I wish I was punk enough to do this for a living, wow this is incredibly fun to play! Took a while to get up to speed. I might start a petition to move this to the “level 3” category 
Original is picked, so I tried to keep my plucking aggressive throughout.
Technical Stuff: Fernandes J Bass (100% neck, 25% bridge, 100% tone) => Behringer BDI-21 DI => DAI. Added some Compression and EQ in post.

Good gravy these fast songs give me agita.
Won’t be trying this any time soon.
You however, did GREAT. Tone timing everything.
Niceness.

Thanks John_E,
You’re good with a pick, so it might be easier if you alternate pick it, but yeah, it was definitely harder than Billie Jean IMO.
…as soon as I learn how to alternate pick I will, lol.
I actually need alternate picking for the 2-string slide stuff on Morphine tunes to make it sound cleaner and I’m working on it from snails pace up.

Not super happy with this, but all the time I have for weekend bass fun. My attempt at Rancid: Time Bomb.
I think its pretty decent, but I drop a few 16th notes at the end.

Last of the Level 2 Songs! This one took a lot of time at slower tempos to work up to the speed of the chorus parts. Glad it’s a short song. These punk songs have definitely been troublesome!

Took me some time to get this right, but think it turned outOK. Also tried to zoom in on the playing a couple of times, don’t think I nailed that as well.

Guess you finished this up just after the Zoom!
This sounds FANTASTIC @Johnnyb.
Really well done and your fingers look very relaxed.
Nice video editing as usual, you sure do more on that than I care to bother to, lol.

Thank you so much, @John_E! Nice to hear that you like how it turned out. Hehe, yes, I have to focus more on the playing, but I think both are fun.
