Here’s my rendition using the adjusted tab in my post a few posts above this. Used the neck pickup only with tone all the way down and tried to play closer to the end of the fretboard for a more upright sound.
I love playing the blues so this was right up my street. Had it memorized in about 5 minutes as it is a standard blues form. That being said, it wasn’t a perfect recording, but I think I did good enough to move on to the next one.
Excellent job @JT! Love the new bass (had not mentioned that yet!!).
And, great job on taming the right leg. LoL If I could only do that with my “wandering pinky.”
Thanks. I really have to try not to move my right leg. It’s my go to for beat tracking for sure. Was tempted to just stand up.
I am loving the bass, but haven’t really explored it much yet. Or the new pedals I have. I really need to dig into tone more. Just need to dedicate some time to that, but everytime I have my bass out, I just want to play instead of mess with dials. 
My next “goal” is to stand up and play!! Hahahaa
So, I have the B1X Four, which allows me to dial in the exact tuning. It seems 435Hz is close, but I didn’t have time to listen for exact match on pitch.
Anyone else figure out the correct reference?
I get a bit lost in all the hertz stuff so I just used that online tuner I linked, even though I have a fancy strobe tuner.
Not sure if this is right, but when A is 440hz, G# is 415hz. G# is a half-step lower than A and the difference is 25, so a quarter step lower would be half that, or 12.5., which would get you to 427.5. Again though, that could be completely wrong! The difference between a C# and an D is only 16.5hz, so it doesn’t seem to be flat across all half-steps. There is a table on this page that I’m looking at, but it’s all gibberish to me.
I’ll record it tomorrow between starting the oven and getting the sourdough in to bake.
It sounds about right at 435Hz, so we’ll see how it goes.
Love the pink @JT!! Good job…
Nice job @JT, love the bass.
I can understand what you are saying. And that is not a knock on the song, or Johnny Cash, it is a great song, but the repetition, I know is great practice, but that is what it feels like, practice (aka homework) more so then playing something with some tempo changes. Just my opinion, and I happen to agree with you.
I also love that picture @Barney , 
Thanks for the kind words guys, much appreciated:
@TNKA36 @JerryP @John_E @JT
Kilt will be back for HTH \m/
It wouldn’t be proper without the kilt!! 
Alright, I didn’t click with this one, I get that is the estructure of a 11? Bar blues but it doesn’t feel like the blues… anyways here’s my piece, to keep the challenge going… a countdown timer would have helped me smooth the start
On to hell next!
Here is my effort. JD Folsom Prison Blues Bass Cover_050321 - YouTube
Tone turned all the way down on the P-Bass with the La Bella Flats and the Bass all the way up on the Ampeg B210.
Still a few flubs (fret buzz namely - guess I should have just tried one finger per fret although I still haven’t perfected my version of the @JoshFossgreen finger roll - but I am sure there were more mistakes).
YT says “partially blocked” so y’all let me know if you cannot get to it. Guess I may have to start a Vimeo account as some of y’all have.
@Reo Great effort, the simpler the song the harder to do well.
The start point is tricky, a miss here but you corrected back in fine.
A bit ahead of the beat, try ‘laying back’ a bit.
It is very easy to get ahead on things so repetitive.
Do you practice with a metronome? I know its a very boring thing to do but very necessary to get good timing. I always run a metronome even if I don’t need it, for exercises, etc. it really helps.
I like this guy here because its loud, simple and is not on your phone that you can be distracted by or need to use for other music fun.
@JDDaniel
If you haven’t named that bass yet I would propose Thumper! That is some amazing low end thump!
Nice job again. Love those LaBella flats!!!
