VOLA - Paper Wolf | Full Bass Cover

It's time to bring back VOLA-Olli with a brand new ‪@volaband‬ song, Paper Wolf! These guys just don't miss, they've put out multiple albums of pure hits with no filler and it doesn't stop here. I'm extremely excited to hear more and maybe a full album soon this year perhaps? 👀
This cover gave me a blister and multiple sore joints, enjoy it knowing my sacrifices /s

Hahah, wow this must've been one of the hardest covers I've done this year! Let me know how you liked this, I might be doing more VOLA-covers at future releases or from older stuff as well. Do check out the original song if you haven't yet, I'll go to bed since the clock just hit 3AM 😂😴 If you liked it, do a favour and subscribe! I've got a lot more prog metal covers coming 💪

[@eskilseter]

When you see a brand new song release and a Paajanenae cover of the same song in your KZbin feed at the same time... That was impressively fast, dude. Nicolai is a monster bass player too.

[@Paajanenae]

Hahah, I tried to get it out before it hit Spotify, but couldn't quite make it! Agreed, Nicolai is just crazy good 💪

[@DarcMurkee]

That main riff is WILD. Excellent cover!

[@therealcrow6933]

that bass sound is PERFECT for the song! Love it

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you! I took my time trying to dial it right 💜

[@markdorval7844]

Your smile and chuckle at the end was echoed by me. Nicolai's playing is joyful and busy -- and you crushed both aspects here. Impressive work. Now get some sleep...

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you! It was great to play some more of Nicolai's basslines again after such a long time

[@unspecified_brain]

This is now my new ringtone

[@adamTDE]

Oh wow, that was fast! Great job 😁😁

[@Paajanenae]

Hahah, no time for sleep when there's new VOLA on the internet! Thank you 💜

[@TheEternalFlavour]

Sick cover! I have no idea how it is humanly possible to cover that song within 4 hours, but you did a fantastic job!

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you! I guess it's mostly due to experience at this point, my workflow is very effortless. You did a great job too!

[@theiranxican7412]

Yoooo I've always wanted to know how a tuned up bass with a low tuned 7 string guitar both tuned to F# or F would sound like and wowww it sounds REAL powerful! Its the perfect sonic tonality that allows the guitar and bass to fill their roles within their mix without muddiness. I have no idea why more bands dont do this if they desire real low tuned instruments.Thanks for proving that with this cover! Vola is a badass band and are even better live! I know from experience 🤘🤘

[@Digity.]

It indeed does sound way better. Meshuggah do the same as well. Super low tuned bass sounds like shit IMO and I play Dingwall myself haha.

[@KirillKonyaev]

Sickest sound I've heard in ages! Amazing cover!

[@LetItHappenGuy]

Another ripper. Love it 🙏

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you!

[@huntertwitty1025]

I simply cant believe there was a cover of the song already the same night its coming out. Fantastic job man! I need some of those bass chops. Great cover and amazing tone!

[@Paajanenae]

Hahah, thank you! I got to practice the main riff a bit from the snippet they released late last week, but still had to change a lot of things after I saw what they played on the music video 😄

[@BunchyMutt]

Holly hammer-ons and pull-offs Batman!! That was thrilling to watch. I've never heard of Vola before so - bonus!! Looking forward to diving into their discography

[@Paajanenae]

Oh you're in for a treat! The VOLA discography is full of songs like this 😄 Have a great time!

[@Molitoth]

oh man, to discover Vola for the first time. While all albums are amazing, I'd start with Witness just due to the amazing production quality of Jacob Hansen.

[@BunchyMutt]

@@Molitoth thanks for the rec!

[@haydengray9682]

Damn, you've got the best bass covers dude.

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you! I try my best 💜

[@kirbythecomputerguy7610]

Dude you are an absolute phenom...that's a beastly bass line and you ripped it up ....heavy as an anvil , tight as tupperware with a surgeons precision . Some people would enter into a Faustian bargin for talent like yours .WOW

[@me_angelo]

Your attitude, beyond all the beauty of the song is an inspiration!

[@blackedelweiss601]

nice playing, sick tone as well.

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you!

[@BlattidaeKimiKon]

sick cover bro! Nice sound)

[@stodge6707]

GAWDDAMN the bass section of this song is epic!

[@Paajanenae]

For real 😍 Nicolai has his work cut out for him!

[@alltheserobotsshallfall]

inverted headstock bass, you got me hooked there! custom? amazing! great cover and playing.

[@Paajanenae]

It's a custom Warmoth bass! They make great custom parts

[@Dimitrivsky]

Holy gnarly tone, man! Superb placement of the bass in the mix!

[@Paajanenae]

Thanks a ton! 🥰

[@MadailinBurnhope]

holy fuck this kicks ass

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you 😂🥰

[@johanlarsson7518]

This is ON POINT!

[@halfwaythere333]

aced it

[@lucaswar666]

I'm in love with this song since its release! Nice cover 🫠

[@Paajanenae]

Me too! I'm so excited to have new VOLA heading our way!

[@andersthorstensson4347]

Have to comment here too, killed it fellow nord! 🔥🐺

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you! 💪❤️‍🔥

[@trollskal]

Love Vola, love your playing, perfect cover ! 👌

[@Paajanenae]

Can't help but love VOLA 🥰 Thank you!

[@MrMulazz]

Fantastic!

[@DennisRudiNielsen]

Well done!! Quite amazed that you figured the song out so soon after its release!

[@Paajanenae]

Hahah, thank you! I practiced the main riff already from the snippet they released late last week so I had a bit of a headstart. Still took me an hour to learn how the rest of the song and another hour to get good takes!

[@oddcreature8953]

Really enjoyed this

[@Dahn.Baern.]

*FK! Nice tone dude. Ripped it. Perfect. Well done!*

[@joseph-bullivant]

This is INSANE

[@Paajanenae]

Hahah, VOLA is!

Good job dude! Love it

[@Paajanenae]

Glad to hear that! 🥰

[@oldnsleepysmitty5503]

Well done!..that looks like mega fun to play..you get my sub for taste alone😊

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you! 💜

[@piratebasscaptain]

Wild as FK !!!

[@spacedog2980]

fucking epic playing dude

[@laughsinquechua6899]

Great cover and what a tone!!!! Could you do a little review of the emg mmcs and its preamp? please please please, greetings from Bolivia.

[@Paajanenae]

Nothing too much to say here about the pickup, it sounds like this and there is no external preamp in use here 😅 I've used the same pickup in all the other songs I've done with this bass as well, so check those out if you need more clips! The signal chain is always mentioned in the description :)

[@kristhanatos153]

siiiiick!!!

[@ronlouthain913]

Dude, i got the notification of your cover before i did of the original song 😂

[@Paajanenae]

Hahah, damn right!

[@AlfaFirefox]

Tommonen bassottelu aiheuttaa tietynlaista sisäistä hetkutusta :D Meni bändi kuunteluun !

[@Paajanenae]

Hahah, mahtava kuulla! Vola on basistille mahtavaa musaa ja miksei muutenkin 💪

[@bishopoftroy]

Yeah man, fire. Also, basses should have just 4 strings.

[@Anonyymikiljukannu]

Pajanenä-standardin tasoinen veto! Löydän mahtavaa musaa ihan vaan katellen näitä sun basso covereita.

[@Paajanenae]

Hah kiitos! Se on helppo löytää hyvää musaa kun seuraa ihmisiä joilla on moitteeton musamaku xD

[@CheapMessiah]

Damn, the tone, damn. I've been lusting for a stingray or L1500 for a while now, this just made the situation worst for me XD.

[@Paajanenae]

Hahah buy themmmm xD I don't have much experience with Stingrays other than this bass, but the tone from this type of dual coil pickup is so unique and amazing!

[@CheapMessiah]

@@Paajanenae the position of the pickup is important also, it's the biggest contributor to the tone, lowend lobster put a Darkstar pickup on a sterling raysomething on that spot and it sounded great too.

[@franciscosylva2327]

EPIC mate! Wich tuning are you using on this? BEAD??

[@Paajanenae]

F# standard, it should be in the description!

[@franciscosylva2327]

@@Paajanenae Thank you so much brother!

[@mctheta]

Yo! This is DOPE! How did you do this so quickly?? Tabs?? \m/

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you! I won't probably be doing tabs since I think they'll be offering those sometime in the coming weeks themselves if past releases are anything to go by :)

[@mctheta]

@@Paajanenae for sure! I was actually curious how you learned it so quickly! :)

[@Paajanenae]

@@mctheta They released a 20s snippet late last week which gave me the opportunity to learn the main riff, the rest is just experience and practice I guess :)

[@TheSmooshster]

Definitely could benefit from being played on a 5 string. The original mix has the bass almost erased. This cover brings out the nuances missing from the original

[@Paajanenae]

Well the original is played on a 5 string :P Nicolai just doesn't use the lowest string

[@Molitoth]

Well that was fast.

[@Paajanenae]

Always ready to cover some new VOLA!

[@Armazillo]

What's that bass there?

[@Paajanenae]

It's a Warmoth Custom bass! Precision body, precision neck and an EMG MMCS pickup

[@Armazillo]

Very niccceee

[@machmslf]

Gross bass tone.....in a good way
