Thanks Johanna :) Have fun with your basses, they sound nice.

Are the little horizontal lines markings for tenuto (and staccato tenuto with the dot)? I had to look it up because I don't see that notation used often, and I dont quite understand them 🤷🏾‍♂️ By the way, thanks for all your great work! Your channel, Cover Solutions, and Benny the Bassman are my favorite bass channels. Cheers!

[@BassCovers]

hi James...yup, you've got it. The way I look at it as - the dash = hold the note for full value, the dot = shorter note, the dash with the dot = half the value. Hope that helps and thanks for your comment and support...best :)

[@jw9838]

@@BassCovers aren't you always supposed to hold the note for the full duration tho 😂

[@AmaliePark]

While this it totally not the genre I listen to, I have to admit it was fun to play! :-)

[@BassCovers]

haha...yes, what you enjoy playing and listening to might not always be the same...good for you for getting past it! :)

[@joshcrook6975]

Hey man this is great but what type of bass is that it’s super pretty

[@BassCovers]

it's just a Fender Jazz ('76/'77) with some EMG's....thanks! :)
