Okay. I did not balance the audio I was playing to well with my own amp volume. Might re-record this to give a better representation at a later date. For now, I figure this gets across what Iām doing, and you all know what the original sounds like.
The controlled feedback goes better with the full band when I can really crank up the amp volume.

I would like to hear it with a better mix but was very cool anyway 
I liked the bass rhythm bit you came up with during the marching (around 130)

Thanks. Iāll re-record at some point, but I think my wife was tired of hearing me do that over and over.
The key thing I did on that verse 2 bit is, I hold my left hand fingers just close enough that they arenāt muting the string flat, but it touches my fingertips at the apex of its vibration.

Mix isnāt as important as playing. Only re record to show playing improvement.
I do hear a bit of timing issues throughout. Something to work on.
Nice āinterpretationā of the line. Made a boring riff more interesting.

For this cover, I decided to play up the neck, but use the octaver setting on a Zoom B1four to get the bass note I wanted. While the bass (my travel Hofner Shortie) isnāt the greatest, I think it actually sounds ok and the zoom tracked the notes pretty well.
Hofner Shortie, through the Zoom B1four, then into the Scarlett Solo, then on into GarageBand.

You are putting some quick rests in between notes that donāt have them in the original, not sure if on purpose or by mistake.
Otherwise, sounds great!

Intentional, @john_E, I like to āownā a base line. That means I sometimes change things a bit (or a lot 
). In all seriousness, Iām not trying to create facsimiles, but play as I feel.
With this song, my intention was to explore the octaver angle, whilst accepting that I was playing a pretty cr@p bass through a cheap Zoom pedalā¦
