OMG flawless

You have the best Yes bass covers without a doubt, beyond inspiring

I was also hitting that extra note on the intro riff. The way you do it is correct. Your technique is the best I've ever seen.

Favorite FM song and favorite FM bass line right here That Chorus is ^Chef's kiss^

Nice cover and I could not agree more about your comments regarding Elliot Easton - such a treasure! I love The Cars because they were the perfect storm of talent from every member of the band. Thanks for doing this cover and I especially appreciate the extended play at the end without the background music which made it clearer for me to understand how to play. I've played guitar for many years and now trying my hand at bass and this was a fun song to try. Thanks again for the video!

I agree with TARugg, excellent cover Troy.

Brilliant video!💯👌

Mr Sp[ock does bass!....Live long and prosper my friend!

This is an incredible line. I could watch you play all day brother! Great job. Have any live with band vids? Love to see that.

Played class. You even bear some resemblance to John Deacon.

Like trying to climb K2 your first time out mountaineering

My favorite song.Sound great.Gonna learn it

Awesome cover man

Hi sir. I’ve been on your channel since I was a small boy, I think around 12-13. Your chops are/were impeccable, and I found you have a good taste in basses. Makes sense you’re a collector. I didn’t really know where to class my area of the hobby. You’ve had all of my favorites 😭

Groovy!

There's a reason why Paul Denham is known as Sade's "Groove Operator".

You sound great

Mike Watt killed it playing with Iggy Pop

Great song!! This to me is the Scorpions best ever song.

How about the second side of their Love Bomb album? That would be awsome........Rick would be so proud!

My sentiments exactly. I had a love hate thing with them all my life. After owning various copies over the years I finally managed to get my hands on the real deal a couple or three years ago. A 4001 in jetglo. Usual deal. Hated it.regretted selling it. Want another !. Merry Christmas friend.

JT best bass player ever!!

Nice !

brilliant as usual. love the ric...considering one myself...is that replacement bridge a hipshot? and are they easy to fit?

The final 5th of this song is one of my favorite bass songs ever.

What a beautiful bassline. Please do more abba songs. I love Rutger Gunnarson's basslines

Good song. Nice work

Look at younger, skinnier, dark-haired troy. This gem popped up in my feed even though I've already seen it! Great song anyway. Merry Christmas.

Wow just wow

This gentleman is an excellent bass player. That acknowledged, Tony used a pick for this song. It gave the bass the unique percussive sound because of the hard-edged attack. No cover should be attempted without one, IMHO. He also played a fretless, giving it the smooth transition sounds. Less impactful than the sound of the pick, and MUCH more expensive to replicate, but also important to recreate the original.

Like your style.

It's very cool that you still answer comments after so many years of this being posted. Amazing cover, btw, the best one on KZbin

That was awesome

Very nice. Learning this song. That whole ending part is a string hopping nightmare. You make it sound great.

Squeeze were well underrated. A really brilliant musical band!

Well done, Troy! This is one of Phil Collin’s best songs as far as bass lines.

"the most complex bass" in rock history, and you make it look easy

Troy - great playing as always….i had not heard this song before but when I heard the opening guitar riff I immediately thought Uli Jon Roth. The time you get is amazing … do you have an updated vid on your signal chain … including what strings you are partial to these days?

Well done! 👏🏻

👍

Fender bass iv compresed to death i think

Great cover, Troy! The first time I saw a "trucker bomb," flying on the highway was wild.

I've never heard this song before, but as soon as you said Mike Watt, I had to listen. Not only is it a good song, but the bass is incredible...typical of Mike Watt. He is on my Mount Rushmore of "modern rock" bassists.

Found myself back here for maybe the tenth listen. Never gets old. 👏🏻

Alright... Disclaimer: Francis Buchholz has never been as good as a bass player as you are... Just sayin' (then he was The Scorpions' financial "advisor" and f'd it up...). What a great cover of yours! Awesome. Thank you.

Ok. So I saw Mike Watt open for Primus at Roseland Ballroom. As he was playing this, people started throwing beer bottles, coins and various trash at him. I was on the rail ans so happy to be seeing him live and it became the most violent show I ever saw. Mike went off after about 40 min and Primus came on and people started beating the ever living crap out of each other. We made it out alive, but saw a dude holding his eye in and saw another guy fly through the air like Gonzo being launched out of a cannon. Thanks for posting this and for coming to my Ted Talk. As always, great job Troy.

Good comment about the 8th notes. I found out that I need a lot of practice to play then with good tempo and balanced sound, I remember this cover being a challenge back in the day.

You make it look easy lol.. 🎸🤘

ULI JON ROTH!!! This is one of my fave guitar riffs of all time.
