  • A classic that was ironically one of the first music videos to ever appear on MTV. I wish I could sing and play this bass part at the same time like Trevor Horn can but I'll spare everyone from my attempts at vocal/bass co-ordination. Enjoy!
    ** I do not own any of the music used in this video. **

    Wow that's amazing bass playing to such a brilliant song! I was 11 when I first heard this towards the end of 1979.Many thanks for the video.

    That looked a lot of fun to play. Nicely played. I’ve never played this but it looks a good stretch is required in places. Thanks for sharing.

      some of those three-fret jumps take some getting used to! but yes very fun part to play, glad you enjoyed it.

    I daresay if you'd had to play the bloody thing every night of your life for several decades like Trev, you'd be able to sing it at the same time too :-) Nice job, btw.

    Hey dude, great cover. Loving the tone...can you advise about your setup? Beginning bassist...I have pretty much the same bass and not getting the bounce you are. Amp? Strings? Effects?

    • @harryrcovers2789
      @harryrcovers2789  2 роки тому

      I'm running my bass directly into a presonus 1824c interface, which gives you a great clean tone but not a lot of variation, at least not until you get to DAW plugins. I've also swapped out the stock player precision bass pickup for the fender original precision bass pickup. I can't remember what strings I was running back then but in terms of effects, pretty much EQ and compression plugins added after tracking.

    I too am old enough to remember that first appearance on MTV. Later I dabbled in bass playing but was never anywhere close to good enough to paly this - loved every second of your playing here.

    Hi Harry. May I ask about your amp and settings / effects ? I have a Schecter Diamond series Bass and Blackstar Unity amp. Thanks.

    • @harryrcovers2789
      @harryrcovers2789  2 роки тому

      I plugged straight into a presonus studio 1824c interface plus some compression and eq from stock ableton lite plugins. Going straight into an interface is the best way to get the best clean, dry sound but not great for variation of sound, which is where the plugins come in.
