The Smiths - This Charming Man (Bass Cover)

RIP Andy Rourke. This one was a bitch to get right.
The original song audio is a bit flat, so I used my DAW to tune it up about half a semitone. And I went with a capo on 2 rather than tuning my strings up to F# standard.
Equipment:
Fender P-Bass Special Deluxe
TCE Spectra Comp
Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI

The Smiths' basslines are heavily underrated.

[@CreamedCorn2002]

Theyre actually highly rated. Do you know what overrated means

[@thoughtbubble3010]

@AlexHenry-hh8yj ah, an opinion vs an opinion. The smiths are for sure highly rated but I think the bass playing is overlooked by most

[@olli.tiainen]

​@@CreamedCorn2002 I rarely see anyone praise Andy Rourkes basslines even tho the band is so popular

[@ROCKSTARS_HQ]

Love the tone and impressive picking! More Smiths/Morrissey! Barbarism Begins at Home has an excellent bassline!!!!

[@thekorn09]

Thank you! I love the Barbarism bassline and will definitely consider doing a cover

[@elaada8116]

I've been waiting😝

[@DRUMMERMIKE]

Great cover dude. Played exactly like it is on record. There’s a band that practices down the hall from me on Tuesday nights that covers this and I swear the smiths are next door ❤

[@takemebacktothen]

Crazy how much more gear is needed to play the guitar parts of their songs compared to bass. Great cover!

[@Dani-El.]

Guitar, amp, maybe a chorus pedal.

I've never seen a bass with a capo lol

[@lelk5463]

Are you taking the piss mate? A bloody capo?

[@thekorn09]

Idk what you're talking about. I made sure to clean the blood off of it before I recorded
