The Beatles - Honey Don't - Guitar Cover - Bass Cover

[@MichaelSokil]

Man, that Tenny is gorgeous. Gets EXACTLY the right sound, too. Great playing!

[@ManWithNoExpression]

Yeah, I had been eyeing it for a few years before I bought it since it looked so nice, I’m really happy with how it sounds, and as an extra plus, there are no cracks in the binding after 59 years

[@MrSuzuki1187]

Perfecrly done! every note played was exactly like the original. And thanks for doing justice to the best rock-a-billy song ever written. Love the bass best, but all 4 of you rocked!

[@covakk]

This cover is amazing! Great clean tone with the Gretsch, just like the record, great mixing!

[@ManWithNoExpression]

Thanks I appreciate it! Love that Gretsch

[@MrSuzuki1187]

The bass line is played in perfect Boogie Woogie style. Love the bass in this song. Well done!

[@ManWithNoExpression]

Thanks!

[@pocoyotruffle]

The tones are exceptional, and not just the Tennessean! Probably the best 60s 'thump' sound i've heard out of an Ignition series.

[@ManWithNoExpression]

Thanks to my friend Graham for playing the drums on this!

[@DRguitar918]

AMAZING!!

[@ManWithNoExpression]

Thanks!

[@mschiano1]

this makes you appreciate how good their rockabilly chops were! it’s like a Sun record.

[@MrSuzuki1187]

Pefectly done guys!!! Every note you played was absolutely right on the money. Thanks for doing justice to the best rock-a-billy song ever written. I actually like the Beatles version better than Carl Perkins'. All 4 of you just rocked!

[@sampopkin]

Your Tennessean sounds just like mine! Haha. Awesome cover man

[@ManWithNoExpression]

Thanks, your video was really helpful, although I didn’t quite memorize all the variations in the acoustic part

@@centoeberhardt1663 it totally does! His is a 64 I believe. Mine is 67 with more orangey walnut finish

Cool work. I hope Baby's In Black is coming up someday. George did an awesome solo in this one. 😍😃👍

I would but John’s Rick 325 is actually on that song too so I might have to wait on that one

[@centoeberhardt1663]

@@ManWithNoExpression Didn't he use his 160 on that one?😳😳

[@ManWithNoExpression]

@@centoeberhardt1663 Yes but there's an overdub of the 325 a little lower in the mix, I don't think anyone's covered that part yet.

[@user-ge3oy1vl6v]

Nice cover. I don't know if its just the volume of the Gibson but i think you need to strum it harder to get Lennon's sound in the record. The Tenny sounds majestic by the way.

[@kelseymathias3881]

So nice! 😎🧡

[@l0serrr.r]

Amazing! You got a drum cover back once again! When are you gonna do "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You"?

[@ManWithNoExpression]

Thanks! I'll probably wait to get a Rickenbacker 325 for that one, so it'll probably be a while, real fun song to play though!

[@BoulevardRecording]

Nice job! Couple things. 1. Paul was using his 63 Hofner not his 61. 2. They were using AC100 amps that’s why you couldn’t get it as chimey with your AC30. 3. I doubt he was palm muting. You have a Chinese Hofner they sustain way longer than German ones. German ones sustain for a half second maybe. But he may have been palm muting! Nice work.

[@ManWithNoExpression]

Ah, I had copied the personnel info from my She Loves You video description and edited it, forgot to change the bass to 63. Good to know about the AC100 amps, I’ve seen the photos of them at the I Feel Fine session, but I wasn’t sure how much they were being used outside of that at the time, was it exclusively AC100s? Good to know about the sustain, I’m still somewhat convinced about the palm muting though, given that I’ve never needed to do that before in a cover (or maybe it just means my ears are gradually getting better)

[@BoulevardRecording]

@@ManWithNoExpression yeah man! AC100’s were used from anything after A Hard Days Night up until Revolver. Help and Rubber Soul were AC100’s. However if McCartney was playing a solo, sometimes he’d use his 62 Blonde Bassman. It was used throughout the Beatles career. It’s the Paperback Writer amp

[@ManWithNoExpression]

The AC100 would also explain my inability to get the Day Tripper tone with the Tennessean, I knew they were all over Revolver but I guess I had assumed they were switching between AC30s and AC100s up to that point. Interesting, I didn’t realize he was using the Bassman that early, looks like I’ve got quite a few amps to start thinking about haha. As the AC30CC2X is currently my only amp, I was already thinking about getting a Twin Reverb to better get the Byrds tone from the Rickenbacker and especially the Tennessean (they used dual showmans as far as I’m aware)

[@BoulevardRecording]

@@ManWithNoExpression Revolver they were using UL7120’s which were a new solid state hybrid Vox design. You can see them using them on their 66 tour like in Germany, Nowhere Man check KZbin . AC30’s didn’t get used past “With The Beatles.” They were already to AC50’s for A Hard Days Night. Day Tripper is definitely an AC100, 2 guitars. I think one is the tenny for sure other one maybe the ES345 he had, it’s more distorted and fuzzier which makes me think humbuckers because ac100’s are not fun loud!

[@nickdalwoodmusic]

Nice video mate, got a great sound with that Gretsch. Do you plan on doing any later-era Beatles songs?

[@ManWithNoExpression]

Yeah I eventually will but I haven’t got an Epiphone Casino yet

What's next, a German Control Panel for your Ignition bass?

[@ManWithNoExpression]

I'll have to look into that. Minus the drum set, the instrument accuracy is starting to come together finally with the vintage Gibson and Tennessean. Younger me would be proud

[@nicholassakamoto2455]

What kind of strings did you use on the J-160E for this cover?

[@ManWithNoExpression]

I’m not entirely sure because they were the strings that were on it when I bought it, but they were roundwounds, most likely 11s or 12s. After some experimentation, it seems like J-160es sound quite a bit better acoustically with roundwounds instead of flatwounds but that’s not much of a surprise in retrospect. Me and the podcast guys on Gear There and Everywhere are fairly confident now that the Beatles J-160es probably did actually have roundwounds most (if not all) of the time

[@nicholassakamoto2455]

@@ManWithNoExpression, you mean like Phosphor Bronze or Pure Nickel strings? They were using Gibson Sonomatics.
