Nice job @JDDaniel. I just noticed this ZZ Top cover you did nearly a year ago and enjoyed listening to it. Timing was off in places but overall a splendid job.
I’m sure now that 11 months have passed, you have improved significantly.

I’ve had the Hofner (Beatle Bass) for six months and have yet do do a Beatles cover. It’s time I did one!
I chose this song because it is one of my favorites, and it brings back some great teenage memories (I was 16 when this song came out).
My latest cover:
Nowhere Man by the Beatles
122 BPM
Key of E
Hofner Ignition
LaBella Flats
As always, song facts are on my site for those interested.

Strap looks like it weighs more than the bass. Nice job

Thank you. I use the 4.5 inch leather straps on all my basses, but particularly on the Hofner because it stays put on my shoulder. The Hofner is notorious for neck dive because the body is so light.

Great Job PAM MCCARTNEY!!
@PamPurrs seriously great, some fancy finger work here for sure!
Good job capturing the old Hofner tone of Macca too.
Certainly worth the wait.
Now I really have to get my act together and get past my cover I’ve been stuck on, thanks for the motivation.
This made my otherwise miserable Friday workday much much better!!!
Listened twice already!

Thank you @John_E . I have to say, this was the most difficult cover I have done yet. It’s a finger twister that makes Billie Jean look like child’s play.

Thanks everyone!
Interesting comment I found about Billie Jean, and trying to figure out THE “correct” way of playing it.

That just goes to show everyone what really goes on when recording. It’s not always one perfect take, in fact that seldom happens. For the most part, the final product is a crazy quilt of parts and pieces of many takes stitched together.

Thank you @RuknRole
I played electric upright for awhile and that’s where I picked up this technique. It seems to work for me, so no sense trying to change it.

In fact, the Edgar Winter song Frankenstein got it’s name for how many cuts it took to make the final product.
