@JerryP I just got home from our trip, and got under the headphones to listen to this. You did an awesome job in every aspect I can think of. Perfect tone, timing, mixing, feel; the works!
You did a good job of stirring up some sweet memories for me. I was 14 when this song was on the hit parade, and it was a jukebox favorite at my momās bar where my sister and I went to work after school (not serving drinks; just washing glasses, stocking beer, cleaning up and such).
Thanks for the memories, and thanks for adding another great cover to this thread.

@JerryP, was in NYC with my daughter today and ran into this guyā¦. I played him your cover and he said youāre one cool cat with a groovy feel.

The song is Waste by Phish. This is me, recording cell phone video of playing/singing along with the album version.
First time ever recording myself singing, playing or not. As you can tell Iām not a vocalist, but being able to sit around a campfire and sing a song or two is a skill Iād like to be able to pull off. You can tell I pick up a little confidence as I go.
Also my first time writing my own bass part for a song and writing a solo. Had to keep it simple to be able to sing at the same time, but Iām really happy with how well it works for the song. The issue is, the part Iām playing isnāt interesting enough to play around a campfire on its own. It only works in support of the guitar and piano parts. I guess that will be my next goal.
Not a perfect cover, this was my second take. I was planning to try again, but after watching it I didnāt think I would do any better given more tries, so letās call it done!

The bass sounds great! I barely heard the backing track or your vocals. You bass face is awesome though.
Great job, and thanks for putting this out there, I really enjoyed listening to it.

Well done! I especially liked the bass solo / higher register playing. Very cool.

@BassFaceDisgrace dude that was awesome!!!
All around awesome.
I donāt know the song or the band but what immediately came to mind is your sound like David Gilmour when you sing. Tune was very Floyd ish too.
Great bass playing. Man I gotta start expanding past covers. Between you and @JerryP nad @PamPurrs and others I need to make my own bass parts soon. You are motivating me.

Nice!! Really like the melodicism in the solo part!
One point to be aware of is perhaps timing: it is so important to not drag the quarter notes in the first halve of the song (where they alternate with this little triplet motif).
If you like music like that, you should check out Bobby Vegaās bass playing, e.g., with the Pilgrims of Stoke (even though it is on fretless here):

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.
