[@shaneonbass]

Varun Kapahi Just using the standard pickups that the jazz bass deluxe comes with - N3 noiseless pickups I think they are? Set in active mode.

[@shaneonbass]

ahha thanks mate :)

[@shaneonbass]

Hi guys - I've become aware that since October 2015 this video is no longer viewable in the United States - something to do with KZbin renegotiating contracts with copyright holders and the new KZbin Red service. This may be temporary but if you need help learning the song in the meantime, I do Skype lessons and can send you the video file also. Get in touch by replying to this comment if you need it. Thank you all for the support! Shane

[@Dampa33]

Great playing man!! Lovely bass sound!!

[@shaneonbass]

Thank you :)

[@GerryFrancisMN]

[@jazztemple2]

Nice clean triplets! Sounds great.

[@shaneonbass]

Cheers :)

[@TizianoBasile]

Your technique is amazing!!! Keep on doin' these videos :-)

[@shaneonbass]

Thank you! I've just uploaded couple of new covers, with some more to come...just need to edit the videos! My latest one I uploaded yesterday, check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/apSuqpuNfLB5nrM

[@TizianoBasile]

Cool!!! I'm looking forward to see them....I've just begun with bass covers and uploaded a couple on my channel, I'd really appreciate if you could take a look and give me some advice :)

[@shaneonbass]

No problems, will do. Is that a stingray?

[@TizianoBasile]

yes, Enrie Ball Stingray (not sterling), I recorded using my boss pedal board, using only an eq and a compressor to make the sound a little groovy. Then plugged it on my laptop with the Rocksmith game cable and audacity

[@shaneonbass]

Nice bro, sounds pretty sweet.

[@iron_itchy]

This is jamming dude! Love it!

[@shaneonbass]

Thanks mate!

[@DimitriPerret]

Even Marcus would be impressed !

[@shaneonbass]

+Dimitri P haha thanks man!

[@antonataev2509]

​@@shaneonbass the first three sounds why not staccato, but very nice)

[@DavidDuv]

Awesome ... simply awesome you're good !!

[@shaneonbass]

Thanks David!

[@DavidDuv]

ShaneOnBass this Fender Jazz bass is ,for me, one of the best bass to play with ...

[@shaneonbass]

David Duval yes! I have a 5 string stingray I've had for years, but I keep coming back to this bass which I got around a year ago. Check out my other vid of Run For Cover and hear it with new strings... Sounds way better!

[@DavidDuv]

ShaneOnBass Keep the groove I will surely check the other videos ..

[@jpona7037]

Wow.......so cool...i love it!!

[@ommy10]

great....clear every note.....

[@shaneonbass]

+Ommy Seedaket Cheers Ommy. The strings were actually pretty dead but the sound came out OK!

[@MirageBand13]

Awesome job! Love it. Great sound too :D Keep rocking and have a great weekend ;) \m/ Cheers MirageBand13

[@billscott5878]

Best music in the world !

[@shaneonbass]

It is such a tune :)

[@shaneonbass]

David Korr Appreciate the kind words! I was going to go with the 2nd camera just static throughout the video, but during editing I got excited and started to experiment with cutting the shots in and out - it wasn't as hard as I thought, but always room for improvement.

[@jacobbylling4433]

Wow! Amazing cover!! I've just learned the song. :-)

[@shaneonbass]

Thanks bro, chuck up a video!

[@belion92]

Muito bom, cara! *Very good, man!*

[@shaneonbass]

Thanks Brenon!

[@nicocojo]

Great playing, amazing solo ! Also working on this one at the moment :).

[@shaneonbass]

Cheers Dominique, it's a fun solo to tackle!

[@zontan]

hardly do i really like a play along like this one. most of the ones i watch are like ... feel-less.. i like and i do enjoy ur groove and ur feel is there. nice.~ package yourself alittle more and the place you play i'm sure your view rate will hit a lot higher. hopeing to see more videoz from you.

[@shaneonbass]

Thanks man, that's awesome of you to say :) Thanks for the advice too....I will endeavour to do that in the next video, work on the space a little bit!

[@moak.k6208]

Great job!! I wish I could play like you...

[@shaneonbass]

+MOA K.K Thanks for the support :)

[@renaudservel2628]

Good song. I like schooldays Stanley Clark, Gary Gringer with John Scofield too. They use Fender Jazz Bass like Jaco Pastorius and Larry Graham.

[@shaneonbass]

Yeah bro nice! School days is a tune...

[@mikebass89]

awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@shaneonbass]

+Mike Nguyễn Thank you, appreciate it :)

[@dexthebass]

Buddy, really nice, you got it! :) Greetings from Croatia! :)

[@shaneonbass]

Cheers Denis :)

[@messenger42t45]

great cover great solo... i should learn to play clean triplets as yours. keep up your great work and upload more vids !

[@shaneonbass]

Messenger 42T Cheers! Learn some Stu Hamm songs and you'll have the triplets down that's for sure!

[@martinklimes7087]

Hi Shane, you play so well :), can you show playing with only pasive mode? What is your amplifier? Many thanks Marty

[@shaneonbass]

+Martin Klimeš Cheers. The bass sounds OK in passive mode, but definitely not as powerful as in active mode. I'm not using an amplifier for this video - I'm going straight through the Behringer Composer PRO-XL MDX2600 into the Akai EIE Pro USB audio interface - nothing expensive or anything. With my band, I'm using Gallien Krueger 2001RB Head into SWR Goliath Senior 6×10 - you can see this on our video clip we just put up - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXjSh2yfbcZrsKM

[@jayrcorre3534]

Wow!! Amazing Solo Sir :D

[@shaneonbass]

Cheers Jayr

[@便所-z7j]

[@shaneonbass]

Cheers!

[@flavioalheira]

Great job!!! Keep going!!!

[@shaneonbass]

Thank you buddy, more to come I think...

[@dokakernsmonleon5534]

hi shane, can you give the link of the song backing track.i've downloaded your video and helps me alot to learn your cover..thank you.:)

[@shaneonbass]

No problems, glad it helps! I actually don't have a backing track here - this is just the original track with me playing over it. Just turn your bass up :) All the best.

[@TizianoBasile]

If I can give an advice, cut the lows in the original song so your bass will be more present

[@shaneonbass]

Correct!

[@dokakernsmonleon5534]

thanks much for the advice.Will do it. :)

[@jimpapa119]

Wow!! wonderful player...

[@fastballonly]

Great performance.

[@shaneonbass]

[@jivestrings451]

Great sound! I'm an amateur bassist. I got motivation from you!

[@shaneonbass]

+Jive Strings Cheers bro, that's good to hear. I am also amateur :)

[@adamstevensbass]

Funky. Great job man!

[@adamstevensbass]

1:19! hahaha YES!

[@shaneonbass]

Thanks Adam - nice jazz bass you got there too...

[@rolfedrengen]

You groove!

[@shaneonbass]

Thanks bro :)

[@yoseei]

Muito, muito bom!

[@shaneonbass]

Thank you!

[@JohnBarrylizard]

That's professional playing! What's the secret to tapping with your thumb like that... can you do that with any bass or is your action very low or high? When I attack the strings with my thumb I get a lot of fret sound. I can kinda cheat by using a compressor/limiter but it's still not like that. Your sound is even and sounds like all those funky bass lines we know from Flea to the 70's funk stuff. I'm primarily a guitarist...

[@shaneonbass]

Thanks John! No secret to slapping other than practice I suppose...keep in mind this is a Fender Jazz bass so the tone is pretty awesome from the get go... Sound wise I am running through a Behringer MDX2600 Composer Pro-XL Compressor, primarily to avoid clipping my audio interface, but it does sound pretty cool too.... Bass track is EQ'd in Cubase with a slight boost in the bass and treble regions, nothing very exciting - wish I knew what I was doing then I could get it sounding even better :)

[@JohnBarrylizard]

ShaneOnBass Thanks for the great info! I did a google search for those pickups, that compressor and the technique. The consensus seems to be pretty low action is ideal for slapping... 2mm-2.5mm at the bass's 3rd highest fret, which would be 17 on a 20 fret bass. Been trying to get that tone for a long time. It's deceptively difficult for me and as a guitarist I tend to play bass like a guitar and ruin the groove. I'm using a boss lm-3 but it adds a lot of hiss. I have an art tube which sound great but adds way too much hiss. Is the MDX2600 quiet? I'm also using Cubase 7.5. If you make a very sharp drop in the 3k to 4k EQ you get a unique tone. I tend to cut anything below 50hz to 100hz for most of my tracks. Maybe I should boost that area and the highs for bass. Thanks again for the insight and great video! Wanna go play my bass now but wife will kill me and it'll wake the baby. :)

[@shaneonbass]

John Barry Don't wake the baby! What bass are you playing? If you're playing an entry level cheapo bass then getting the ideal tone like a stingray or jazz bass will be impossible, no matter your setup or technique or engineering....as they say, you can't polish a turd!

[@751815218]

Hi again Shane! God bless you. I love this musical interpretation. This one were recorded more than 15 years ago by a christian band called "Torre Fuerte", Strong tower in english, with christian lyrics under the title "Mi fortaleza", my strength in english, by the way I got this in cd. I love the slapping sound you performed here, it's awesome, continue posting great music vids, always you'll have a comment from me, best regards buddy!

[@shaneonbass]

Thanks buddy I'll check it out..

[@shaneonbass]

751815218 Interesting...it does sound very similar...but Rio Funk was from 1982 so maybe that band copied it!

[@751815218]

Wow, I didn't know that, thanks to you, I learned something new today. So thanks and until next time, I'll be in touch with you! Blessings!

[@123xbass]

Oh!Good sounds. Cool😻

[@shaneonbass]

Thanks!

[@Javic2112]

I love it !!!!

[@shaneonbass]

Javic2112 Thanks bro :)

[@Javic2112]

ShaneOnBass I can play that fluid when I play my Rush Music....But grooving slap the way you do is really cool ! I will work this song out by watching and listening to you ! You play it so naturally..and you are on the ZONE !! I play slap, I really got the technique,I'm able to play triplets or duble thump, but I'm not a natural slap player. I mean I always have hard time to start or create a good groove. I play some Wooten stuff, but still....I love MIller, but It's not easy to play ! Anyway hard work will do the trick ! any advise to improve my slap playing ???

[@김찬영-l1p]

[@davidzaragoza7313]

Excellent dude! Nice Bass too! I Really enjoy your cover, just a question, how did you got the track? I've been looking for it and I just don't find it, if you have it dude could you pass it?? have a good one!

[@shaneonbass]

Thanks bro - glad you enjoyed it! This track is just the album version of the song, turned down a bit with my bass turned up. You should be able to find it on KZbin..

[@davidzaragoza7313]

ShaneOnBass Ok dude! Thanks very much!

[@howardbe387]

I keep my fingers crossed for the development of your talent. It's nice to hear - in fact the same as the original indeed. greetings! Run under cover is may favor. Keep going on!

[@shaneonbass]

I'm trying, quite busy with Smoke Stack Rhino but I've got a few videos in the works :) Thanks for the support.

[@ДмитрийЗайденберг]

Groovy! What is the harmony to the "smooth/jazz" part?

[@laurentdarcq5624]

Sooo groovy ! Thank you !

[@farahm.d.8282]

You're playing is really awesome! Keep up the great work, I'm also trying to play this one..do you happen to have any tabs for the solo?

[@shaneonbass]

Thanks Farah...I originally learnt it from a book called BASSLINES by Joe Hubbard...it has sheet music for tunes from Mark King, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller & Jaco Pastorius :) I'm sure the tab is available somewhere on the Internet though surely?

[@bolacafa2487]

respect man , the BEST cover on youtube. Just a question : do you know the "name" of the technic on : 3',05"/3',08"/3',10" -- 4,10"/4'15" ??? I can't understand the movement , that's to fast ... let me know please ;) cheers .

[@shaneonbass]

Hey there...I actually do it slap-pop-pop (thumb->index->middle) to get the triplet sound..although you can also do it slap-slap-pop (thumb->thumb->index) - hope this helps!

[@tylerdelatorre8230]

Could you help me out? So im currently learning this song and i am having a difficulty achieving this song when I slap. My bass is a Dean Edge 01 and I am thinking the problem is in my bass. I dunno how to describe the sound but it surely doesnt sound like this. I have checked if my technique is the problem and I dont think it is cause this problem has been on for a very long time. Could you help me figure out this problem?

[@shaneonbass]

If you have a video that would help out? It might be that in this tune, a lot of notes are staccato - and what I do is lift up my fretting fingers very quickly when I want to achieve that...

[@tylerdelatorre8230]

+ShaneOnBass Do you have email or gmail account?

[@DustintPadgett]

Nice! Absolutely awesome brother!!

[@shaneonbass]

Much thanks Dustin :)

[@a5i3nt0i]

[@denismacfarlane255]

You are on fire!

[@newbiemask2723]

hey shane...can you make a tutorial? the solo part? please....i want to know how you do that triplets pluck....please.. :(

[@shaneonbass]

Hey there...I actually do it slap-pop-pop (thumb->index->middle) to get the triplet sound..although you can also do it slap-slap-pop (thumb->thumb->index) - there are plenty of tutorials out there for this technique, although I've been thinking of doing a lesson for the solo part of this song since it's quite popular for bassists to play...I can't guarantee it will happen though!

[@newbiemask2723]

ShaneOnBass Shane...i tried the slap-pop-pop and the other slap-slap-pop...i think i just need a more exercise and practice...its so hard to timing :) but i really hope you can make a tutorial for the solo part.. it would be nice.. thanks for the reply anyway :)

[@MrBlues0410]

Nice groove

[@chrisharrison809]

Hey man, sounds great. I've been studying slap a bit and am having a hard time getting that tone. Are you cutting the mids a good bit on the onboard eq? I have the same bass, 5 string version though.

[@shaneonbass]

+Chris Harrison Hey Chris, nothing too crazy going on with the EQ as far as I remember, I am running it through a bit of compression which gives it a nicer tone however - Behringer Composer PRO-XL MDX2600...it sounds even better in my other video with fresh strings on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/romofGt7o92ZqqM You should be able to get the same tone, maybe try some compression! And hit hard...

[@nikitapostolov4081]

Great technique! Thanks) P.S. If I'm not mistaken, in section "C" you play D instead of C#.
