Great cover @BassFaceDisgrace and to sing as well as play so solidly is a major achievement
Thank you everyone for all the kind words and feedback! Believe it or not I felt more comfortable sharing this with you fine folks than my own family. At least you all know and appreciate the work I had to put in to get to this point. I love this community for providing positive feedback and honest constructive criticism, but never ridicule. Thanks bassbuzz fam!
Hi all!
About to finish the b2b course and felt it was about time I posted my first bass cover. The song is quite easy but to get through the whole thing IN TIME was more challenging than I would have thought.
Welcome @Erik, glad you are here.
You did a great job on this. Tone is great for the song too.
Great job! Nice tone, well played, well mixed, great song. Very well done. Congrats on being about to finish the course too!
Welcome @Erik please introduce yourself here
That’s a nicely done cover, especially for your first one. Timing and tone matched the song splendidly, which is the goal of the bass player.
Rock on!
your timing is fine welcome on the forum and congrats for this great cover !
Great job on your first cover @Erik ! Agreeing with everyone else, your timing and tone were fantastic.
Thanks everyone for your kind words! Looking forward to listening to more of your covers and hopefully posting more of my own
Hi guys,
Please find link to my latest cover,
Cheers Brian

Damn @TNKA36 Brian,… What can I say other than…… You were really INTO that one!!
No need to go i to timing, tone, mix, or any of that stuff…… At this point, it’s all about style of play and “use” of tone, mix, and timing…. Using the bass to build attitude in a song is a really cool thing…. When you can feel the song, things happen…. “Use the FORCE Luke!”
I really liked how you not only worked the strings, but also threw in those “mute slides” (that’s what I call them) in every so often to give the tones a bit of style, and also build attitude before the upcoming note - kinda makes a person look forward to hearing what’s next…. Use ‘em at the right time like you did and they work wonders!! This is where I could tell that you were “feelin’ it!!”
Great cover bro!
Keep On Thumpin’!

Great everything brother!
agree with @Lanny on the bassattude.
My only crititque is that you belong in a band instead of alone in your room man.
Nice job seems pretty inadequate. Absolutely nailed it mate .
Thanks Bill @Lanny ,
It’s a great song and i love playing it, the slides etc just fitted into it and added some flair.
I just felt it needed something extra, and was really happy with how it fitted in,
Cheers Brian
Thanks John @John_E,
If i could do a Michael Keaton and clone myself, id be able to been in my own band with my clones ,
Cheers Brian
