I decided to go back to the 50 song challenge songs and challeng myselfâŚ
The challange:
Try to learn one song and record it all in a single day.
Never did that before. Not the hardest of songs for sure, but fun.
I did not like the original bassline tone at all, so decided to play a bit.
Both pickups in use, little bass boost, little treble cut, little VT Bass DI SVT on top.
Current strings on the MM are Rotosound 45 RB45s, nice clang which I tried to tame a bit for the tune but peeks through a bit too.
I also tried a fret wrap for the first time, just to get rid of some of the upper âzingâ. It does work for just that.

Great job on this @John_E ! I like the tone you came up with a lot. The original has some kind of octave + synthetic fart thing going on that doesnât really do it for me either

Thanks @dlamson13
Yeah I was originally trying to match and then thought âwhy?â.

So here is my Gorillaz cover, itâs a fun song to play, and also lets you squeeze in coffee breaks between parts. Annoyed with the tuning though, itâs somewhere between Eb and D, did my best to match it by ear.

Yeah, itâs not standard tuning, down a half step

I should add that rather than tuning my bass down a half step, I play the Eb on the A string then just use the shape. Sounds really good there too.

Thatâs a good idea, definitely sounds good up an octave. My issue with the tuning was that to my ear, the bass in original was playing flatter than Eb, between the Eb and D. Not a full quarter step, but close. The consensus on the internet is that itâs plain old Eb so this is probably just in my head
I think so. I didnât have this issue.

Yeah, in my head, your cover sounded great
Another fun one. Also my first foray into playing with reverb! Hope I wasnât too heavy-handed with it but I think it sounds pretty cool in context.

Whoops 
Iâm a ways off yet from trying this one but I just looked at the score sheet that came with the Zip and it seems to be formatted 6 columns wide instead of the standard 4. I canât figure out how to change that. Does anyone have this in a 4 column layout?
Reason? Eyesight isnât what it used to be to see the little type.
