Bass covers of some of my favourite tracks.
Steeleye Span - Little Sir Hugh Bass Cover
Steeleye Span - Little Sir Hugh from Commoners Crown (Chrysalis 1975). The first Steeleye album I heard and an absolute belter, with some major favourites like Long Lankin and this tune.
Little Sir Hugh opens the album, and Rick Kemp's bass leads the way. He is my favourite bass player and this song is a good demonstration of why. The bass is high in the mix and bursts in with a growling melody before settling in to provide a rumbling, driving line for the rest of the song.
This cover is not note-perfect, but I think a fairly close interpretation.
Playing my Cort B4-Plus AS RM. A rubbish name for a really great bass.

Metallica - Don't Tread On Me Bass Cover
Переглядів 6 тис.4 роки тому
Metallica - Don't Tread On Me from Metallica/The Black Album (Elektra 1991). I listened to this album like mad growing up and Jason Newsted was, and is, a big influence. His playing is so aggressive, with a huge sound. When you listen to live or isolated tracks this really comes through. I've tried to replicate Newsted's ferocious down picking, but a few upstrokes might have snuck in... This co...

Soundgarden - Switch Opens Bass Cover
Переглядів 3154 роки тому
Switch Opens from Down on the Upside (A&M Records 1996). A really interesting track from a really interesting album. Ben Shepherd wrote some great songs for the album, this one included, and there are some fun bass lines to play. This cover is not note-perfect, but I think a fairly close interpretation. I'm a bit concerned that my bass is mixed too low, so I might re-record this one at some sta...
Steeleye Span - Thomas the Rhymer Bass Cover
Переглядів 5544 роки тому
Steeleye Span - Thomas the Rhymer from Now We Are Six (Chrysalis 1974). The first album with Nigel Pegrum as full-time drummer and a great song showcasing the Steeleye folk rock sound. Hard hitting drums, distorted guitar and grinding bass with complex vocal harmonies, flute and fiddle! The year before they went big with All Around My Hat. Rick Kemp is my favourite bass player. His playing with...
Steeleye Span - Awake Awake Bass Cover
Переглядів 3204 роки тому
Steeleye Span - Awake Awake from Storm Force Ten (Chrysalis 1977). A really great album with John Kirkpatrick and Martin Carthy providing a sound quite unlike the peak mid-70s Steeleye albums. Rick Kemp is my favourite bass player. His playing with Steeleye provided a solid rock base and some very interesting melodic lines, always while sitting high in the mix. In Awake Awake his tone is quite ...
I know this video is 4 years old but I would love they tab. It is great!
Nice playing man! I'm gonna use your video to learn this song 👍
@@eoghanconlon6027 thanks mate, enjoy learning it!
Great tone duuuuuude
Thanks mate, much appreciated
Thanks! 🙂😎
I’m pretty sure thats aria pro black n gold the bass CLIFF used great bass dude
Bass is 5 cents sharp old chap
hey, this cover is great.. I am learning this song at the minute for a cover and I can't find tabs for it anywhere. I'm awful at learning by ear - do you have this tabbed out at all? Thanks!
Thanks, much appreciated. I don't have it tabbed out I'm afraid, but there may be the chords set out somewhere online. I learned it by ear, and because the bass is so nice and clear in the mix it really helped. Good luck!
Brilliant, a great folk rock cover of a classic folk song.
Much appreciated, cheers!
Great playing!
Thanks Colonel, appreciate that!
Do you use pedals???Because it sounds very goooood!!😯🤯
Thanks! No pedals, it was recorded direct via a boss micro br80 interface. The bass is active, can't remember the settings sorry, just played with a heavy pick and as aggressively down picking as I could manage!
@@laxtonssuperb8771 Thanks you!
still one of my favourite songs to play on bass
Your tone is awesome
Thanks a lot! I love Jason Newsted's massive tone on the Black Album.
Incredible cover :0
Thanks, really appreciate that!
Sounds like an enchanced bass edittion :D
duuuuude amazing. You inspire me to get better at playing, keep it up! ❤️🔥
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that!
Tone tutorial
Badass!
Cheers!
Amazing! Would love to see tabs for that, please.
Appreciate that thanks! I don't have tabs I'm afraid, but if you search for Steeleye chords there is a steeleye.freeservers website where somebody has uploaded loads of chord charts. I worked out the bass line from the chords and by ear.
That's some good burpy fat tone
Thanks a lot, really appreciated.
DON'T TREAD ON ME!!! 🤘🏻
Do you have the tabs?
Hi, yes I do but in the Tab book I bought years ago. Somebody has uploaded Black Album isolated tracks on here. They really helped so I'd suggest giving that a go by ear maybe with some tabs available online.
@@laxtonssuperb8771 thanks
Where did you get the tabs from/can you put a link to the tabs? Btw great cover Really shows the amazing bass line
Thanks I really appreciate that, and agreed it's a great bass line. I found the Black Album bass Tab book in a shop years ago so I can't send a link I'm afraid! If you search 'Don't Tread On Me bass' on here somebody has uploaded great isolated versions of the bass and drums together, they helped a lot too.
Great cover,love it👍👍
