Meshuggah - Do Not Look Down | Vintage Bass Cover

[@adrianolima3965]

This riff man... sounds like a kick in the balls

[@Paajanenae]

That's because it is!

[@justisjustis]

4:22 you move your head to the riff that has unlocked how to feel the timing of that section, so thank you! Great tone.

[@TenFalconsMusic]

I'm sure others have mentioned, but this song definitely has a funky groove. P.S. I listen to Meshuggah, even when I'm not listening to Meshuggah.

[@nihilanth_mudrarakshas]

This is one of their best songs of all time I believe. It's just so fucking heavy and groovy, and the bass just adds such an extra layer of heavy. Amazing cover.

[@MD_Slaine]

Very relaxing.

Jäi uusimmasta videosta soimaan autoplaylle jäbän videot and I'm not even mad.

[@thorn_again]

Thank you SO MUCH for the notation along with the tabs... finally I can play along!!! Probably my favorite Meshuggah song

[@Paajanenae]

No problem, always happy to help! Have a jolly good time with it!

[@nastaso174]

Good job man! I believe it was not easy;)

[@EricT43]

Great playing man! This is one of my favorite Meshuggah songs, so groovy.

[@nicksmith5202]

Respect bro, you nailed that!

[@franlovelsimic8421]

Praise the all seeing eye sometimes because this is incredible. Funkshuggah done perfect, bravo! Don't know how you stand with Tesseract but they have an incredible bassist and any cover by them would be much appreciated! Or Vildhjarta, both are awesome options, cheers!

[@NewQuinnProductions]

Killer tone and awesome performance!

[@alvaroabreu4214]

Awesome, bro! Loved to see this with a PJ Bass!

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you! I love PJ Basses in metal, the P pickup especially works wonders when you're in the same octave with low tuned guitars!

[@Paajanenae]

@@alvaroabreu4214 It's in the works! I've just got to learn the song properly...

[@tasteinmusic3510]

I really like it when heavier music is played on Fender-like instruments

[@Paajanenae]

Me too! Tonally things haven't really gotten too much better after the Jazz Bass was launched 😋 Passive electronics + bolt-on neck + two single coils is the home of good tone!

[@kuisma8]

Thanks for your great video & tabs content! It was a pleasure to play 8 string with this video and practise this amazing and groovy banger :-)

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you! 🔥

[@chrisramirez7442]

Excellent cover!

[@UVImpaler]

Oikein hyvä! That bass tone is wonderful.

[@Paajanenae]

Kiitos paljon!

[@UVImpaler]

Ole hyvä, ystäväni! Kippis!

[@grizzlywhisker]

Fuck yeah dude, Meshuggah has been my favorite band since Chaosphere came out. Wish I could jam with you on drums cuz I don't know anybody else who can play this kind of music.

[@Paajanenae]

That would be really cool!

What is your string guage? Sick cover man, the song sounds so much better with such prominent bass

Thank you! It's a 40-100 💪

very dj0nt yes i like

[@marko_makinen]

Ebin! \o/

[@Caynug]

Did you play this fully on the p pickup? sounds like blend here between bridge and p

[@Paajanenae]

It's been a while but looks like my pickup switch is in the middle position so this would indeed be both pickups!

[@marcissobadass]

That was super cool man! Did you write out the tabs?

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you! Yeah, these are my interpretation of what's going on in the song!

[@alvaro.makes.music1]

Nice groove and tone! What tuning are you using btw? Thanks

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you! I'm tuned to F standard, aka half-step up :)

[@Metal_Dinosaur]

Top job bro, bet your fingers are still sizzling lol \m/

[@Paajanenae]

More like itching to play this again lol! Such a great tune and a pleasure to play

[@Metal_Dinosaur]

@@Paajanenae Awesome bro you owned it \m/

[@then1987]

Awesome man. I would have been lost after a couple of counts. Any tip how to count?

[@Paajanenae]

Thanks man! I don't really have any tips on that, other than just playing more stuff in odd meters. I don't really count all these odd meters on the video though, those are only there to highlight the patterns. The song itself is in 4/4 :P

[@grizzlywhisker]

I'm a drummer and I can play a lot of Meshuggah's songs, whatever I can't learn by ear I just map out on graph paper. You can always look the track up that you want to learn on KZbin and slow the playback speed down or use software to do it. If you tabulate or write it down yourself, it makes it much easier to understand if there's a part that you fumble on.

[@thorn_again]

Have you watched Yogev Gabay's videos? He breaks this song down really well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoTGlIiDndSUlbc

[@yalngucgoturen7413]

What are your B7k settings for this song ? Drive, Blend, Eq ?

[@Paajanenae]

The first few frames show the pedal and the settings, but there's also the Way Huge Pork & Pickle which does a lot. Cheers!

[@yalngucgoturen7413]

@@Paajanenae Salute. I get the idea from the settings which I already use more blended less drive and high mids. Can Pork&pickles replaced with Ibanez Pd7 to get the similar sound?

[@Paajanenae]

@@yalngucgoturen7413 No, they both have their place in the chain. The PD7 provides clank and clarity and the P&P fills out the midrange and adds a "pushed" feeling to the distortion. Even though I use both distortions really mildly, stacking them results in a really aggressive sounding distortion

[@yalngucgoturen7413]

@@Paajanenae That really enlightened me from buying smth which I do not need. Final question If you don't mind. My solution will be ( I have already have ebs multicomp blue label and darkglass B7K in my pedal rig ). Any alternative od / fuzz moded pedals you can suggest instead of Pork&pickles which will fill the pushed feeling to the drive ?

[@yalngucgoturen7413]

My actual question if you don't mind Mxr M89 seemed Fine instead of Pork pickles as an alternative because I do not need a fuzz option to my setup which is already used in od Mode in this effect chain.I do have a similar pedal setup but with an active/passive adjustable custom made 6 string bass with dual soapbars. I applied the B7k settings but seemed too bright without the low end boost to tone that pork pickles provides. I would like to buy Smth as a jackpot. I would be grateful If you direct your suggestions as an expert who I already subscribed to his Channel.

What a fucking mess of a song to notate.

[@Paajanenae]

Yeah, I didn't even try to get the key right. Accidentals it is!

[@adino20]

I really don't get why people like this sort of bass tone

[@Paajanenae]

Why not? It glues pretty well with the guitars and is legible without being way too loud :D

[@adino20]

@@Paajanenae it sounds like trash. Like actual trash being knocked around in a trash bin. Super mid heavy and noisy. It really sticks out in a bad way. I kind of miss the days when most bass tones in metal were super mid scooped with some clang. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKeYgaSebN13h8U

[@Paajanenae]

Well, trying to make bass covers with a sound like in the link would be an unintelligible mess. You should try it sometime and let me know how it goes! :)

[@adino20]

@@Paajanenae wtf are you talking about? Is the bass intelligible in the link? It sounds like you are getting defensive about my opinion on bass tones lol

[@adino20]

@Richard Harrold Dude you simply don't know what you are listening to then. The bass is clearly there, and you are confusing it for the guitar or bass drum or something. Also, the bass plays the SAME thing as the guitars in Meshuggah and the bass does NOT provide a "thunderous bottom" lol only a super mid heavy rattle. Just compare a super low sub heavy bass from korn to an isolated bass track from meshuggah kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGe5aWp3Zqp8a6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYHSe4qha9Nrask Also what the fuck does the quality of the band have to do with anything? It provides an example.
