I only play a Short Scale and down tuning is not my friend, so that is what I am planning on doing.

Nevermind was one of the first CDs I ever bought. I owned various cassette tapes prior to that. This album got very heavy play back in the day! Anyways, hereās my cover!
Once again with the Jino Jazz Bass. H Pickup rolled off, bridge and neck are full volume. I had the preamp on, but the boosts are dialed back all the way. We are down-tuned a full step. Since these are lighter gauge strings I found that to present itās own challenge!
I added some slides here and there and I think they fit well. I guess itās a habit! 
Darkglass Microtubes 500v2 Head & Ampeg SVT15E cab. I scooped the mids on the EQ and set Compression at 50%. Microtubes Engine ON with Tone and Blend at 50%. I used XLR out to a Volt 276 interface and then to GarageBand. Video recorded with OBS. Finished in iMovie.
This may be the last cover where I use a webcamā¦ Iāve got a decent Sony DSLR from my streaming days and I plan to incorporate it soon. 
Enjoy!

Any string is going to feel a little floppity or just wrong Vs what your used to tuned down a full step Vs a normal setup. I keep two basses tuned down 1/2 step and set up that way to eliminate any of this for KISS songs.
Your strings will work, just need a re-setup to feel a bit better.
Great job on this one @cheeze_pizza
I still donāt know how youāre banging these out so fast. Well done!

Thanks @John_E
This one took about 20 takes for me to get where we ended. Iām still shocked that I canāt come close to a good take on House of the Rising Sun 
Might move on to some Strokes for now.

That was great @cheeze_pizza! The tone and picking really worked. Nevermind sounded so fresh when it came it out. Had it on cassette, wore it out rewinding the crap out of it, trying to figure out riffs on a junky pawn shop guitar. We got it made these day 
Youāre gonna catch me next sometime next week at this rate, I better get going!

OK, I just had one take at this one so it is not good. But I move on. If I ever play in a band thats gonna cover this song, I will post a better version.

Pretty good anyway, bass could be a bit higher in the mix here.

Tnx, @John_E nice to hear that it is possible to do something this fast and get an OK result.
Itās been ages since I posted anything!
Well Iām here for song 16. Iām not doing them in order any more. Some songs I just donāt like to play! Leaving them for last, or maybe NEVER!
Anyway, hereās Wonderā¦noā¦Come as you Are
I added a touch of reverb in Resolve to try to get closer to Kristās sound. Lemmeno what you tink!

I skipped the down tuning and just played down a couple frets in standard tuning (hope thatās not illegal 
)
So not quite as written but I think it sounds decent and I donāt have to retune to play it now.
Also added some reverb and a hint of overdrive in audacity.
