I can’t remember what I did @groaner when I did my cover. I think I just slid into the root note when I felt like it.
I decided it wasn’t worth overthinking and just gave it a go.

That’s likely what I’ll do too, @Barney but I like analyze the song I’m playing a little.
Looking forward to recording them both.
I just went through each style and I like the sound of the 50 songs version better as the A string sounds a little cheerier. The E string version is quite a bit more muted.
Here it is.
I may not do the other version of this as I do like this. The bass is a little heavy and sustain between plucks could use some improvement. Too much staccato (is that the right term?)
I was super pleased with the Orange AD200 sound. Really matched Adam’s sound, I think.
BASS - Yamaha TRBX 304 Active Jazz bass
AI device - Focusrite Scarlett Solo
DAW - Reaper with Amplitube Orange AD 200 virtual amp
Video - OCS
Put it all together in Resolve

Sounding good @groaner
I think the bopping back and forth caused your slide timing to suffer a bit though.
It sounds like your intonation on the string your are silding on) is off a tad bit too up higher.
Really great job and tone is spot on indeed!
Excellent!!!

Thanks @John_E !
I think it was my bass face! Honestly, I threw it in and immediately missed a step!
I can’t help to bop but I’ll pay closer attention to it.
I felt when I was playing that something felt off, but after I recorded it I 5hougjt “good enough”.
I thought it was a tad out of tune.
Thanks for your input. I always look forward to it.

This is a redo of my With or Without You cover. My last one sounded off due to a mis-placed fret (slid up to 9th instead of 10th!). Hopefully this sounds better to the ears!

lol. So you’re saying it was “sleight of hand and twist of fate?”
(see what I did there?!).

I’m bouncing around a bit in the 50 songs list - This one was really fun to play and a pretty chill bass line overall.
I decided to let the H pickup solo this one. So I popped the switch on my Jino bass and dialed the preamp down quite a bit. That H pickup is HOT HOT HOT!
I used the Darkglass Microtubes 500v2 with XLR Out to Volt 276 and then to Garageband. Video recorded with OBS. Original bass removed with Moises.ai. I brought it all together in iMovie.
Thanks for watching!

I use Imovie (I don’t know what use). But if you’ve got a splice between two different videos i.e you recorded it again because the light is different in the room. Then if you use a transition image or piece of video between the two it makes it less obvious.
So part 1, then fade in a picture / random bit of video from U2 for a few seconds, then drop in part 2.
Example for reference (it’s all one video I’m just showing a typical transition slide).
Nice work on thrashing through the challenge though
