Really sorry to hear about your Dad, I hope you were able to spend a bit of time with him before he passed. Great job on that. Iām playing with this one - Itās a lesson in perseverance playing that groove over and over and over. It gets fast at the end too and you did a great job adjusting to the timing. Awesome

Thanks @John_E - been doing Ari Capās Cohort and that has helped a great deal. We are doing blues and Mixolydian this unit and this song just fits right into that scene! Cheers
One thing about these Forums is that Iām learning a lot more of these āUrban Dictionaryā entries!
They say itās hard to teach an old dog new tricks . . . and I believe theyāre right
Cheers

I had no idea either @Jazzbass19 Joe
Going back to my first bass, Squire Jazz (although the only original parts are the neck, body and pickguard (with blackened out edge).
This is still one of my favorite basses.
Still a little VT Bass DI SVT used.
More bridge than neck, tone up and mids boosted a bit.

Sounds great @John_E! Very nice playing and timing. I really like the way your tone cuts through the mix on this one. Iām finding myself starting to dig the Jazz Bass sound more and more these days.

Hey all, hereās my SRV cover, fun little groove. I skipped over this one originally because I have some kind of irrational hatred for retuning. Was able to hack Floyd and Nirvana and do them in standard, but not this one. The Aerosmith song I covered a few weeks ago ended up being in Eb, and that pushed me to get over it. Maybe some VH and GNR covers coming soon while Iām down here 
Thanks for listening
