Great job @JerryP. I’d say you have an unconventional fretting technique, but it works for you. 
Sounded spot on to me.
Also great job @TNKA36 - the only thing I would say is, to me, I just wish the bass was louder in the mix. Points for authenticity tho.
Great job as well @TK-421 - I like the descending bit you added at the end.
Cheers to you all - well done.
@Jazzbass19 Thanks, Joe! I’ve fallen in love with this bass; it’s a MIJ Geddy Lee signature.
@JT Thank you! I’ve only been playing bass for 1 year but I’ve been playing the drums for many, many years… so that helps 
Agreed I need to crank up the bass! I always get a little self-conscious when the bass is up too high!
@JerryP Thanks, Jerry! That’s so funny… I didn’t realized that the whole bass was moving like that I’m so used to moving my legs from drumming it’s just second nature!
@skydvr Thank you! It seemed like the bass line needed just a little flourish at the end.
@John_E john Thanks, John! I’m using Dunlop flats and I had my bass tone at about 50% “on”; my amp (Ampeg BA-210) was: bass 5.5, mids: 4.5, treble: 4.5, with the “Ultra Low and Ultra High” buttons engaged. I’ve heard great things about Labella flats… I’ll have to check them out!
It’s waiting its turn to get into the Challenge.
Nice job @TK-421,
love the tone from your bass and you looked really relaxed and right on point.
Cheers Brian
@akos Nice job on BMR! Super solid like the first Week and killer tone.
@John_E Nice work on BMR! I love the bass and the tone. You definitely are getting the Motown sound; love it!
@BigAl Solid take on BMR! Nicely done. I love that bass… what is it?
@JerryP Nice job on BMR! You look super comfortable. Love the bass and the tone… and nice editing!
@TNKA36 Nice take on BRM! You sounded great and it looked like you really enjoyed playing this tune!
Thanks, It’s a CB basses "S"30"short scale bass.
Hi Guys,
Please find the link below for the corrected version of Bad Moon Rising.
I wasn’t paying attention to the written music and played natural C’s & E’s instead of the correct Sharpened notes.
So I just re recorded it again using the Stingray, and increased the volume in the mixing of the track.
Its all good practice, 
Hope this one sounds better,
Cheers Brian

Sounds great Brian!
Thanks Jerry @JerryP,
At least it is correct now, I would not feel right if I didn’t fix it up👍
Cheers Brian
Interesting… I’m curious, what did you feel was unconventional about it? 
Just the way you have your thumb over the top and curl your fingers around the bottom of the neck. Not a critique - just not what I’m used to “seeing”.
I agree it’s not “the norm”, but it’s more common than you probably think. Some play this way and actually play notes on the E string with their thumb. I think people with larger hands are more prone to doing this.
@skydvr, @JT,
I have very large hands and I use my thumb strictly to mute the E string. It is what I am used to doing at this point, but I was curious that you spotted that. No one else ever mentioned that before.
@akos - just realized I had missed yours because I was still working on ABitW when you posted it. Very nice job - like the tone and you nailed the timing.
Are you not using the transcriptions from “50 first songs”? I saw elsewhere you mentioned that the tab is mostly 8th notes followed by 8th note rests, and the tab I’m using is mostly quarter notes. Plus it sounded like you had a couple little extra flourishes in there that isn’t in the transcription I’m using… Just curious…
@TNKA36 - I think the re-record sounds great. Another nice job - great mixing in that one.
Very valid question. I asked the same thing half a year ago when I first learned this song, see my question and Gio’s reply in this thread.
In short: the tab is showing quarter notes, but if you listen to the song, you’ll hear that the guy is playing 8th notes. Gio’s explanation was that the note durations are usually not exact in modern music transcriptions. You are expected to listen to the song and figure out how long each note should be played.
By the way this is the case with ABITW as well. Take a look at the first bar of the repeating pattern for example (with the dotted quarter note), and listen to the song. That’s a quarter note and an eighth note rest in the song, not a dotted quarter note. And beat 3 is not a quarter note either, it’s an eighth note.
Those might have been mistakes then, because other than the above, I thought I was following the transcription. 
Which parts(s) are you referring to?
From another thread:
@locket - I just started learning this song today. The trick to this song is clearly in the 1/8th note sections. The rest is just strumming quarter notes, which is pretty straight-forward I think. I also think the 1/8th note sections feel a bit harder, because we get stuck in that quarter note groove and the sometimes require string crossing. I personally am going to just take those 1/8th note sections on their own and practice them until I have them in a good place, then go back to the full song. I think that will do the trick for me personally.
