Coheed and Cambria - Feathers Bass Cover

[@RobertusAmor13]

One of my favorite Coheed bass lines.

[@JoeTritschler]

Mine too! Thank you!

[@jpg5038]

Just heard Feathers again for the first time in years and remembering how great that bass part sounds in the mix. Nice one!

[@JoeTritschler]

@@jpg5038 Thank you bro! It’s a great one

[@MA-ho5hd]

Doing justice to an absolute beauty of a bass.

[@JoeTritschler]

I appreciate it thank you!!

[@rhysthomas2876]

Awesome cover man, love the little fills in between the ends of each verse with the drum roll!

[@JoeTritschler]

@@rhysthomas2876 Thank you! Me too… those are so damn fun

[@shiftdb]

Holy fuck this just made me appreciate this song all over again. Cheers, lad

[@JoeTritschler]

Thank you very much! It’s a great one for sure

[@perryborn2777]

Always loved that climb in the chorus, but I'm ashamed to say I never really noticed the rest of the bassline until now Great job as always man, really showing off just how brilliant Mic's basslines are

[@JoeTritschler]

Right?! Great staccato feel there. Love Mic.

[@JoeTritschler]

And thank you for the kind words!

[@markmazz111]

Mic was so good man, so sad how things ended, but you honor him in and and killed one of my favorite bass lines🫡🙏

[@JoeTritschler]

Thank you!! Couldn’t agree more but he’s doing well present day

[@markmazz111]

@@JoeTritschler of course man, keep killing it! And that’s good to hear about Mic

[@kirbdini]

I love the pattern in this bass line, the chef's kiss in my opinion is the mutes during the chorus. No clue how i missed this when you posted it.

[@JoeTritschler]

Me too! & great ear you have. Theres a lot of “Feel” there. The staccato-ey fills really bring the chorus together

[@ryancole5617]

nailed it!

[@JoeTritschler]

Thank you!!

[@CARTUNE.]

10/10 my man.

[@JoeTritschler]

Thanks a lot I appreciate it!

[@bobcarn]

Awesome cover! I didn't hear that song before but loved it!

[@JoeTritschler]

Thank you, Bob! It’s a good one!

[@CodyTheGuitarist]

Great cover man. Mic was such a good bass player, he knew when to do his own thing and when to follow the guitars. I think Zach is a fine player but I miss Mic's bass personality (and backing vocals). Its a shame he chose the path he did. If you haven't already, i'd love to see a cover of Time Consumer, Mic's bass really shines on that track

[@JoeTritschler]

Thank you!! It’s on my list of things to do!

[@Clapsync]

Would also love Time Consumer - having some trouble picking out some of the subtleties @@JoeTritschler

[@JoeTritschler]

@@Clapsync I could help with that. There is a snippet of it on my channel. I was using a Spector bass in the video

[@Clapsync]

Yeah I've used that as are reference for that section! I have a hard time hearing the little variations he plays in the verse@@JoeTritschler

[@bjm6104]

Awesome, as usual

[@JoeTritschler]

Thank you!!

[@levilee207]

Woah I was watching the nervous energies acoustic version yesterday and I was like "man I love this song's bassline, I wonder if Joe has uploaded a cover" and boom. Look at this. Sounds sick man! One of Mic's simpler lines for sure but it's better for it IMO. Really works. You should totally cover Hearshot Kid Disaster! That one kicks ass

[@JoeTritschler]

It’s a shame Zach doesn’t play the trills that Mic does or even attempts to. Just a different rhythm section these days. I’ve learned to accept that he never will play things like Mic did. I’ve covered most of Hearshhot on my channel. Thanks so much!

[@levilee207]

@@JoeTritschler His Line on Evagria The Faithful is pretty cool. That one and All On Fire get pretty interesting. It's definitely a different vibe, but he does some cool stuff. I loved his line for Iron Fist, too, but I'm a sucker for upright bass.

[@driftless7134]

Zach is great, but is pretty by the numbers. Doesn't have the dynamics and sense of experimentation that Mic did. I also miss the grit in Mic's tone and the various sounds and basses he played around with.

[@JoeTritschler]

@@driftless7134 You said it best

[@eugenechek7288]

Great cover👍

[@JoeTritschler]

Thank you!!

[@jeffbeverly]

dig it. well done

[@JoeTritschler]

Thanks, Jeff!

Killer, Joe!

[@JoeTritschler]

Thank you!!

[@JordanHowellMusic]

Hey man,….i heard tell you may be friendly with Mic Todd? First of all i love this song and you sound great on it. lol i tried to cover it on here same when i first started playing guitar, I’m a drummer actually tho. But, also in recovery from a long battle with heroin. If you see this, thanks for the video and I’d really like to hear how Mic is doing or if he’d want or be able to ever be in touch. Idk. Anyway. Also just always happy to connect with other musicians. Hope you’re well, thank you, if you do see this ever!

[@JoeTritschler]

@@JordanHowellMusic Thanks man! Yes, I’m very good friends with M. Todd. He’s doing very well and lives an everyday non-rockstar life now. Merry Christmas!

[@JordanHowellMusic]

@ Yo! Same to you and yours. I don’t want to bother you or him, I just am happy to hear. But as someone who’s been thru some similar stuff, I thought I wondered if he ever speaks anywhere or would want to. I’m from Philly, but sometimes play, sometimes hang, in NY and around. I am…well I never was a “rockstar” lol more a persistently struggling jazz musician, now play more rock and other things for the love of it, and a bit of money wherever it comes up you know?.. Anyway. That’s all good to hear- and about Mic, I’m really glad to hear that actually just, He was a definite important inspiration of mine even on drums, to groove to his bass lines. I dig your playing too and don’t want to type an essay here. If you do you play out anywhere around here or NYC I’d love to hear.

[@babytool2225]

Preamp?, strings? Both pick up or nek pickup?? . Great sound, great player😊

[@JoeTritschler]

Thanks! I can’t remember what I used to be honest with you. 45-100 D’Addario nickels

[@whataday13]

Sitting here wondering 🤔 did you plan for the gold coheed album to be over your coheed tattoo and the rush poster to be over your rush tattoo?

[@JoeTritschler]

That’s a really interesting question I definitely didn’t plan for that lol! Good eye

[@untakentony7951]

Hey Joe. Great cover as always, but I have one question, I'm looking at getting a Squier jazz bass, but I don't know which one to get? And I know you probably don't know very much, but I was just wondering. Keep it up though man!

[@JoeTritschler]

Thank you, Tony. Can’t go wrong with a Squier vintage modified or classic vibe Jazz. They are really great instruments let me know what you get and how you like it!

[@bluem30man81]

Would you ever cover city escape the sonic song

[@JoeTritschler]

Have never heard it but will check it out!!

[@jijowajaknxanma3439]
