@terb - Not quite there yet since @TNKA36 has just recently started using GB and iMovie to create his covers. Kinda taking small steps right now with the process - Brian is somewhat unfamiliar with the logic behind the mac OS, but is learningā¦ Through this process however, we have both been working together in the development of simple user friendly āStep-By-Stepā instructional documents that will help assist future GB and iMovie users who (like Brian) may be unfamiliar with using macās and apple appsā¦
The development of such a document would be welcomed by a technophobe like me @Lanny. Iāve read and reread the topic regarding recording yourself playing and just cannot grasp the basics to be bluntly honest. I just glaze at the first mention of a DAI ( and this is from someone who can build a chopper wiring loom from scratch)
Good on you both for tackling this
I know @terbā¦ No problemā¦ Iām finding that there are some people on here that would probably post to your āCoversā thread if they probably knew a bit more of how to actually do it. Some of the threads here on the forum have grown so long and large that many have āmorphedā into the opposite of what they were originally intended to be - an example would be the thread called something like the āBeginners set up to recordāā¦ Hell man, reading that thread now (at least for me) would require me to get a frigginā engineering degreeā¦
Sometimes I think that many of who have been on this forum for a long time may have forgotten what it was really like to be a bit undereducated in some of what we now consider to be āsimple thingsā and as such may appear to be a bit intimidating to some of the newer users.
Thus my idea to create an āInstructionalā using someone like Brian to help pit it together since he will test and check my process out as someone who has never done it before. So far he has been able to identify many process and procedure items in the instructional that I may have thought were simple or commonly understood as things that were confusing to himā¦
My biggest complaint with online āHelpā topics is that they are written by those who donāt actually need any help, and were never vetted through those who really actually need the helpā¦
back on the couch for some psychedelic stoner from Poland !

Again this is a sound check in a real-life studio context I used the Bass Floor POD and nothing else (no pedal) and the settings are exactly the same that the ones I used on my last cover (Gouge Away - Wilt) with Greenie. Even the gain and the comp settings are strictly identical. in fact I wanted to see if the exact same settings would be useable with the Yam SBV. it sounds pretty different than Greenie, as the SBV have less output level and a wider bandwidth (a little bit scooped), but I like this tone and I think it works well for this kinda ambiant song.
Great job as usual @terb! Great to see the couch back in the cover, and your choice of bass was spot on for that song. There were parts of it that actually took me back in time a bit to the earlier days of heavy metalā¦
Nice sound @terb,
Nice sliding etc on the track along with plenty of space that fills it out.
I love the sound from the yammy.
Just a little curious about the t-shirt, what is it implying .
Sound and picture very clear as alwaysš
Reminds me a little of Nirvana or some of Hawkwinds stuff in places.
Cheers Brian
Awesome cover as always @terb and Iām really digging the band. Never heard of them before but I will definitely be looking into them.
Really love the bass too. The headstock is so understated and yet so cool
at the time I bought my SBV, I searched for a 550 one (because of Fumi obviously) but it was impossible for me to find one. those SBV are really very rare in Europe. so I bought this 500 (in England - impossible to find one in France), and Iām finally happy to have this model instead of a 550 : itās more different than the Precision and it makes a lot more sense for me, especially as a studio instrument.
anyway the 550 is awesome. by the way the one on your video doesnāt seem to have the stock pickups (the original are white). and by the way I really like this song, it reminds me of some kind of japanese version of Pavement.
also the lead guitarist plays a Mosrite and thatās freaking cool.
Hi Bass-buzz friends,
Please find the link below to my new cover.
Its a great Concrete Blonde track from the Walking in London Album.
Johnette Napolitano has written some really great songs, and has an amazing voice as well as being a very accomplished bass player.
as usual all feedback is appreciated.
I believe there is a little humming in the track, not sure from what ?
Thank @DaveT for giving me the heads up, and offering potential causes, i will be working hard on trying to eliminate this from my next tracks.
Cheers Brian.
Hi Bass-buzz friends,
please find the link below for another of my new covers.
Its a classic cover of KD Langās āIf i were youā
I love the bass line on the track and it has some nice string crossing parts.
The track has a slight humming in it.
cheers Brian
