Been playing bass professionally for over 28 years, and I have to give props to you for amazing execution of this cover. Playing one of Fat Mike's most intricate bass riffs that well isn't easy.

[@jamieleebass]

Thanks man! 👍

[@mikemoavero3518]

That picking upwards mike does is so hard for me but you nailed it man.

[@jamieleebass]

Thanks man! It wasn't easy for me to learn either but once you get the hang of it it's like second nature. Good luck 👍

Smooth! Best cover of this bass line I've seen.

[@jamieleebass]

Thanks! Much appreciated man 👍

[@KakashiH25]

This is really good dood! 🤜🤛

[@jamieleebass]

Thanks man! 👍

[@nickmiles1398]

Great job, I love that song. This is a badass channel.

[@jamieleebass]

Thank you 👍

[@thiagoleite498]

Nice cover. Thats the best nofx song imho

[@jamieleebass]

Thanks! 👍

[@zekerobinett868]

You got the technique down!

[@jamieleebass]

Nice one man!! Yeh it was a weird one to play at first but once you get the hang of circle picking and starting with a upstroke it all makes sense 👍

[@andreaflore7852]

You discovered “THE CIRCULAR PATTERN” 😂 best cover on the internet!!! Great!!!!

[@jamieleebass]

@andreaflore7852 thanks! 😜

[@andreaflore7852]

[@jamieleebass]

Im the guy that was trying to get my bass guy to respect punk. I got him to listen to rancid 'holiday sunrise' and i showed him your op iv 'bombshell' and nofx 'we threw gasoline...' ... fingers crossed he comes around. He just thinks punk is beneath him.

[@jamieleebass]

Teach him the ways! 👍🤘

Acid Bath Nice

[@jamieleebass]

Check my acid bath bass covers 👍

[@tellibanana]

Sounds great mate! Wierd question, what do you call that picking technique for the main riff? I just can't seem to figure out how it's done :P

[@jamieleebass]

It's called circle picking, there's vids online where fat mike actually shows you how it's done :) If you get stuck I might fire up a tutorial at some point. 👍

[@nicolasbourbon7189]

​@@jamieleebassa tutorial would be incredible. I can play Rancid bass solos but for the life of me I can't comprehend this technique 😢

[@jamieleebass]

@@nicolasbourbon7189 I'll see if I can get round to it for you, got so many other vids on the go atm haha

[@dinkonaprta290]

​@@jamieleebasshi man, i can't find it, can you maybe post a link of Mike explaining it? Or do simply a tutorial 😁 cheers and thanks

pretty much the same skills involved in a tik tok nurse dance

[@jamieleebass]

I have no idea what your on about 🤣

[@baccy81]

@@jamieleebass I mean that people who click "like" on a video of a nurse who shakes her ass in a hospital hallway to the notes of some disco dance refrain shit have no idea what it takes to learn this song on the base and play it with the same technique that Fat Mike uses. You got it now? 😉

[@jamieleebass]

@@baccy81 got it! 😀👍
