Fantastic playing! So many covers over the years have played the bass part, as doubling the guitar part in the opening riff. So great to hear this masterfully written bass part played, well...masterfully. Your tone is just pure balls. Nice.
its 90% correct but he plays most of the breakdown wrong unfortunately, not saying i could do any better, but yeah the breakdown is played VERY different to the recording here.
@@yoshikigrg8 Thing is you can still hear it, like in Orion. You can hear it pretty well in the og MoP track better than anything on AFJA or The Black Album
This is like the best I’ve ever seen someone play, not only this song but the bass overall. Your fingers are like actual picks. And the sound of that bass is amazing
Like im telling everybody, the bass riff is totally different with the guitar riff, and this came up, what a relief, im not alone. Super dope cover mate.
Trujillo plays the B-C-C# along with the geetar it’s kinda funny. Meanwhile I’m in a tribute band as Jason and can’t figure out if this fucker’s down picking the whole thing lol
Ive heard this cover played many times by many players over the years but not 1 of them matched your tone and technique. Thats got to be the rawest, ballsiest version of Master ive heard yet and it sounded f**kin phenomenal!!! Very well done!!!
MoP goes hard! Always. It honours the original and adds some real nice subtle technical flavors into the depth. really cool video and phenomenal finger style playing.
Man, that part at 6:20 still kicks my ass, even after loads of practice. I've got the entire song down except for that one part and it drives me nuts! haha. I have a simplified way to play it if I must, but I hate chickening out. Gotta keep practicing I guess!
I always use this video whenever I have to relearn the bass parts. Killer sound, what impulse response did you use?? Id love to get a similar sound live with my microtubes infinity. Cheers!
Interesting thing is that there is a subtle fallacy in this reasoning I write music as well and it took me a while to realise this Now don't get me wrong, this bass part is absolutely awesome However, the idea that it "goes so well with the guitars" is an emergent property of your own perception, and not Cliff's. Because you have always heard those guitars with that bassline laid out in the background. Even if you couldn't hear it clearly, your perception of the guitar has always been comfortably resting on that bass groove, and therefore that bassline is implied in the way you hear the guitars, so of course when you hear it clearly you think it is the perfect bassline. There could have been 100000 other basslines that compliment the guitars well, but this one is the one that sounds familiar and true, not because of itself, but because it is the one that was printed on the record. What you call "the guitars" doesn't exist in a vacuum. You do not know what the guitars could have sounded like without the bass, and you never will. Because the bass deeply affects how you perceive everything above it (and there are a million tracks that demonstrate that, with the guitar playing the same thing twice while the bass changes for example). "But what do you mean, rambling stranger?? Of course I know what it sounds like, I can go listen to the guitar riff without the bass, you dumb fuck" No, you can't. The only way you could is if you had never heard the song with the bass. If you find someone who has never listened to that song, you can show them the guitar part in isolation and they will hear exactly that, the guitar part. But you, my dear fellow, will always have the bassline in your head, whether you know it or not. When you hear the guitars in isolation, something will be missing. Something that completes the harmony in your memories of this song, something you are so used to that it feels off without it. So when you hear the bassline, you think "THAT! THAT EXACTLY WAS MISSING!". But the truth is, our brain is pretty much unable to think of anything else because the bass is an integral part of how we understand this melody, how we feel it, how we think it "should" be. Now, don't get me wrong (again), a bassline can be better or worse. But that is an extremely complicated thing to discuss and I'm kinda too lazy to go into a whole essay here xD
Thank you for doing this. I always needed a visual on some things like that minor second. Kept me second guessing myself for a long time. Why would he do that? Now, I accept it as just part of his genius.
Awesome cover, man!! One of, if not, the best bass covers I've ever heard of this song. Just realized I have to relearn a few bits, but that's okay!! Awesome job.
Spector and Darkglass is an awesome combination, I use them both as I play a Spector Euro 5LX and I have the Darkglass Harmonic Booster and the Microtubes B7K Ultra as well as having the Alpha Omega 900 head and a 4x10 Darkglass cabinet
@@ionehkontehdiabo7627 Definitely the best bass guitar rig I've ever used. Also got the Seymour Duncan Studio Bass Compressor and a Peterson StroboStomp HD tuner on the pedalboard
@@ionehkontehdiabo7627 I can definitely recommend it, very versatile and responsive compression pedal. I picked one up after seeing a video of Alex Webster of Cannibal Corpse using one on his pedalboard. His setup influenced mine which goes StroboStomp HD to Harmonic Booster to SD Bass Compressor to Microtubes B7K Ultra
So, possibly a really stupid question! But just asking as someone who is trying to get back into learning and playing: Is he strumming downwards on certain notes as opposed to the normal finger technique? Or is that just my eyes playing tricks on me? Thanks to any answers and apologies if it's a silly question.
I’d love to have the real tabs, never found anything played as close as this to the Cliff’s version! Could you please share a PDF or guitar pro file so we can play the real thing? Even the authorized paper versions don’t sound like this...
Great!!! Good !!!!!! what a good sound you achieved for this great song !!! Best Metallica Album !!!! which Cabsim did you wear ??? I don't have the vintage, but I do have the B7KU! I'm going to try to get that sound on my Spector !! which Cabsim did you wear? the treble and bass of the Spector are flat, right?
I am a Guitarist been playing for 30 years , have considered playing Bass because there is a high need for Bass players in Bands. I wonder easy would be to switch.

Sounds great man

Nice.
lol this is the original bass part? i've been living a lie all these years haha
he just made the bass louder :-))
Unfortunately Jason and Rob double the guitar. I prefer Cliff approach. Kind of sounding more heavier and agressive
how fucking good man cliff was a genius he knew how to be one yet stand the bass out from the main riff so fkn sick.
@@patwilsontrudeautanguayall5810 it basically becomes a heavy fuckin power chord riff with the way Cliff played it. Really smart writing
20 years of internet and the first guy who knows how to play it, eventually.
its 90% correct but he plays most of the breakdown wrong unfortunately, not saying i could do any better, but yeah the breakdown is played VERY different to the recording here.
I like the primus version a lot
@A I agree it’s a cover put your twist on it you know
@@xremembrance1474 But im sure that if you played this on Bass it would be worst
With decent tone at least
That mix is better than the original as far as I'm concerned. Love it, thanks guys!
In the original tracks, the producers purposely lowered the bass volume. I still don't understand why till this day.

Absolutely killer cover dude. Playing is tight, tone is brutal! What more could one ask for in a bass cover!
Keep up the great work!
The plucking hand is amazing to watch
Like im telling everybody, the bass riff is totally different with the guitar riff, and this came up, what a relief, im not alone.

Well, it‘s not totally different. 80 % are identical….
@@a.g.4843 its like 60% maximum dude

@@GinoBtheman Newsted downpicks everything, just like James. That's how they sounded so heavy.
@@yourface3154 fuck me, those wrist muscles
Lots of bass covers of Orion on RUclips, yours is by far the best IMO. 👍🎸❤
i've finally found a bass cover of Master Of Puppets that actually sounds like the original songs
Ive heard this cover played many times by many players over the years but not 1 of them matched your tone and technique. Thats got to be the rawest, ballsiest version of Master ive heard yet and it sounded f**kin phenomenal!!! Very well done!!!

@@TexturaI Honestly, no I haven't, but I haven't been practicing it much lately. I think I'm getting too old for this shit, haha.
The Cliff gallops remind so much of Dan Lilker stunning interp Josh CLEAN!
Best version I ever heard - Cliff would be proud
Spector basses have been in the shadows & killing it for years. Most underrated basses imo. Would never part with mine.
Agreed with that, I have a Euro 5LX and it is the best bass I have ever played
I wouldn't say they're in the shadows but yes they make killer sounding bass.
After I watched this video, my E and A strings filed for divorce and walked out on me.
I always use this video whenever I have to relearn the bass parts. Killer sound, what impulse response did you use?? Id love to get a similar sound live with my microtubes infinity. Cheers!
Truth is that I listen this cover rather than original ... absolutely amazing tone and play!!
Saw someone mention this song being a nightmare to play on bass lol nice job!!!
His fingers is so quickly!
trujillo tone
Man does that spector ever sound incredible. Great cover, thanks for posting this video.

Man, I've been on the treadmill for an hour listening to your covers. Lost track of time. I need to practice more. Very inspiring.
смотрел недавно Симпсонов, где он на басу играл. дядька, ты б его отлично в экранизации этой серии сыграл бы!!! very cool!!!
You make me know how Metallica should sound. Amazing job dude!
Josh DuBois - my new bass guitar hero!!!
Amazing work, man!
Cliff would shake your hand
Its the bassist not the bass guitar that gave beauty to the cover. This is also a very good marketing strategy to promote effects. Perfect Job!!!
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this guy crush this whole album. RIP Cliff.
absolutely fantastic work. god tier stuff right there
So on the verse riff its a slide from A# to A instead of a pull off?
Нереально круто!! Вдохновляет!! Спасибо!!
this is the greatest bass cover of any song on youtube. i'm in awe right now. holy shit.
All these dudes complimenting his tone... NO SHIT! ITS SPECTOR AND DARKGLASS. ITS FUCKING AWESOME LOL
