PArt 2: verse and chorus • "Get Lucky" Bass Cover...
Sorry for the low budget editing, I used Ableton live to edit the video hence the rough jump cuts.
This video was pieced together from 1 session, ( not 1 take ), it's not played through but it is possible.
I did play it live, 1 take, on Global TV, it's a bit faster because I was nervous but you can watch that video here: globalnews.ca/video/723593/jim...
There are also a bunch of articles about what a crazy year it's been for me.
I think this one sums it up pretty well:
music.cbc.ca/blogs/blogpost.as...
Also sorry about the panning, it's from a patch I used in Ableton live, I certainly won't use that patch again in the future.

10 years later, still such a banger.

[@cookiesandbear1331]

Hey

[@alexandrubadea2181]

I actually expected an actual "bass cover", but this man is covering the entire band!! You have my congratulations sir.

[@TheHackersboss]

This Video is not recommended for those with crappy bass skills and low self-esteem *cries hysterically*

[@mattychuck2031]

i know that feel

[@Pioware]

Easy mate, I believe this guy is an alien

[@martinasmimmo3340]

thay feel when you're learning bass to be like this but youtube keeps on recommending bass covers and you don't want to end up lowering your self esteem so you start crying in a corner because you watched them anyway

[@coolnationusa786]

Bruh I'm just a begginer and I have some good ass bass skills But only for single notes

I show this video to anyone who says that bass isn't a real instrument

[@america1754]

I feel like the bass is not a good instrument on its self but it's a huge addition to the music.

[@TheGios100]

When you slap bass you make the instrumental AND the beat its a good instrument on the right hands

[@blackwhite-yn7zv]

its just the soul instrument.. nothing much u know..

[@deldia]

Who has ever said bass isn’t a real instrument? What circle of associates do you keep FFS?

[@WojtekASG]

Almost every thing can be used as an instrument if its used by real musician..

[@alexstevens8217]

Two years later and I'm still wondering why people would dislike this

[@jimcryns5525]

+Alex Stevens Turds with no talent wishing they could be 1/10th as good as this guy. That's who.

[@dualshockgamersbr]

Three years later and I'm still wondering how the hell he does that

[@ComradePashka]

probably because it is not continuous play, but merged video parts. look carefully at 00:14 , 1:14 , 1:21 and so on. sure, he is good, but he would be perfect if would play non stop :-)

[@drumtravelfun]

There's a video on YT of him playing it all the way through, live on a news program. He can do it no problem, he's just a perfectionist. Maybe you can post a video of you playing it...

Great playing, I was inspired by your playin so i went out and got me a bass and i really love it. Though i still need practice but this was great.

[@JimBennettBassist]

That's awesome! What kind of bass did you get?

[@chadoldro5014]

Epiphony Thunderbird 4

[@AzIgazDerek]

+Chad Oldro Epiphony? :D You should consider getting an original one instead of the phony ;) jk

I just wanted to say how much I admire Your technique and Bass playing Jim. You are great bassist and i feel like You are great person also! Thanks for sharing this great video, and for a lesson how to play it :) Take care!

[@enocchevez6701]

you just destroyed my self-esteem with your bass skills

[@TheChrist117]

I so admire the talent (and patience behind working all this out) behind this performance. Epic, Jim!

[@velanapontinha]

Well this is what I call a bargain. All I wanted was a simple tutorial on how to play Get Lucky on bass, and this incredible piece of talent is what I got instead. Unfuckingbelievebly good!

[@S2_Nukky]

I remember watching this back in 2017 when I started to play bass. Thought I'd come back and reminisce ❤

[@cupcakesadventure4770]

i know this for more than 6 years now and i still come back from time to time. i hope you never stoped playing dude, because you are amazing!

[@vzm4663]

One of the most creative bass covers I've ever seen 🔥

[@twis3dtransistor1]

You are extremely talented. Somebody should be paying you oodles of money to play the bass if they arent already. This is way better than the original and more entertaining in my opinion

[@JimBennettBassist]

Thanks!

[@seanjoker223]

I've listened to this 30 times and it never gets old great job

[@Nav_123]

This has been my alarm for the past 10 years or so.

[@ritch1stagesound]

... a declaration of love to rhythm, sound, extreme dexterity and stereo - outstanding!

[@LandingNow]

Listen to this on the highest volume on both KZbin and ur computer while wearing headphones. Smooth af

[@boulevarddesairs]

awesome work !

[@saxdudegcgt7217]

Ive been playing on and off since 2004, ive seen a lot of people play, seen a crazy amount of videos, easily 1000s of crazy things on bass. This is by far the most impressive and inspirational thing I have seen on bass. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@ABSjazz]

It's stuff like this that really makes me wish I played bass. Such a funky, driving, bouncing bass line. Awesome work!

[@TheEricBooth]

Holy Shit this is freaking amazing. Great job.

[@hendrixfreek]

wow man.. that's some great playing and technique!!

[@dashripkin]

I have to watch this every so often because it still floors me every time. Well done, sir. Well done. And nice choice of bass, too!

[@BoBBoFU]

Amazing technique and very good composition. Thanks so much for taking the time to share the tabs, Jim! Watching you inspired me to pick up a bass and learn.

[@alik2003]

ALL HAIL THE BASS GOD

[@wasssupmanrich5548]

Why I'm here 7years later???

[@drissschaillee281]

I discovered your cover around 7 years ago. I was 13 at that time and wanted to start playing bass and I have been on my 4 string happiness ever since. You are the one who made me buy my first Ibanez. Never got tired of this cover, Keep it Up man!

[@puddlepimp690]

I love this soooooo much, the tone is great, it just sounds amazing overall

[@BassObsessed]

As somebody just starting out...this is awe inspiring...and admittedly intimidating. There is just so much going on for one instrument compared to the stuff I can play now that it's actually kinda scary to see just how much there is to learn. Impressive.

[@ScottHogue]

Dude, bass ain't supposed to be able to do that......do it again!

[@Wastl42]

Only bass is!

[@tafadzwankala7370]

including the vocals😂

[@TheChrist117]

How anyone fails to appreciate this, is beyond me. Very well executed Jim!

[@IsaacArnall]

You are so good at the bass!! You have put so much effort into this its unbelievable!

[@budandbean1]

Hey Jim, don't know if you check this at all anymore but it makes no difference, I have to say Congratulations! I heard this right after you did it originally and put it my liked video file. Every once and a while I come back because it so cool and you just blew me away. It actually been about a year or so, I don't remember looking at the views last time but I sure looked this time. Over 2.2 Million Views! That's amazing man! Congrats... You have left your mark in one serious way, I can't wait to come back next year. I love this, in fact I had to listen to it four times and I won't get it out of my head for a while. You've do a great job man, feel good, yes there are lots of videos that have exceeded 2.2 Million but this is yours! So Cool! Rock On!

[@SamSteiner]

THIS is a nice bass guitar cover version of Get Lucky, isn't it?

[@magnusbjarnisk]

Nice? This is not nice. Dogs are nice. This is amazing. And the skills behind this are absolutely stunning...

[@MultiAilz]

[@theclocker]

Dude, I couldn't contain my self when I heard this.Sometimes on youtube you find a video that touches your soul so hard that your not sure how react to it, because it catches you off guard and it is way beyond what you thought you would year. I total immersed my self in the video. This is the real deal. great job.:) :)

[@TheDriver454]

Awesome, can listen to this nonstop all day

[@stonent]

Simultaneously smooth and crisp. Sounds like what I would imagine Flea playing this song would be like.

[@bdavel1981]

I was expecting to hear another “bass cover”. This is another level of cover, I must say, bass version. I don’t understand why people left thumbs down, they totally don’t understand the skill that is needed to perform such quality. Sir, my respects to you and your bass guitar

[@SuperbBirdman231]

Best Bassist in the world... You Good....

[@Tatersaladguy]

I still enjoy watching this vid every once and awhile. I'm lucky enough to have jammed with Jim quite a few times.

There're a few covers of some really nice looking women playing this song on youtube,but lets be real, Jims clearly got the sexiest cover.

Jim you did a excellent work on this song, I love the part at 2.00 . Where do you live ?

[@JimBennettBassist]

Thanks! I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada. A Beautiful place although this time of year, so much rain.

[@davidadelson]

Jim do you have a facebook or an email. I want to ask you some question and it's important. Thank you. I might be in Vancouver next year for a few days or longer

[@awightman1221]

amazing bass playing! as far as the video goes i noticed the few cuts - you should use the cuts to zoom in on the hands or something so it doesn't look, to some, like you're trying to make it appear as a one-take when it's not, while still giving the illusion that it is. again, amazing fucking bass playing!
