You remind me of one of my best friends, he committed suicide on December 8th of this year, he was 37 years old, thanks for uploading this, he loved this song, I love you so much brother, a recommendation (maybe you already know) but listen to Morphine - Good, greetings from Rojas, Buenos Aires, Argentina, have a good day!

[@benhyattbasscovers]

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend 😔 thanks for sharing the kind words, I'll check out the song you recommended. All the best ❤ take care

@@benhyattbasscovers Thank you very much, I know you're going to love it, Mark Sandmand, the bassist and vocalist, plays a bass with only two strings and a slice, I think it's called that, you're going to love it, enjoy the funk!

I guess you’ve been wondering where I’ve been 🎶 I’ve been meaning to ask if you’d be interested in doing a cover of “carry on wayward son” or “cities on flame with rock and roll” by Kansas and blue oyster cult respectively. I hope quarantine has been treating you well mate

[@benhyattbasscovers]

Added to the req queue, I hope we are united again soon king

Why does it look like you are playing in slow motion or frozen? ^^

[@Phyoomz]

So the pops at 0:40 and 1:36 aren't part of the actual bassline? Is it part of one of the guitar lines or an overdub?

[@benhyattbasscovers]

Good question, I spent a long time trying to figure out that exact problem! I think those pops you've mentioned are just heavily picked guitar notes. To my ear, the timbre/tone of those pops sound a bit too trebly compared to the rest of the bass part (even if they were popped hard). E.g. comparing them to some bass octave hits like the one at 1:30 in the original song (closer to 1:32 in my cover), they seem to sound quite different (even considering a fingered vs "popped" note on the bass). That's my take on it anyway. Thanks for watching:)

[@Phyoomz]

@@benhyattbasscovers I see... Yes, I think you're right. I also just checked the personnel list for the recording and they used a bassist and.. TWO GUITARISTS. So, those higher pops must be from one of them. Thanks man. Great playing!

[@benhyattbasscovers]

@@Phyoomz good catch. Cheers:)

What tuning are you in?

[@benhyattbasscovers]

EADG, but not quite "standard" tuning, which uses A = 440 Hz. The original recording of the song is a little more flat than standard tuning, so I have slightly detuned to A = 430 Hz (i.e. about 39.8 cents flatter than standard tuning) hope that helps!

[@cloudoftime]

@@benhyattbasscovers That helps a lot. Thanks!
