Smashing Pumpkins - Geek U.S.A. - Bass Cover

Love the heavier Pumpkins stuff..
My setup and recording method is: Stock MIM Fender Jazz into a Billy Sheehan signature drive, audio interface, FL studio, effected with an Amplitube 4/SVX-PRO VST, then back out through to my Canon 70D with a 24-105mm lens. This was done in one take, no edits, overdubs or miming, so there might be a few imperfections.

I think Billy did these bass tracks

[@bbbrianwilliams]

first thing that grabbed me was that dirty tone, well done

[@nicksal24]

This sounds badass!! Sick tone, articulate rhythms, and very well played

[@ralgex]

Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it.

If someone got rid of the video and told me this was the actual track with the original bass turned up, I’d believe them; your playing is just that tight!

[@ralgex]

Thank you, I appreciate that.

[@fabianpamplona6709]

Beautiful tone and awesome playing bro! c:

Thank you, I appreciate that 👍

This is excellent, the bass solo bit at about 4 minutes is one of the reasons I finally got a bass.

[@ralgex]

This is awesome, Mark. Do you have any plans to do some covers at any point in the future? Thank you for the comment, means a lot to me.

[@hippiemark01]

@@ralgex I've owned my bass for 3 weeks now, I'm slowly fumbling my way through a handful of riffs while searching for a tutor (they all seem to be on summer break) but I'd really like to learn "Dragonaut" by Sleep, "Brown Paper Bag" by Roni Size/ Represent and this obviously (thought this seems quite hard).

So good! Would love to see a bass cover of Tales of a Scorched Earth

[@ralgex]

Thanks! Funny you should mention that, as I was almost going to do it a short while ago. Probably still will when life eases off a bit because that track is explosive. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you!

[@hvitserklothbro8298]

how do i remove the bass in the music so i can cover it?

[@ralgex]

I never remove it, just make sure my bass is louder in the mix than the music.

[@alhadiirfan312]

tabs?
