wild wild life bass cover
Bass cover of Talking Heads 1986 hit single 'Wild Wild Life'. I've always thought Tina Weymouth is a fantastic bass player, so this is my little homage to her.
This is a great bass line and its a huge amount of fun to play.
Hope you like it!

You're the One That I Want bass cover
Просмотров 13 тыс.3 года назад
Bass cover of the 1978 song 'You're The One That I Want' by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, which was a single release from the movie soundtrack album 'Grease'. This song was a chart hit pretty much everywhere on planet Earth, and reached #1 in the UK, US and lots of other places too. Quite a challenging bass line because of its fast pace, so I have simplified some passages to accommodate...

Nowhere Man Bass Cover

Bass cover of The Beatles 1965 song Nowhere Man. Sadly, after 8 attempts at re-mixing the audio track, this is the best that the Fun Police at RUclips Central will allow. So we have the backing track minus the intro and the vocals muted, but I think there is just about enough left to place the bass track in context. Enjoy.... and again sorry for the rubbish backing.
Rock The Boat - Bass Cover
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
Bass cover of the 1974 Hues Corporation hit 'Rock The Boat'. I always thought that James Jamerson played on this record, but after a little bit of investigation it turns out that the original bass part was played by another Motown bassist, Wilton Felder. Not an easy song to play properly, and I'm not really sure I've nailed this one, but I wanted to give it a try anyway. Hope you like it. Bass:...

Mamma Mia Bass Cover

Bass cover of Abba's 1975 hit 'Mamma Mia', which featured on the album 'ABBA' ( also titled 'I do, I do, I do, I do, I do' in some countries). As one of the band's bigger hits, this is also the song that spawned the movie franchise. It is also one of the few Abba records that their regular bassist Rutger Gunnarsson did not play on; the original bass track on this song was played by British bass...

We'll Never Have to say Goodbye Again - Bass Cover
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.3 года назад
Bass cover of England Dan & John Ford Coley's 1978 single 'We'll Never Have to say Goodbye Again'. This song was a minor hit in the US and Canada, but failed to chart elsewhere, despite extensive radio airplay. The original bass track was played by Joe Osborn, who was well known for his distinctive pick style playing on all of the Carpenters records. He used a pick on this track too, but I don'...
Toast and Marmalade For Tea - BASS COVER
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.4 года назад
Toast and Marmalade for Tea was a 1970 hit single by Australian band Tin Tin. The song was written my Maurice Gibb, and he also played the original bass line on the record. Short and sweet, this one. So I made a bit of a production out of the video. Enjoy :) Bass: Fender 50s re-issue Precision Strings: DR Legend Flatwounds
GET UP AND BOOGIE - Bass Cover

Silver Convention were a German 'Euro-pop' outfit which had some huge chart hits in in the mid 70s. in 1976 they had a chart success with 'Get up and Boogie', which like its predecessor 'Fly Robin Fly' was a hypnotic repetition of the same phrase over and over. But having said all that..... its still a catchy little 70s disco tune, so I hope you enjoy my bass cover of it. Bass: Fender Elite ser...

    Not a bass player but I think most notes dont connect to the song as it is originally. Can you isolate the bass and listen to Macca's playing? Some videos online are beatles bass isolated as a title. Check that out. Plus I think youre playing lead bass here, too much play as the bass is to highlight the others . Just try to set the song with whats needed, too little not good, too much not good either. On another note Sarah, I can only hope to one day play bass!

    My timing is as good as it gets, once I have the timing for a song, I can lock in, no matter when or where. I can tell when I'm a hair off as well. Your on beat hits are on time, but some of your in between notes aren't quite there. Like the notes are right, but missing the feeling that comes with, like you are not quite flowing. Maybe you should consider changing the strings you use or a slight tone adjustment. I don't think you should stop putting these out, or stop playing at all. I commend you for even doing this AND asking for critic. Do not stop doing this, ESPECIALY, if you enjoy it. Chin up. ........................Another note, I'm not crazy about this bass line for this song. it seems a little busy at times for the song, but that is just my opinion. Music is art, enjoy yourself. 👍
