I've always thought this song is way overlooked.

[@pavolkulich]

this is probably their best song ever :)

[@axl1555]

right? this whole EP I think, lots of cool tracks that hold up to this day

[@kosherny_voyaj]

@@pavolkulich absolutely no

[@pavolkulich]

@@kosherny_voyaj and which is for you? When I was growing up I liked their classic stuff like nookie, break stuff etc. But now this seems like the best for me

[@kosherny_voyaj]

@@pavolkulich my favorite ones were boiler, re-arranged , my way, the one , sour, living it up… maybe because I really love Sam basslines and I prefer when they play all harmonically and all instrumentals are unique both together and separately. Truth is great song too but this is not the song that characterize their own original style. But you’re right , now I’m 33 old and start to appreciate this track much more then I was young) first song I’ve played by guitar)

Great! this is their best song- the doll collection in the back adds to the aggression

[@floue88888888]

Finally found a good bass cover. Bass tone doesnt suck and play is decent. Thank you!

What's up with the collection of dolls on the shelf

[@robbiej.giddings5859]

Nice cover, your the only one that's got The Truth bass cover right.. ..are you using any effects?

[@VanLeibensperger]

yes, the Boss OC-3 Super Octave

[@cesariguaro2679]

@@VanLeibensperger Only when playing in the upper registers of the neck I guess, or is it on all the time? 🤔

[@VanLeibensperger]

I only step on it during the high-register parts (aka pre-chorus). I watched a live video and saw Sam Rivers doing the same.

[@robbiej.giddings5859]

Hi Van, what's your OC3 settings?

[@robbiej.giddings5859]

Hi Van , What are your settings on the OC3 ? Please, thank you 🤘

[@VanLeibensperger]

If my memory serves me, Direct was at 11am, Octave 1 was at 3pm, Mode was set to Oct 2 and the knob to it's left was turned all the way down (hard left).

[@robbiej.giddings5859]

@@VanLeibensperger nah way to much happening here, ill just have to keep on tweaking the settings, got the whole song down but getting the sound right on the start of the song is certainly been a challenge...

[@AkbarPutraPENCILS]

[@raphael9055]

Hi the first part is like 12-10 and 14-15?

[@VanLeibensperger]

it's a B to an A, and then a D to an C#. I tune just the D string down to B, so it would be 12-10, and then 15-14.

[@raphael9055]

@@VanLeibensperger Ty :)

[@robbiej.giddings5859]

Depends on your tuning

[@GenoCidrusny]

Как же жирно звучит этот басс)

[@user-ld6ym9jq6c]

И четкие басовые риффы.
