...it took me twenty years to nail down this bassline

Variations on Violent & Funky groove played by mighty Robert Trujillo in his Infectious Grooves era. Beast of a bassline.

I remember you were showing me this bass line, during one of your bass-guitar lessons 5 years ago, with a words "I am gonna nail it one day.." Well, that day has finally come. Very good job, sounds amazing 🤘

[@MrMarekbH]

Oh...thats sweet...thank you for this beautiful story, Adam. That's why I also love teaching...because of these stories and sharing an inspiration. Thank you & good luck on you bass journey.

[@profAlpha153]

Watching this I was like "Um, ok, looks tasty but nothing special or hard... alright... wait... dafu... OH, now I get it, seems legit". So, that's a really rad bassline for sure

[@MrMarekbH]

...well observed...I was obsessed with it for years and just couldn't nail down...however...still not happy but so far my best effort.

[@chalan90]

[@charlesrutledge647]

Don't know what the song is,,,,, but I think you NAILED it

[@lucasmegadeth]

If my memory serves, I think that's Violent And Funky, from Infectious Grooves. Fun fact, the bass player that recorded this was Rob from Metallica

[@richardsmailes7877]

Niiiice! I was more interested to find out what bass line could take so long to master. But bravo, awesome playing from a bassist to a bassist.

[@chrislang930]

That’s……..infectious.

Prove to us you can do it in 3 days at least. Then we'll see.

@@natureshamy Exactly, if you want to do something right, you can't Rush it.

[@rkan665]

How do you get that bass tone?

[@MrMarekbH]

20 years of practising ;)))

[@jonathanlim6454]

Man what's the signal chain? That tone is rich!

[@MrMarekbH]

Thank you...not much in the signal...straight into my audio interface and bit of a compression and stereo width in plugin section.

[@josephnaja]

Wow... I'm gonna move on to something a little bit easier like Ramble On lol

[@MrMarekbH]

Ramble On is so sweet...go for it ;)))

[@covingtoncreek]

Plucking with 3 fingers in the beginning? It's hard to see.

[@MrMarekbH]

Yes...three fingers in action.
