[@craftedworkshop]

Obviously “So Lonely” should be “Walking On The Moon” here but otherwise a killer episode!

[@brianhake5037]

I heard that too

[@StarQueenEstrella]

Glad I’m not the only one who caught that

[@vintagegeekemporium8924]

One I'd love to see is the smiths without busting the bank, some jangle goodness from Dave and some groovy jams from Cici (RIP Andy Rourke) Keep killing it folks! 😊😊😊

[@klausbrass2147]

Yeah this would be great, and please erase the first attemp of Rabea and Matt ...😉

[@DustyThePunk]

The Police music sounds great, but I think people didn't realize how tough it is to get that tone until you try to get it yourself. Dave and Cici did a great job with the budget restriction.

[@guitarmore]

These two again?!?!? More, please!

[@patmurphy7266]

legit these two are so entertaining and its so fun to watch them come up with their plan then jam

[@widowmaker5544]

Just a head's up, you mixed up Walking on the Moon and So Lonely for the title cards, that said you got pretty darn close tonewise Now I wanna see a sound like Animals as Leaders

[@toledo2983]

maybe Lonely on the moon...

[@widowmaker5544]

@@toledo2983 I like that

[@recordatron]

Dave has an uncanny ability to take gear that wouldn't really have been on my radar and just getting the most immaculate tones out of them. It's definitely made me re-evaluate the way I think about gear and what can be achieved with the right mentality. Great stuff 👍

[@brunomuniz5776]

Me too! Every time 😂

[@gavinsolomon2711]

Love these two, absolute natural presenters. Oh, and bloody good musicians too! Cheers, Andertons.

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

This one was definitely challenging 🤣 But interesting to attempt!

[@derekclacton]

Well, fwiw, imho ydig! 👍

[@bobblake7132]

You two are so wonderful in these videos. I love the recreations and the fun you share with us.

[@guero_mocoso]

It sounded great Cici! Thank you, by the way. We've been working on a few Police covers and this video has helped me get so much closer to Sting's tone (don't have a fretless either)!

[@hippoferd]

I purchase this squier bass a year ago, just changed the muddy pickup; playability of the bass is wonderful , no sharp fret edges I love it !

[@DoctorFish10]

Cici and Dave have really grown into these Sound Like’s now.

[@TheBigburcie]

They started out a little weird and awkward in the early ones but are now confidently weird and awkward.

[@itisflat1356]

love these two :-) great show guys!

[@justie1220]

No lie, my nephew and I were singing along to every song you guys played. :) love this! You guys really nailed the Police tone !

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Awesome! Thank you so much :)

[@markburgess4528]

This series is great. Dave and Cici seem to have a great rapport and sense of humour. More please.

[@jamesmckee8316]

High time I said I really enjoy these challenges by Dave and Cici. Great chemistry and genuinely funny exchanges. Dave covers an amazing range of playing styles, and I've learned how to listen to bass more precisely from Cici. Always worth the view.

[@MrCElk]

Great job within the limitations. I'd like to see Cici and Dave have another go at this with an unlimited budget, particularly with Cici using a fretless.

[@noAPlease]

Dave is such a joy. So glad to see him around frequently these days.

[@SirVicc]

I'ma work on some Andy Summers chords tonight. Cheers guys. Took me back.

[@John_2Much_Coffee]

This was one of my favorite Sound Like

[@morganbartfield5457]

walking on the moon sounded suspiciously like so lonely and vice versa imo. Eddie tor is stoned again. Great to see the police get some recognition. good stuff

[@dylandenney3980]

They've had some really weird title screw ups on sound like for years. I remember back when Bea and Matt did QOTSA and they had the title You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar But I'm Worth A Millionaire

[@ScottEvil]

Yes, they reversed the two.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Hell yeah, I’ve been waiting for an episode on The Police for a long time so I’m definitely happy for this one. Killed it as always, guys

[@ledhendrix5054]

Ive had a real bad day but at the end You two guys Cici and Dave made me forget about that and cheered me up no end , cheers guys .

[@lancecluster]

I was really hoping Pete would jump in and start singing Roxanne in the Eddie Murphy from 48 hrs style.

[@domboy666]

Another excellent video, wrong song titles aside. Always super impressed how closely these 2 manage to emulate sounds of these classic bands.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

I spent years in a Police Cover Band, and spent "hours & hours" Dissecting the Tones, Effects and Chords of Mr. Andy Summers = incredible guitar player

[@bmac5085]

Did you use the old electric mistress?

[@adiohead]

I see a Dave and I see a Cici and I hit like. 17:00 That's Walking on the Moon.

[@AllanGildea]

Love the groin thrusting. And even the show itself. You’re fab, the pair of yez.

[@kentjackson3830]

Just Great! Enjoyed the hell out of this one, made me want one of each. Well done Dave & Cici!

[@GazP23]

Absolutely LOVE the videos with Cici and Dave, they’re a fantastic duo. This must have been a tough one but I thought the results were excellent. Seriously good job guys 😎

[@JimHawkins808]

Dave and Cici are two of my favorite's on the interweb! Can't wait to see more from them!

[@caycejones1258]

Thank you for this Dave and CiCi ❤ I was at least one of the people who asked for this in the last year, but I had no idea that it would be such a challenge. Such a pleasure to see that you were so up to it 😊 Fantastic sounds 🎸🎼🥰

[@67er_matze97]

Great Job Cici + Dave!! Back in 1981 I was 14 years and the Police came to my Hometown Ruesselsheim/Germany. I just hat discovered Music and was there. The Police just had just released their recording "Ghost in the Machine". I remember standing just a few meters away from the stage and they played a stellar concert. That was the most amazing kickoff for my musical journey that I could think of. Thanks for reminding me of that very impressive experience 👍

[@CastlesMadeOf...]

👏👏 Dave and Cici another thoroughly entertaining sesh 👍👍

[@nlumby]

...great effort ...bass came into its own in 'Message in a Bottle'

[@stephanfuchs7891]

Cici, you're not loud enough in my ears. I can barely hear you when Dave is playing. Nonetheless well done! Now, next about Neil Young with Crazy Horse??? PLEASE!!!

[@billsedge7360]

I thought the same , great two players btw,👍

[@MrChriszz160]

Been waiting for this for absolutely yonks since the whole series started! And you two have only went and nailed those tones, period. GG guys 😃

[@Camokittey]

Love Dave ,makes an awesome presenter 🎸

[@jackclark1356]

I love Dave and Cici in these sound like videos! Well done Andertons

[@In_MT]

FANTASTIC!

[@Robin-at-Longcross-UK.]

Great fun this one - and the tones were great.

[@dobiqwolf]

I have no interest in sounding like the Police but I always learn something about tone watching Cici & Dave in those videos.

[@stratorarious]

Awesome job guys!

[@TH-ql8gg]

Another cracking episode 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@paulsummerside]

Dave & CiCi seem to nail it every time. But am sure a lot of it is down to their innate talent.

[@gusdogbrownlab435]

Great stuff. Particulary liked message at the end

[@richardc1129]

that bass sounds AWESOME !

[@jonbourn473]

Great job as usual

[@mikemulia9314]

Awesome, great playing! Andy Summers is so underrated. Would love to see you break to bank for this sound too!

[@stevendegoodmojosmet4034]

You did great !! Greatings from Belgium whooop whooop it's the sound of the police.

[@stoo4534]

Absolutely loved this . Big fan of The Police and Dave sold me on these pedals 😊 eyes closed I couldn't have told you this was a budget video at all . The excellent playing helped too 😁

[@p9jpd9]

Why Yes, I'll watch another Cici and Dave video. Thank you Andertons!

[@zerranox9801]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss, this is what ive been wating for!!!!!!!!!

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Great job 👏

[@zeromath20]

I only subbed because of Dave and Cici :)

[@1revwilly]

Dave and Cici are awesome!

[@bobbymonaghan4831]

Cant wait for the billy sheehan and paul gilbert, mr big episode 😉😉

[@south_of_nowhere]

Dude!!! That would be an AMAZING episode

[@texasbootlegger3752]

I like these episodes!

[@user-sy9xc8nq4j]

What happened this was the best series and they are the best presenters bring it back

[@aftertheendtimes]

Amazing playing!!!!,..😍❤🎸

[@tubularbill]

Might be my favorite episode of this series

[@tomblaze2]

Excellent choice

[@MikeRivkees]

This series is so good

[@carpathus]

Sweet. Cheers!

[@matzer8846]

Well done ... again ... nailed it Just wondering: me did expect the JC-22 to enter the stage ... not avail or U no likey That Bass is just lovable ... as is the Mistress of 4 stings 🤗 Anyway ... cudos

[@clivegregory4126]

"The Filth". That made me spit out a mouthful of tea

[@Snibborwocky]

I basically went with the Squier 50's precision and the Ampeg Mirco-VR w/ 210AV for a budget "Sting bass rig" back during the pandemic lockdown. Absolutely fantastic value and I still use it years later.

[@69spiros]

PERFECT

[@adamsan7494]

Awesome.. 😊

[@duster722]

Love the Police, love these two, nailed the tone. Really enjoyed this. I give it an add-9/10

[@loupeelou902]

‘The Filth’, I laughed out loud 😂 Brilliant, love these. Do a Police busting the bank!

[@frankcarter6427]

I tried for years to play THAT chord with my tiny inflexible hands, gave up before serious injury was caused

[@dennismullins4930]

Excellent ☮️

[@user-fd6tg3rn4m]

CC RIFFIC WELL DONE

[@user-fd6tg3rn4m]

thanks guys

[@GianumbertoGiurin]

It's my first time watching Dave & Cici. Looking at Dave I expect "Sound like Jethro Tull with or without burstin the bank" sooner or later, 😉

[@BigEdWo]

2 very nice people. great.

[@percapitalevrai]

thank you for being yourself

[@johndelong9230]

Sting isn't saving the planet buy owning a lot of bass guitars. You have to cut the trees down to make a bass. Love you two, watching you both teasing each other makes me smile. Added bonus, we learn a lot about how to dial a tone in. Thanks guys....

[@JazzGuitarScrapbook]

Otoh basses are a carbon sink

[@tonepilot]

Yup, I'd say you got pretty damn close, great sounds-like as usual.

[@cchavez248]

Well, that was cool!!! 😎

[@oceanix1929]

Challenging without Steward Copeland's drums... What a band! So much fun watching you, can't wait for the next episode

[@user-rj3gw4km2t]

Would love to see a rush episode!!!

[@Jopeymessmusic]

Lol, "So lonely on the moon" is my favourite The Police song! Ha ha ha.

[@TallymeBanana27]

Nice

[@danielflintknapping]

This would have been a perfect April fools day joke where you just sat for 15 minutes saying stuff like "you have the right to remain silent" and "get down on the ground!" or "hands in the air where I can see them" Anyways, I really enjoy this series 👍

[@Camokittey]

Oh please please please please SOUND LIKE THE CURE!!

[@johnrizcallah4709]

Is that...Flashheart, from Blackadder? Woof woof!

[@rustyshackleford5104]

WOOP WOOP IT'S DA SOUND OF DA POLICE!

[@400_billion_suns]

The humor with these two 😂😂😂

[@andrewcerecedes4757]

I know I'm not the only one who noticed, but the song titles were backwards 😂 So Lonely was first then Walking on the Moon 🤭 Overall great job for both at achieving the tones. I'll bee seeing Sting live in Hollywood this October so I'll be checking out all his gear 😎

[@Severinate]

The Police tone is such a defined collective effort, drums/bass/guitar/vocal. Tough to recreate without all the elements. Did a great job though.

[@georgewilson2865]

Well done!! Dave is 100% right about testing one’s metal with the stretch. Also can I get a price check on the lefty “the Dane” telecaster please. It’s not on the web.

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

Honestly these guys make it clear that the rest of us make lots of excuses with the gear. A Squire or Classic Vibe is all you need, if you can play it well enough. Same goes for the amps and pedals. These `Without Busting the Bank' episodes sound about as good in most cases as doing it with an unlimited budget. I certainly would be happy with the tones they get with the most affordable gear in the store, but then they get the most out of it through their touch, style, and talent, as well as really knowing how to USE their gear.

[@TheStratpicker]

Nailed the guitar sound, but, as mentioned, I imagine flats on that bass would have been a wise move. I use them on my Greco Pbass with a Rumble 200W combo (15" speaker) a set up which really holds down the bottom end in my classic rock band. Hope the flood is becoming a more distant memory btw Cici.

[@winstonschwarz1636]

Yessss!!!!

[@famtoonen18]

You are the best KZbin couple. Again, wow, what a great video. There is an error in the titles in the video, you play so lonely while the title says walking on the moon at 11:40. At 17:01 Walking on the Moon is titled So Lonely.....

[@nedludd3641]

that was excellent. nice one. was the bass amp under-powered? is it possible to buy a decent bass amp for that kind of money?

[@KeeperOfPoops]

Finally, Gordon "Sting" Sumner and Andy Summers! I believe that Sting did used to have a signature Fender bass but it was discontinued, so here's my thought Roxanne: The guitar part was perfect but personally the bass should've been played with a pick and palm muted that way, I'll give it a 4.75/5 cos it was very close So Lonely: bass was definitely close here but there was too much flanger on the guitar, I guess i'll give this a 4/5 Walking on the Moon: bass once again should've used a pick and while the guitar was close it was a bit too much flanger again, i'll give this a 4/5 Message in a Bottle: bass was dead on but the guitar needed the chorus on it to pull it together, i'll only give this about a 3.75/5 So overall you got pretty close

[@andrewpappas9311]

Roxanne was also missing the infamous butt piano chord but I agree with your takes, flanger can give you a chorus-type sound and it worked well but a legit chorus would’ve been a bit closer

[@KeeperOfPoops]

@@andrewpappas9311 I believe Summers used an Electric Mistress which to my knowledge is no longer in production, still a chorus would work too.

[@andrewpappas9311]

@@KeeperOfPoops Yeah, he is closely associated with that pedal (which basically a dual flanger/chorus so it can do both) but I always found that a stand-alone chorus works really well and I can get fairly close with my Boss CH-1

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

Having both: the Affinity: chunkier neck and satin, the CV thinner neck and gloss. In the end I mostly pick the Affinity.

[@CRWhiteside]

Another cracking sound like! Any chance of sound like Cream?

[@James-kj9hw]

You guys have to do one on blur at somepoint

[@davemish4163]

I would love to see them do Sounds Like Robin Trower.
