Surfacing (Slipknot) - Bass Cover (With Tabs) by Leo Düzey

[@LeoBassCovers2]

I didn’t try to replicate Paul’s tone as I knew that it wouldn’t really cut through the mix of a bass cover. So I went for this disgusting tone instead (except for that little bridge bass solo). I love this song and I guess you can even kind of see that in the video.

[@bloody-fire]

that bridge section is the reason why I want bass well played, man!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks man!

[@ElliYeetYT]

Paul is looking down from you above and loving this.

Thats some timing, i was recently checking out some of Paul's stuff I would love to see duality Great work on this cover

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Maybe one day :) Thank you!

[@ElliYeetYT]

I’d recommend using the isolated bass track of the song for Duality if you decide that one. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWjaZaibZ5egpqc

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you! :)

[@ravelitschimo]

great cover as always.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks Emma :)

[@manurios681]

how do you tune the 5 string bass in drop B? great cover!!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

I think I recorded this in B-E-F#-B-E, but I completely ignored that low E string. So when you look at it like that, it is really just standard tuning at first, and then 3 strings that are in the C# standard tuning

[@nickjohnson7090]

Can someone explain how to practice picking at such low tunes like this? Even sometimes Drop D if I am having a rough patch. When I pick I pick (especially up) it smacks the fret board and makes this loud ass CLANK, and it aint a good sounding clank. So if anybody has some practice tips that would be awesome

[@wavyfacewavyface]

You might wanna go to guitar center and have them adjust your truss rod so your action is better, making less rattling or clank sounds. Or you aren't using the right string guard for whatever tuning you're playing. Either way, it's best to visit a guitar center so they can fix it👍👍

[@nickjohnson7090]

I appreciate it! I will absolutely look into it @@wavyfacewavyface

[@kacperzielinski7199]

​@@nickjohnson7090invest in a Digitech drop tune pedal, you can pitch shift a bass in E standard all the way down to A standard with it, they're so worth it

[@pouryaes6595]

Awesome man, Thank u :)

[@LeoBassCovers2]

No problem!

[@ErhanLiveMetal]

Yes 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@atomfallen2409]

Bravo

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks :)

[@krms2504]

Nice tone , good playing . Nothing to complain about. How would you set the eq if you went closer to pauls bass Tone? Or how did you set the eq in general for that Song?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Honestly, I don't remember anymore. For the distortion tone, it must've been quite a lot of bass and treble. I've never tried to replicate Paul's tone so I wouldn't know. But I'm sure that google can help with that :)

[@ejcansicio5859]

Hey Leo! What bass effect are you using?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Hey! I didn't use any effects other than subtle distortion for this tone :)

[@ejcansicio5859]

@@LeoBassCovers2 Thank you Leo! You rock dude!

[@kostasmariolas9830]

great cover as always! Question: Did u actually uptune the E string to a F#?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks! Yeah I did actually. Quickly recorded it like that and then tuned down again, praying that my bass would be fine afterwards. That can't be good for the neck

[@kostasmariolas9830]

@@LeoBassCovers2 haha yep it for sure cant ! ill propably learn the bass with the low B (5 string ) and tune the other normally. ill just skip a string ! thx for other anyways

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Good luck!

[@ogmudbone2334]

@@LeoBassCovers2 shit lol I watched this and tuned my 5 string the same way and left it for 3 days

[@MirridonOnslaught]

How do you tune? Do you tune up on some strings and lower on others?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

You drop down to standard C# which is C#-F#-B-E. Then you just drop the low C# to a B which is why this tuning is called drop B :)

[@MirridonOnslaught]

@@LeoBassCovers2 thank you for all the help you give 🙏

[@TAILGATEMAFIA]

what kind of strings do you use??

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Warwick Black Label strings. 045 - 065 - 085 - 105 - 135
