Great job!! Thats how I learned to play it alsoā€¦. Something about that intro that just sets everything up that followsā€¦. Sounded great to meā€¦

Keep On Thimpinā€™!

Bingo! I had to stop myself from learning ABITW part 1 as well, but then saw myself on a course to learn the whole of side 1 :sweat_smile:
The Wall is such an amazing album, itā€™s tough focusing on a single song!

Thank you, Lanny. Much appreciated.

Awesome!
I should have done the same thing with ā€œHappiest Days of our Livesā€. Iā€™ll go back someday and finish it.

Hereā€™s my take on it @stevesilver925ā€¦. Not a true cover per the 50 Song Challenge, but this is how I played it with one of the bands I played in awhile backā€¦.

That was awesome @Lanny! Thanks for sharing. Also loved you playing on an Ibanez SR500E. I have a SR300E (my first bass), itā€™s so versatile and a real looker.

Yes @groaner, do it!

That tone is killer, @stevesilver925! Care to tell us (me) a little bit more about how you achieved it? The bass itself is probably a big factor, but what about your strings and the rest of your signal path?

Thanks @Mike_NL, I was very pleased with the tone, but it was quite simple. Iā€™m very new at the recording thing, and wasnā€™t really sure what to pick. So, I ran through the stacks on GarageBand until something sounded right. It only took a couple of minutes. I didnā€™t even mess with the settings (check the photo).

Youā€™re right about the instrument though, the tone of the Fender P is so rich and boomy. Itā€™s like being given the warmest hug or snuggling in your favourite blanket on a cold winter day. It was the best buying decision I made this year.

A Fender P through a Ampeg B15N. Hmmmm. Hahahaha

About as classic as it gets.

Iā€™ve got some serious learning to do outside of playing hahaha

Just buy a real one @stevesilver925 you know for the ā€˜authenticā€™ tone. Treat yourself, itā€™s Xmas :slight_smile:

I dramatically prefer several SVTā€™s over the B-15, but if you really want an old school mellow P-Bass vibe, then yeah you want a flip-top.

I use them both quite a lot. Depends on the music. The VT Bass DI is da bomb for both.

It really is a great preamp. Real tough call between that one and the Vintage Microtubes Ultra for my favorite solid state preamp, and I lean towards the VT Bass DI.
