Alright, guys... This is my humble attempt at playing bass. I'm a guitarist first and foremost. So I'm a real amateur on bass. (And on guitar, too if I'm being honest). Hopefully my playing wasn't too horrid?
Glad you included CD's James McGearty's work. Very underrated bassist for being so young and playing a fretless bass. I remember being 16 in my basement trying to figure that song out.
It would’ve been wrong to not include the bass line to Romeo’s Distress in this video. It’s an awesome punchy bass line. And I agree! I didn’t know he played a fretless bass. That’s a cool fact!
this is great! only recently discovered ur channel and its rly nice to see people who like this music, because im only 16 no one around me rly likes it
Hey - thanks! Yeah, I felt like that too when I was your age. I’m still on the young side for liking this type of music. Most fans of post-punk and goth are all in their late 40’s through 50’s now. I’m glad to see the youth discover these brilliant songs.
a good post punk bass line that I like is "Será por eso" by a Mexican band called 'Caifanes', I'd like you to listen to it and tell me what you think ;)
@@mrsleepykatcodm145 No, I do not… I figured it out by ear. It’s really not difficult to figure out. I did it in 30secs. Slow the video down to .5 and concentrate on each note. Don’t worry about playing the riff correctly just yet. Just find the root notes! Then, once you’ve done that-focus on the picking pattern.
WOW that was amazing! I liked and Subscribe, next I would love to see is what tone you used? because Shit! that the mind blowning part, you got a hell of a good ear!
@@MitchQuintana Specimen - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Virgin Prunes - baby turns blue, Killing Joke - Love like blood, The Cure - Fascination Street and especially! Tones on Nail - Movement of Fear. That Tones on Nail literally made me drop my jaw.
@@Pogokoala I got the tones for all of those songs by using Apple’s Logic Pro X amp simulators and digital effects pedals. The tones for all of those songs have the same base - a digital preset called “60’s combo” - which is basically a Ampeg bass stack preset. With each song I tweaked the knobs and settings on my bass. For “Baby Turns Blue” I added chorus as an effect. The rest are just simply my bass right into the 60’s combo bass amp preset with individualized tweaks on each song.
@@Pogokoala No, unfortunately… Logic Pro X is exclusive to Apple computers. There are other DAWs that work on PC, though. Pro Tools, Ableton, Cubase, Studio One, etc. There’s also guitar plugs-ins such as Guitar Rig that you could try!
Hi, No, unfortunately I don’t. I figured out how to play it by ear. Don’t underestimate your ear’s ability! This song’s bass line is very easy to figure out by ear. It’s played all on the A string. Watch my fingers in the video to see what frets I’m playing. From my memory I’m playing the open A string, then the 4th & 5th fret - THEN the open A string and then the 5th & 7th frets. Maybe if I have some time this weekend I can type out a tab. Good luck!
Thanks! You know - I’m not sure… I’m a guitarist, so I’m not sure how to tell if they are flatwounds or not. These strings have been on my bass since I bought it several years ago - I haven’t bothered to change them because I rarely play my bass.
Old video I know, don't care. I would have put "Something Inside Me Has Died" by Kommunity FK very close to the top of the list if not at the very top. Nothing wrong with your list, or your playing 😊

Hey now, we all gotta start somewhere ya know ? Practice makes perfection yes .
You played well dude :D
@@davidestrength4161 Thank you!
Don’t open yourself up to criticism by asking such a question. You’re good.
Love this. Goth music has the best bass.
Thanks! Yes, I agree! Goth and post punk definitely have the coolest/most creative basslines out of just about any genre.
absolutely true 🖤🥀🎸
Dam right!
Funk?
I was wondering how well does a jazz bass do in a post punk scenerio, and I'm sold
Yeah, they work well for Post Punk!
tbf any bass works for punk related music

Give a round of applause to Mitch Quintana on lead bass. The bomb!
Thank you, kind sir!
I really wanna get a bass guitar of my own, brilliant instrument. Good song choices, Mitch. Lucretia is my favourite.
You should if you can! I forget how much fun playing bass can be. Also, Lucretia, I feel, is the ultimate goth anthem.
i absolutely love the songs choices!!
Really nice song choices! And nice playing!
Thank you!
I became a fan after your The Mission Deliverance, guitar work
That was a fun one to do. Thank you, by the way!
That was my music. Saw all those bands live. Yeah.... getting older!
Awesome… I’m jealous! I’ve seen some of these bands in the modern era. But I’m afraid I’m too young to have seen them live back in the good ‘ole days.
Love it. I would add “Something Inside Me Has Died” by Kommunity FK.
Absolutely, no top 10 goth bassline list is complete without it.
Nice work ! Perfect tone for the genre.
Great list. I suggest you hear Lebanon Hannover and Selofan
poser goth
a good post punk bass line that I like is "Será por eso" by a Mexican band called 'Caifanes', I'd like you to listen to it and tell me what you think ;)
Love it!
Thanks!
These are great Mitch, what brilliant song choices
How did you get this perfect chorus sound?? wow
I just used one of Logic Pro X’s digital chorus pedals. Nothing too complicated.
👏 fantastic!!!
Thank you!
Decent mix
This is really good! 🥰
Awesome!
so cool
nice list!
Do you have the tabs for Sebastiane? I love the song and want to play it on bass, but I can't find tabs nor can I play by ear

In Goth we trust 🦇🦇🦇

Thank you so much! Which song in particular were you interested in knowing how I got the tone for?
@@MitchQuintana Specimen - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Virgin Prunes - baby turns blue, Killing Joke - Love like blood, The Cure - Fascination Street and especially! Tones on Nail - Movement of Fear. That Tones on Nail literally made me drop my jaw.

Finally someone mentions Arabian Knights
lovesong bass >>>> fascination street bass
does anyone know where i can find theres u cant find the first one
Hey do you have the bass tabs for Baby Turns Blue I don't know how to play by ear
Hi,
No, unfortunately I don’t. I figured out how to play it by ear. Don’t underestimate your ear’s ability! This song’s bass line is very easy to figure out by ear. It’s played all on the A string.

Delay and chorus?
6:00
Great Sound. Flatwound Strings?
Thanks! You know - I’m not sure… I’m a guitarist, so I’m not sure how to tell if they are flatwounds or not. These strings have been on my bass since I bought it several years ago - I haven’t bothered to change them because I rarely play my bass.
@@MitchQuintana rounds
Old video I know, don't care. I would have put "Something Inside Me Has Died" by Kommunity FK very close to the top of the list if not at the very top. Nothing wrong with your list, or your playing 😊
Most of these top 10s are 4 Cure Songs, 3 Joy Division Songs, 1 Bauhaus song and 2 "other" songs.
Well mine isn’t?
yeah those bands are awesome
