Doctor J Posted June 9 Posted June 9 (edited) New to this video game but figured I'd give it a lash. I'm not one for covers, though, so it's original basslines for The Homeball tunes. Sorry 😉 Edited June 9 by Doctor J 4 Quote
FlyStraight99 Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Very brief clip of me playing along to Peaches by the Stranglers (backing track on YouTube with no bass). Just to mess around with the tone & volume capacity of my piss poor 15w amp. Surprisingly I think I did well in capturing the JJ Burnel bass growl in this, although I’m just using a sonic P with stock pickups. 48a8d4db-1e07-4e08-b591-17de951a05b4.mov 2 Quote
Bilbothebassplayer Posted July 24 Posted July 24 (edited) Here’s my attempt at the monster tune Chromatic Fantasy by Bach but we all know it from Jaco ✌️ I first heard jaco’s version 10 years ago and believed I never could play something like that, but when I learnt the first two bars I was like “it bleeds! It can be slain” 😂 fast forward 20 hours and here we are. Edited July 24 by Bilbothebassplayer 2 Quote

Jay2U Posted July 24 Posted July 24 I had to figure out the bassline by ear, as all bass tabs I could find are 200% wrong. 1 Quote

jazzyvee Posted Wednesday at 00:12 Posted Wednesday at 00:12 Here are a couple that came up on FB today. They are two promo videos for the band Elizabeth Fields Collective. I joined the band after the tracks were recorded so a not playing on the tracks. Sadly the band leader passed away during covid from non covid related illness. 1 Quote
Russ Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago (edited) My first time doing a proper playthrough vid - this is me playing my band, Earthbound AD's new single, Ashes Of Paradise. Some six-string fretless metal action for you all. The video/audio sync does seem to drift a little as the video goes on though, which is weird. The audio is right, the bass recording is right, but the video doesn't quite match the sound, so I need to work out why that is. But I think it's a reasonable first attempt.

It may be a bit of a 'Dahu hunt', looking for the cause. I have noticed many times a 'slipping' of synchro, on my own and many other more professional videos, which I attribute to You-Tube itself, and for which there is no cure that I know of. It's not much of an issue in your video; it's more troublesome when trying to match what a drummer is doing, especially after twenty minutes of drift..! As for the video itself, I'll admit to not being an uber-fan of whatever brand of metal this is, but it certainly respects its genre. I have several audio systems here, and even through the 'big speakers', it's very difficult to distinguish the bass notes, as you're tuned down so low. This is not criticism; it's part of the genre. I expect, 'live' through a decent sub-equipped FOH system, the walls would tremble adequately. I'll admit, too, that I could distinguish little of the lyrics, but, that, too, is part and parcel, and anyway, I'm old, so... A Good Video, then, all the better for being your first (of many..?). Good Stuff, well done. Douglas Quote
