High time I said I really enjoy these challenges by Dave and Cici. Great chemistry and genuinely funny exchanges. Dave covers an amazing range of playing styles, and I've learned how to listen to bass more precisely from Cici. Always worth the view.
Great Job Cici + Dave!! Back in 1981 I was 14 years and the Police came to my Hometown Ruesselsheim/Germany. I just hat discovered Music and was there. The Police just had just released their recording "Ghost in the Machine". I remember standing just a few meters away from the stage and they played a stellar concert. That was the most amazing kickoff for my musical journey that I could think of. Thanks for reminding me of that very impressive experience 👍
Absolutely LOVE the videos with Cici and Dave, they’re a fantastic duo. This must have been a tough one but I thought the results were excellent. Seriously good job guys 😎
Cici, you're not loud enough in my ears. I can barely hear you when Dave is playing. Nonetheless well done! Now, next about Neil Young with Crazy Horse??? PLEASE!!!
Absolutely loved this . Big fan of The Police and Dave sold me on these pedals 😊 eyes closed I couldn't have told you this was a budget video at all . The excellent playing helped too 😁
Well done ... again ... nailed it Just wondering: me did expect the JC-22 to enter the stage ... not avail or U no likey That Bass is just lovable ... as is the Mistress of 4 stings 🤗 Anyway ... cudos
Nailed the guitar sound, but, as mentioned, I imagine flats on that bass would have been a wise move. I use them on my Greco Pbass with a Rumble 200W combo (15" speaker) a set up which really holds down the bottom end in my classic rock band. Hope the flood is becoming a more distant memory btw Cici.
The Police one of the best trio's of all time and Andy Summers is a phenomenal guitar player and doesn't get the credit he often deserves by being brilliantly creative and having some of the most underrated tones ever. He is like a rocketship being told to be a hatchback during his time with the police and he does it brilliantly and often one of the reasons his great guitar parts and technique is overshadowed by Sting and Copeland. I'd argue personally that his tone on the Ghosts in the Machine and Syncronicity albums is the standard for what a great clean chorus/flanger tone should be.
Re: amps, ive got a Roland JC 22 that does a pretty decent job of getting the sound on Message in a Bottle with its built in chorus IMO. It was like $550 so a little bit higher than their budget here, but ive been enjoying it greatly, if anyone was in the market for something nice and clean you can also shove pedals at. Some folks think Andy used a JC120 but apparently thats absolutely not true, however, that stereo chorus they Jazz Chorus amps have does a decent job playing his stuff :)
Very authentic guitar tones from Dave BUT I couldn't even hear Cici's bass in the mix and even when she played on her own I had to concentrate. This hasn't happened for the last few sessions, but it did happen on some of the earlier ones you did, and I think it might be a product of YT compression taking some of the low end away. In short - please turn yourself up Cici! I think it was particularly noticeable on this session because of the predominantly low end bass tone Cici was trying to achieve. I also think that Dave may at times be one of those guitar players you simply HAVE to battle with to get heard in the mix - not because he's a prima donna, but just because he's like an excited schoolboy who loves to perform! (Love you Dave!) Thanks guys as ever, and the Police is an epic band om y youth so for me it was a great choice!
It was _that_ ad9 chord at 9:42 that made me eventually go to Ramones and The Misfits. It absolutely devastated me. And I loved The Police... still do, but I can't play that "copper" shit!
These guys must be making enough money for Andertons, so how about buying them some lighting for the videos? 😉I've been to the shop and I don't remember it being that dark!
You are the best UA-cam couple. Again, wow, what a great video. There is an error in the titles in the video, you play so lonely while the title says walking on the moon at 11:40. At 17:01 Walking on the Moon is titled So Lonely.....
I know Sting doesn’t predominantly have his bass up super high and idk if it’s just my phone not picking up the bass that well or something but I can barely hear the bass at all for some reason
Finally, Gordon "Sting" Sumner and Andy Summers! I believe that Sting did used to have a signature Fender bass but it was discontinued, so here's my thought Roxanne: The guitar part was perfect but personally the bass should've been played with a pick and palm muted that way, I'll give it a 4.75/5 cos it was very close So Lonely: bass was definitely close here but there was too much flanger on the guitar, I guess i'll give this a 4/5 Walking on the Moon: bass once again should've used a pick and while the guitar was close it was a bit too much flanger again, i'll give this a 4/5 Message in a Bottle: bass was dead on but the guitar needed the chorus on it to pull it together, i'll only give this about a 3.75/5 So overall you got pretty close
Roxanne was also missing the infamous butt piano chord but I agree with your takes, flanger can give you a chorus-type sound and it worked well but a legit chorus would’ve been a bit closer
@@KeeperOfPoops Yeah, he is closely associated with that pedal (which basically a dual flanger/chorus so it can do both) but I always found that a stand-alone chorus works really well and I can get fairly close with my Boss CH-1
Great sounds, but I thought the mix was a bit off. Guitar too loud, bass too quiet until you did message in a bottle which was much better. Otherwise nice job on this one.
One I'd love to see is the smiths without busting the bank, some jangle goodness from Dave and some groovy jams from Cici (RIP Andy Rourke) Keep killing it folks! 😊😊😊
Just a head's up, you mixed up Walking on the Moon and So Lonely for the title cards, that said you got pretty darn close tonewise Now I wanna see a sound like Animals as Leaders
The Police music sounds great, but I think people didn't realize how tough it is to get that tone until you try to get it yourself. Dave and Cici did a great job with the budget restriction.
It sounded great Cici! Thank you, by the way. We've been working on a few Police covers and this video has helped me get so much closer to Sting's tone (don't have a fretless either)!
Dave has an uncanny ability to take gear that wouldn't really have been on my radar and just getting the most immaculate tones out of them. It's definitely made me re-evaluate the way I think about gear and what can be achieved with the right mentality. Great stuff 👍
Great job within the limitations. I'd like to see Cici and Dave have another go at this with an unlimited budget, particularly with Cici using a fretless.
This would have been a perfect April fools day joke where you just sat for 15 minutes saying stuff like "you have the right to remain silent" and "get down on the ground!" or "hands in the air where I can see them" Anyways, I really enjoy this series 👍
Love these two, absolute natural presenters. Oh, and bloody good musicians too! Cheers, Andertons.
Obviously “So Lonely” should be “Walking On The Moon” here but otherwise a killer episode!
I heard that too
Glad I’m not the only one who caught that
This series is great. Dave and Cici seem to have a great rapport and sense of humour. More please.
love these two :-) great show guys!
High time I said I really enjoy these challenges by Dave and Cici. Great chemistry and genuinely funny exchanges. Dave covers an amazing range of playing styles, and I've learned how to listen to bass more precisely from Cici. Always worth the view.
Cici and Dave have really grown into these Sound Like’s now.
They started out a little weird and awkward in the early ones but are now confidently weird and awkward.
I'ma work on some Andy Summers chords tonight. Cheers guys. Took me back.
Hell yeah, I’ve been waiting for an episode on The Police for a long time so I’m definitely happy for this one. Killed it as always, guys
Great Job Cici + Dave!!

Another cracking episode 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love Dave and Cici in these sound like videos! Well done Andertons
Absolutely LOVE the videos with Cici and Dave, they’re a fantastic duo. This must have been a tough one but I thought the results were excellent. Seriously good job guys 😎
that bass sounds AWESOME !
Cici, you're not loud enough in my ears. I can barely hear you when Dave is playing. Nonetheless well done!
Now, next about Neil Young with Crazy Horse??? PLEASE!!!
I thought the same , great two players btw,👍
"The Filth". That made me spit out a mouthful of tea
What happened this was the best series and they are the best presenters bring it back
Absolutely loved this . Big fan of The Police and Dave sold me on these pedals 😊 eyes closed I couldn't have told you this was a budget video at all . The excellent playing helped too 😁
It's my first time watching Dave & Cici. Looking at Dave I expect "Sound like Jethro Tull with or without burstin the bank" sooner or later, 😉
Well done ... again ... nailed it
Just wondering: me did expect the JC-22 to enter the stage ... not avail or U no likey
That Bass is just lovable ... as is the Mistress of 4 stings 🤗
Anyway ... cudos
Why Yes, I'll watch another Cici and Dave video. Thank you Andertons!
thank you for being yourself
Oh please please please please SOUND LIKE THE CURE!!
Been waiting for this for absolutely yonks since the whole series started! And you two have only went and nailed those tones, period.
GG guys 😃
Dave and Cici are two of my favorite's on the interweb! Can't wait to see more from them!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss, this is what ive been wating for!!!!!!!!!
Yup, I'd say you got pretty damn close, great sounds-like as usual.
PERFECT
‘The Filth’, I laughed out loud 😂 Brilliant, love these. Do a Police busting the bank!
Those tones were Arresting.
Lol, "So lonely on the moon" is my favourite The Police song! Ha ha ha.
The Police tone is such a defined collective effort, drums/bass/guitar/vocal. Tough to recreate without all the elements. Did a great job though.
Sweet. Cheers!
Nailed the guitar sound, but, as mentioned, I imagine flats on that bass would have been a wise move. I use them on my Greco Pbass with a Rumble 200W combo (15" speaker) a set up which really holds down the bottom end in my classic rock band. Hope the flood is becoming a more distant memory btw Cici.
Great stuff. Particulary liked message at the end
The humor with these two 😂😂😂
Happy Birthday Queenie 🎉

Lol I’ve actually seen a Police tribute act called the Rozzers! They were ace
SUE LAWLEY !! SUE LAWLEY !!
I feel Sue Lawley!
Cici: booger-a. I'm dying! Lol
Re: amps, ive got a Roland JC 22 that does a pretty decent job of getting the sound on Message in a Bottle with its built in chorus IMO.

Light. You need some.
It was _that_ ad9 chord at 9:42 that made me eventually go to Ramones and The Misfits. It absolutely devastated me. And I loved The Police... still do, but I can't play that "copper" shit!
11:40 So lonely, not walking in the Moon (although that will be pretty .lonely too).
what happened to the thing that was in the works with Rabea and Nolly
Hey team, you've got the labels for the songs wrong. The one you've marked as "so lonely" is "walking on the moon"
A grateful dead episode would be awesome! How do I get that budget Jerry Garcia Tone
Not a bad job, I'd say. Sounds about 90% of the way there, being a diehard Police fan.
Please make Sound Like Placebo 🙏
Since when Dave making videos for Andertons? (it's an actual questing - not that long ago he was a guest for interview there and now...)
A tele CV with Champion 40 might already do the trick, add Fender Space Echo (Hammertone). Around 700-ish and good enough gear imho.
Can you guys do a sound like Charlie Starr from Blackberry Smoke on a budget?
These guys must be making enough money for Andertons, so how about buying them some lighting for the videos? 😉I've been to the shop and I don't remember it being that dark!
It sounds like everyone was tired, Cici thought she was Flea and the title cards for So Lonely and Walking On The Moon were mixed up 😁
TURN YA BASS UP !!!!!! ,,,, please 🙈😂
You are the best UA-cam couple. Again, wow, what a great video.
There is an error in the titles in the video, you play so lonely while the title says walking on the moon at 11:40. At 17:01 Walking on the Moon is titled So Lonely.....
I totally would have grabbed a jc40.. I know I know but, thats what I would have grabbed.
Sue Lawley went for a stroll :-)
"He's saving the rainforest by owning lots of different basses made of wood" Absolutely brilliant... uh oh, is Cici based?
She understands irony... (Which is even less green than woodery. 😼)
I know Sting doesn’t predominantly have his bass up super high and idk if it’s just my phone not picking up the bass that well or something but I can barely hear the bass at all for some reason
Challenge: put a rig together that can go from oldschool country to metal without busting the bank. XD
Song titles were a bit way out so lonely was walking on the moon 😀
When you really miss Rabea...
You coulda just pulled a Jaco and removed all the frets from the bass 🤣
cici blew you out the park again!!
The Po-Po. 🚨
can we get a sounds like Steve Vai without busting the bank?
Finally, Gordon "Sting" Sumner and Andy Summers! I believe that Sting did used to have a signature Fender bass but it was discontinued, so here's my thought
Roxanne: The guitar part was perfect but personally the bass should've been played with a pick and palm muted that way, I'll give it a 4.75/5 cos it was very close
So Lonely: bass was definitely close here but there was too much flanger on the guitar, I guess i'll give this a 4/5
Walking on the Moon: bass once again should've used a pick and while the guitar was close it was a bit too much flanger again, i'll give this a 4/5
Message in a Bottle: bass was dead on but the guitar needed the chorus on it to pull it together, i'll only give this about a 3.75/5
So overall you got pretty close
Roxanne was also missing the infamous butt piano chord but I agree with your takes, flanger can give you a chorus-type sound and it worked well but a legit chorus would’ve been a bit closer
@@andrewpappas9311 I believe Summers used an Electric Mistress which to my knowledge is no longer in production, still a chorus would work too.
@@KeeperOfPoops Yeah, he is closely associated with that pedal (which basically a dual flanger/chorus so it can do both) but I always found that a stand-alone chorus works really well and I can get fairly close with my Boss CH-1
The cars are so much better the the police. Hands down.
👏👏👏👏
The bass is missing a load of attack on Roxanne. Other songs sound fine.
PLZ sound like Polyphia!!!
Great sounds, but I thought the mix was a bit off. Guitar too loud, bass too quiet until you did message in a bottle which was much better. Otherwise nice job on this one.
Actually a flanger may get you closer to that fretless sound
Dave is doubtless a great guy, and great player, but he's a difficult watch
One I'd love to see is the smiths without busting the bank, some jangle goodness from Dave and some groovy jams from Cici (RIP Andy Rourke)
Keep killing it folks! 😊😊😊
Yeah this would be great, and please erase the first attemp of Rabea and Matt ...😉
Just a head's up, you mixed up Walking on the Moon and So Lonely for the title cards, that said you got pretty darn close tonewise
Now I wanna see a sound like Animals as Leaders
maybe Lonely on the moon...
@@toledo2983 I like that
The Police music sounds great, but I think people didn't realize how tough it is to get that tone until you try to get it yourself. Dave and Cici did a great job with the budget restriction.
These two again?!?!? More, please!
legit these two are so entertaining
and its so fun to watch them come up with their plan then jam
This one was definitely challenging 🤣 But interesting to attempt!
Well, fwiw, imho ydig! 👍
You two are so wonderful in these videos. I love the recreations and the fun you share with us.
It sounded great Cici! Thank you, by the way. We've been working on a few Police covers and this video has helped me get so much closer to Sting's tone (don't have a fretless either)!
I see a Dave and I see a Cici and I hit like.
17:00 That's Walking on the Moon.
Dave has an uncanny ability to take gear that wouldn't really have been on my radar and just getting the most immaculate tones out of them. It's definitely made me re-evaluate the way I think about gear and what can be achieved with the right mentality. Great stuff 👍
Me too! Every time 😂
No lie, my nephew and I were singing along to every song you guys played. :) love this! You guys really nailed the Police tone !
Awesome! Thank you so much :)
I was really hoping Pete would jump in and start singing Roxanne in the Eddie Murphy from 48 hrs style.
Dave & CiCi seem to nail it every time. But am sure a lot of it is down to their innate talent.
I purchase this squier bass a year ago, just changed the muddy pickup; playability of the bass is wonderful , no sharp fret edges I love it !
Great job within the limitations. I'd like to see Cici and Dave have another go at this with an unlimited budget, particularly with Cici using a fretless.
Another excellent video, wrong song titles aside. Always super impressed how closely these 2 manage to emulate sounds of these classic bands.
I tried for years to play THAT chord with my tiny inflexible hands, gave up before serious injury was caused
Cant wait for the billy sheehan and paul gilbert, mr big episode 😉😉
Dude!!! That would be an AMAZING episode
I only subbed because of Dave and Cici :)
I have no interest in sounding like the Police but I always learn something about tone watching Cici & Dave in those videos.
Love the groin thrusting. And even the show itself. You’re fab, the pair of yez.
...great effort ...bass came into its own in 'Message in a Bottle'
This would have been a perfect April fools day joke where you just sat for 15 minutes saying stuff like "you have the right to remain silent" and "get down on the ground!" or "hands in the air where I can see them" Anyways, I really enjoy this series 👍
This was one of my favorite Sound Like
FANTASTIC!
Ive had a real bad day but at the end You two guys Cici and Dave made me forget about that and cheered me up no end , cheers guys .
so lonely and walking on the moon are switched up. other than that. big tones!
