Iā€™m ashamed to say I had never heard this song, despite it being a Blues classic. I can see why - enjoyed learning and playing it.

Did a quick and dirty cover with the new bass. The first bar is garbage, because I couldnā€™t figure out how to properly align the count-in in GarageBand. Also I didnā€™t EQ anything, itā€™s just DI as is. Iā€™m probably going to re-do this later with proper mixing, but I canā€™t be arsed right now.

Donā€™t worry about the count-in, everyone will be distracted by how awesome that bass is @akos. WOW

btw, the rest of the tune was fantastic, no need to fix it at all, great job!

Well played!

Greetings,
Hereā€™s my take on Born Under a bad sign. Tring to record it, so the bass is up front.
Staying on course with 50 song challenge. Iā€™ll be busy Sunday and Monday so decided to post today. Have a great weekend. :beers:

Great Job @BigAl
Played very very well sir.
Bass is a bit boomy in the mix, but I know you like it that way :wink:

Here is mine.
A quick one to get another off the 50 song list.
I must say working on the Smandl method helped a lot on this tune.

Thatā€™s my Elwood 30"short scale all I play is short scale bass guitars due to injury to my left shoulder.

Hey hey!
Nothing ā€˜justā€™ about the Skyline series.
I am officially a true believer in Lakland.
Between you and my bass teacher (a Lakland artist) and a whole lot of bass trying, I have a Skyline 55-02 coming my way (granted its not coming my way until Jan-Feb). I am blown away by Lakland quality in the Skyline series.
