cure attempts for you to assess for me.

Thank you very much! 
In fact I got inspired by the Artemis Mission’s footage first before doing this cover! 
While watching the beauty of our so often ‘forgotten’ moon caught by Artemis’ footage, the soundtrack ‘Forgotten Moon’ from my favourite Video game Endless Space 2 came into my mind; and I was like: Hell yeah, this feels perfect, I NEED to cover this on the Bass. 
Wish you all the Bass

This is one I’ve wanted to do for awhile. I can finally handle the speed, this one comes at you fast. I ran it through a B15 patch, nothing fancy going on. I had some issues posting it to Youtube so I had to host through Vimeo.

“Cygnus X-1: Book II - Hemispheres” by Rush, just the Prelude for now.
That’s about as good as it’s gonna get for now. I definitely could have done a better job on this one. This was like, attempt number 20 or something. I’ve been trying for hours to play this song satisfactorily. I can play the different sections more or less perfectly… it’s when I play the entire prelude when I can’t help but make 3-6 mistakes.
It’s so easy to get the parts mixed up. When to play two 16th notes instead of one 8th note. When to staccato and when to ring out. When to use certain fingers for optimal fluidity. Remembering at the last second and scuffing it, but still hoping you hit the note well enough. Heck, some of it is just muscle memory, but I couldn’t actually teach you how to play it.
It’s really hard to be consistently accurate too, and getting clean notes instead of buzzing or dead notes. You’re playing at 200bpm most of the time, and this bass line is incredibly melodic with a ton of variation in the measures, and you’re crossing strings all the time.
I clearly need more practice. Enjoy this video for now, but I’m going to practice it religiously at slower tempos again, with more sets than I will feel is necessary. I’ll get it down much better soon.
Oh! And a quick personal update: I live in Japan now! I bought that bass just last week, and it was an upgrade from my white Squier, which I couldn’t take with me. I really like it. It plays well, feels great, sounds great, and looks great. You can only get this edition in Japan and they stopped making them last year. I was very lucky to have been able to buy it; it’s got so much style with the pearlescent black body and the gold plating on all the hardware. It’s a wonderful instrument. I’m very thankful to have it.

Hey everyone! 
I’ve put together something I’ve been wanting to have for a while — a searchable, browsable index of all the cover videos that have been shared in the Post Your Covers threads, going all the way back to 2019.
https://cover-video-index.onrender.com/
What it is
It’s a single page that pulls together every video link posted across the 2019–2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 cover threads — currently 2,315 videos from 161 contributors, representing over 22,000 forum posts. Each entry shows the video thumbnail, the song title pulled directly from YouTube/Vimeo/SoundCloud, the contributor’s name and profile picture, and the date it was posted.
What you can do with it
Search — type anything and it filters instantly across video titles, song names, artists, and usernames. Looking for everyone who’s covered The Cure? Just search “The Cure.”
Filter by contributor — the sidebar lists everyone who’s ever posted a cover, with their avatar and a count of how many they’ve shared. Click any name and you’ll instantly see just their videos.
Filter by thread — use the thread dropdown to browse just 2026, or just 2024, or see everything at once.
Date range — there’s a date picker so you can browse everything posted in a specific window of time.
Platform filter — filter to just YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo, and more.
And these all work together. You can, for example, click a contributor in the sidebar, set a date range, and search for an artist — and the results will update instantly to show only videos matching all three criteria at once. It’s a pretty powerful way to dig through the archive.
Dark / light mode — toggle in the top right corner. It remembers your preference.
One important thing
This index is meant to complement the cover video experience here on BassBuzz — not replace it. Please keep posting your covers in the threads, keep watching each other’s videos, keep leaving comments and encouragement, and keep the conversation going here where it belongs. Every card in the index has a Go to Post button that takes you straight to the original forum post — please use it! Watch the video there, drop some feedback, leave a kind word. That interaction is what makes this community great, and the index is just a way to help surface covers you might have missed, not a reason to stay away from the threads.
A couple of other things to know
This is completely unofficial and independently built — the BassBuzz team reviewed and approved it, but weren’t responsible for building it. So please don’t ping them if something seems off. It’s a fan-built tool.
If you spot a video that seems mislabelled or shouldn’t be there, or if something seems to be broken, feel free to send me a message and I’ll look into it.
The index is updated periodically rather than in real time, so very recent posts might not appear immediately.
Hope it’s useful! There are some genuinely incredible covers buried in those old threads (and wow - how those hairstyles have evolved) that I’d never come across before putting this together.

Thank you John. I spent the first 18 months of my playing kinda bouncing around between styles trying a bit of everything, plateaued and got discouraged. I never quit playing but went through a period where I didn’t feel like I could do anything and was just going through the motions.
A few months ago I kinda stripped my practices and song choices down to brass tacks and worked on identifying what precisely it was I wanted to do, then started doing that. I feel more focused now, more excited to pick up my instrument and see what I can do with it.
