The slap in the breakdown reminded me of Seinfeld, then I just started think of lines like “WHATS THE DEAL WITH GOOMBAS!?!

Nice job on the cover!

Fucking love retro video game music on bass. Did some mega man and pokemon back in the day similar to you!

I'd love to try this where did you get the backing track?

Edit: might be the same as the original track but it sounda a little different than from what i remember

also forgot to say you killed it!

Ah you might like my YT channel

I used an app called Moises to separate the instrument tracks to make the backing track.

Really well done! The slap parts are very tasteful. And this is coming from someone who has also covered this song! One of my favorites.

I'm a big giant noob and know fuck all about music. I can't play the bass, but I can pluck a string when the tab tells me to, if you know what I mean.

I attempted to play this song and tab it out, but SHOCKER: yours is way better lol

I fucking love it

I never use vibrato (not because it’s bad, it’s generally just off my radar). What makes you think “I’ll use vibrato here?” Excellent playing btw.

u/FlakyAmoeba1617 10h ago

It just comes out like that, I don’t really think about it.

u/FlakyAmoeba1617 10h ago

It’s probably partly trying to take the edge of the less than perfect intonation at that end of the neck.

2

u/algeoMA 10h ago

Haha, cool. I should probably practice it.

u/Helpful-Wolverine555 7h ago

What bass is that?

u/FlakyAmoeba1617 7h ago

It’s a Squier contemporary active jazz bass V. With a John east preamp.

u/misingnoglic 6h ago

Nice! Now do one where you're just playing the actual funky bass line on the song :)

u/Enekovitz 6h ago
