China Girl Bass Cover

[@EnergyAndLightAwakening]

So bizarre I was just listening to that yesterday!! I loved that Stevie Ray Vaughn played on it as well. A little known fact. I've been working on Ashes To Ashes.

[@bessburkhardt6631]

So weird! My aunt and uncle and I look for bass covers of songs... they love Billy Joel. Last week Uncle Jim wanted to hear ashes to ashes and we found it here! 😉I found a bass cover of Zanzibar today...follow cover solutions to. Today Uncle Jim said he wanted to hear China Girl... told him I couldn't find a good bass cover of it to save my life... and now 7 seconds ago...TROY! again...love ALL his covers

[@jasonpawloski]

SRV played most of the guitar on the Let's Dance album. Bowie saw SRV on the Monteaux show where he got booed off stage and cut his set early. Bowie was so impressed with his set that he called and asked if he would play on Let's Dance. SRV being booed at the Monteaux is still one of the strangest things I've ever seen in music.

[@Bacopa68]

This isn't my favorite off Let's Dance, though I gotta give props to Nile Rodgers wranging in Stevie Ray Vaughan. The album would have been worse without him. And if you're an SRV fan you should really check out his last appearance in a music video. It's in the the video for "First we Take Manhattan" by Jennifer Warnes. Warnes achieved fame by singing two Oscar winning songs for "An Officer and a Gentleman" and "Dirty Dancing", but she got her start as as a backup singer for Leonard Cohen. She later became an a arranger and production assistant for Cohen. Jennifer Warnes used her fame to produce an all-Cohen album to introduce him to a generation that missed him.

[@TJH3113]

Bizarre indeed! I remember “Ashes to Ashes” being trickier than I thought it would be.

[@TJH3113]

Lynn and I got to see SRV before we got married when he and Jeff Beck were co-headling a tour together. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with such a command over their instrument.

[@brentcrude8565]

Trademark driving Carmine bassline. The part starting at, "She says, ssshhhh..." with SRV's solo coming on top a few measures later is my favourite. Proper goosebumps stuff.

[@TJH3113]

I'm not really familiar with his work, or maybe I am and just don't know it. I'll have to look up some of his catalog.

Superb bass tone as per usual, Troy. Thanks for reminding us how great this tune (and Bowie) was.

Outstanding! And the volume is Just Right! Most youtube bass players have the volume to low to hear. And we especially love how you explain the learning process for the song you just played!! Reminds me of Rick Beato😎👍 Very cool, super Groovy, Funky Far Out🍺👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩

Brings back memories. Used to see Stevie, Jimmy Vaughan's little brother growing up in Texas at clubs and stuff. I heard that he went off to go record with Bowie and then the album came out. Was blown away by how well he fit in that album.

I was never a big Bowie fan but always liked this song. In addition, the 80s nostalgia this song and album evokes is almost overpowering. I remember when the video first dropped on MTV and watching it with my friends back then. I liked Bowie's final album, it's artsy and kind of creepy at the same time. His loss was a big one.

[@chrisheaps123]

'Visions of swastikas in my head'. I've always thought that signature bass line part of this song perfectly fits with this lyric or visa versa. The rock steady on the beat feel evokes an invading army marching down the road. And then SRV's guitar starts to muscle in building up the sinister feel and hardly a blues bend in sight. I was just about to relearn this song and opened up KZbin to find a lesson and here you are! Thank you Troy. :)

[@TJH3113]

I totally agree with you on that part. This is probably the only song ever written that has the word “swastikas” in it And the bassline really fits the tone of the song. Enjoy it and I hope things go well. Take care! And thanks.

Seen this tour. David Bowie an his band didn’t disappoint. I believe Men at Work was the warm up band if my memory serves me right. Just talked to my wife about this concert about what stood out about it other than the performance and she was thinking the same thing. ( We’re Gemini’s ) The lighting effect for the show gave the band a ghost like effect. Maybe soft lights I’m not sure. Cool effect though. Thanks for the upload. You can’t go wrong with Bowie’s songs.

[@Tracer9GTRider8]

Killer tone! I read in SRV's biography Texas Flood by the incredibly knowledgeable Alan Paul that when David brought in Stevie, Carmine Rojas was worried that Stevie was "just a blues guy" who couldn't read music. Eventually Carmine was impressed with Stevie's intuition, among other things.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks! Very cool story. It was a shame he got let go before the tour, according to Wikipedia, for excess drug and alcohol use. He died way too soon.

[@Tracer9GTRider8]

@@TJH3113 It's a shame that wiki says that. Stevie agreed to the tour because his band was supposed to be the opener. When they told him that was never an offer, only an insinuation, he wasn't happy. Then they told him he couldn't talk to press about his own band or music. This is right when Epic was about to release his debut album Texas Flood and his agent explained to him that folks who like his music *might* discover him through Bowie but that's no guarantee. So with all of that, Stevie himself called Bowie's people and said, "When you see David tell him I quit" and they did their own tour instead. There were substance abuse issues, but that mostly came into play with his wife Lenny disrupting rehearsals because she didn't feel Stevie was getting his due. That created a lot of tension so they had to get her out of there! The great thing about the biography is it's told by people who were actually there throughout his entire career. People who were first-hand witnesses to all of this. I happened to be at his last ever show at Alpine Valley in WI. It was absolutely shocking to hear of his unfortunate death. He was clean & sober and playing better than he ever had!

Hey Troy, Another splendid rendition on that punchy Spector! Love the tone. You may have mentioned it previously, but did you modify it? This Bowie tune has such momentum, I’ve always enjoyed it.

Thanks Bryan. Yes, I did the same modifications to this bass that I did with the Legend - MightyMite HAZ Clone Preamp and EMG Alnico p/u's. The alnico p/u's were an unintentional discovery. They have a smoother high-end and seem to bring out the mids a bit more than the ceramic magnet EMG's.

@@horrorshowbass My Legend is my favorite Spector, followed by the NS2A’s. The Euro and Woodstock basses get played the least.

@@TJH3113 @TJH3113 I was listening to Grace Jones "Slave to the Rhythm" and didn't know who Trevor Horn was... I've listen to YES for years but not to the extent of knowing the different line ups... IMO a true musician isn't locked in to a particular style and are willing to branch out to master their instrument. I say that to state that I appreciate your diversity in taste... You love playing the bass and it shows

Where do you still get your hazlab clones? I cant find them anywhere

[@TJH3113]

I got this from a small store in Florida through Reverb. I have “HAZ” set as a keyword, so I’m alerted when one comes up for sale. SNC and BAZ both make some really good clones as well.
