Metallica - "Enter Sandman" (Bass Cover)

Metallica's most played song. Even though this is a fairly simple song, I do see most people miss to play it with the right attitude and feel.

[@UndeadSasuke34]

As a guitar player, i think the world would be a better place if the bass in every song in the world would be enhanced. Bass is the soul of a song, i need to hear it loud and clear. Awesome as always!

[@rigidthrash2288]

Undead Sasuke Jason Newsted has the same idea

[@528stevieethereal8]

The Bass is The Power

[@tristencoon8198]

@@528stevieethereal8 yeah it is

[@dopenoize42]

Yes

[@RogueAndroid]

As an ex-singer for a local black metal band, i was happy to have a bass player who turned it up as well when practicing/rehearsing. He had a killer bass tone and he already also a experienced death metal bass player. Had an awesome time with everyone in that band \m/

[@matthewjayjack8143]

Another bass line that's not the most technical or complex but played with the right attack sounds great and suits the song as a whole perfectly. Love it.

[@kellogc]

That is correct! 👊🏻

[@Abudzin]

Bloody hell, your tone is heavier than Jason's. Which is quite an achievement.

[@carmendevilla2]

Plot twist : his bass is turned all the way down and he just imported the isolated track really loud

[@adzari]

Hey Kello... love your base covers especially songs from Metallica's "no base" albums. Really makes me appreciate how talented Jason was when he was in Metallica. Keeps the videos coming my man!

[@kellogc]

Thanks!

[@GenX_Dave]

Kello, if there was ever and bass player in the world and playing style I wanted to emulate, it is you and your style. I may not quite get there but the journey will definitely be a blast!

[@kellogc]

Keep it up and you’ll be better my friend. Thank you! 👊🏻

[@raycope754]

That was a blasted performance my friend !!!

[@kdshelic]

Now that I see your video I get what you meant by "people miss to play it with the the right attitude". As always, good cover.

[@oneshotmass4931]

Luis Alfaro or with his excellent tone

[@jeffrogge4087]

The attitude comes with experience. The way he plays shows that he knows everything that goes into playing the bass. New be's have to concentrate more and just can't get that yet but thanks to dude here they can see first hand how they should play it.

[@ronrezen6849]

Show. Hugs from Rio.

Fala! Esse cara é a minha inspiração pra começar no baixo. Vou vender meus jogos e comprar meu baixo sem arrependimento algum

Ohh I knew you would kill it. It's amazing how many different ways it is to play it. Yours should be on the album no doubt

[@soulrebooting6234]

This is a Real Kick Ass Bass Sound, Really Amazing, it's such a shame that here in Brazil we don't have any Spector Bass in the Musical Stores, But great job Dude...

[@goddamnpiero6153]

That's it, I'm subscribing. This finally feels like the way to play this song.

Great cover, you really nail the feel of the song. That is a great beard you've got as well !

Cool sound Kello, like a big thundering Ducati. I love it. You're bloody awesome as well.

[@Mission2Transition641]

was good to hear Jason's bass on that album. Ive been going back and listening to his work..and the bass line that really is killer is King Nothing!!...

[@victorbicudo1374]

That's the most SPOT ON cover i've see of this song. Exacly the way i play it haha!

Thank you 👊🏻

[@Doidao-xx5vf]

That’s the meanest bass I’ve ever heard

[@kellogc]

🤘🏻😉

[@HearGear]

A spector bass almost give that Black Album bass sound, it´s impossible to get it exactly right because of things in Jason´s signal chain during the recording, but pretty close at least.. :D

[@kellogc]

Agree! Thanks 👊🏻

[@pedrohscarvalho]

Best cover I've heard so far :) Gratz!

[@jhonybotacio]

[@menjorkhangembam1354]

yours is the best bass cover I have ever heard. thumbs up, buddy. you r better than Jason newsted.

[@SolDust-vy3cw]

I know you're a real busy man with you're band and all, but have you ever thought of writing tablature for some of you're most viewed videos? God knows good, accurate tabs are hard to come by. Novice and apprentice level players (like myself) sometimes have trouble transcribing songs by ear. Even just watching you play has been a huge help by the way :)

[@timgerard262]

You can find bass only versions online as reference

[@JoshAllen-GenX]

Just a honestly curious question - why not use a pick like Newsted did?

[@kellogc]

I just feel more comfortable playing without a pick. Trying to capture the feel without it, with the liberty and punch of plucking finger style is a challenge I welcome 🤘🏻😉

[@blewettmark]

Right in the pocket

[@carlodamato4169]

Fuckin' Spector, baby!

[@Sowlternox]

Hola tengo una pregunta. Estoy aprendiendo la canción y en el puente donde canta "sleep with one eye open" veo que usas notas diferentes a las que aparecen en la tablatura de songsterr.com, he tratado de sacarla con el sonido del bajo original pero no veo tablaturas que contengan esa parte, podrías decirme qué notas tocas en esa sección?

[@hanlie1588]

Thanks Man

[@nattharineeprommas562]

good!!

[@undviik1702]

How do I get this aggressive tone you’ve got? I’m loving it!

[@bigoldingus6491]

Spector basses usually sound like that naturally when plugged in, although using Ernie Ball bass strings can enhance this (Keep in mind this is from a guitarists point of view and I've only played bass a few times)

[@bigoldingus6491]

Also, try playing around with the bass and treble knobs on your amp.

[@shawnmarshall3911]

Sans amp D.I and other effects also help too especially with Jason he used the sans amp D.I

[@Walter370z]

🔥🔥🔥🤘😁🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@marcelovaladas]

You rock!!!

[@Sacrifice-Paid]

Hey man,I know this vid is 6 years ago, but I thought I’d ask anyway, what gear you using to get that bass tone, cheers

[@dopenoize42]

That was amazing. Metallica should rerecord this and use your bass line

[@kellogc]

🤘🏻🤩🤘🏻

[@ttg001]

si algun dia puedes, deberias hacer una cover de Señales de De La Tierra. Es genial

[@johnmartensen9702]

I am just starting to play bass. Do you have any pointers for me?

[@hyalinamusic18]

John Martensen Just learn songs you like. Practice everyday. If you can get private lessons that would be great, but if not just try to play as much as you can.

[@carlosperry4301]

John Martensen practice scales and play songs you like

[@RockHostil70]

Como llegas a tener ese tono en el bajo ?? se escucha tan poderoso !

[@talobassprog]

COn los dedos siempre se escucha mas potente que con uñeta.

[@SolDust-vy3cw]

Master kello, I know you've said it before but what kind of bass driver do you use?

[@kellogc]

In this song I only used a Demeter Compressor and a Sansamp BDDI. The drive I normally used (and like the most) is Tech21 VTBassDI

[@SolDust-vy3cw]

Thank you for the swift reply. I appreciate you taking the time. I was looking to expand my pedal bord and you're tone is incredible. Thanks again, fortune and glory to you friend.

[@kellogc]

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'll try to do a a rig overview.

[@mrhyde2250]

Kello Gonzalez you said "only" but was that "only" your DI signal? Did you use an amp as well? If so, did you drive the amp at all with the BDDI, or just the DI signal? This tone seems too good to come from just a BDDI direct!

[@kellogc]

From that pedal chain I go into an Aguilar DB751 and a DB410 cab, mic'd with a MD421. I mix direct and mic signals.

[@leandroechevarria1231]

Awesome sound! What Warwick model is that bass?

[@michomicho7668]

no warwick im 99 sure ,,look like spector but ,, inlays i forgot where i ve seen them //i d bet on spector probably neck thru limited or signature ,, the sound is a hard driven spector too ,,warwick got other growl // well it s all in fingers mostly ,, SO I SAY SPECTOR /

[@Harry-xs1dd]

it's a spector NS 2

[@mattjerry8272]

What kind of bass do you use?

[@kellogc]

Matteo Gerardo Capo it's s Spector NS2

[@limpinstew]
