Thanx!

Karnivool - Goliath bass cover, from the 2009 Sound Awake album. Cool bassline from Jon Stockman.

Slipknot - Spit it Out bass cover, from their 1999 Self Titled album. Quite easy to learn, yet energetic track! Had fun playin' this song;] RIP Paul Gray.

Sound samples of a Ampeg SVP Pro tube rack preamp. Testing this 5-tube classic sounding rack preamp. It can go from very clean to very dirty. Huge EQ options with all the switches and 5 different mid frequencies. In my SVP I put those tubes: Tung-Sol 12AX7 in V1, JJ 12AX7 in V2 & V3, stock chinese 12AU7 in V4, Groove Tubes in V5. Recorded on a Warwick Corvette $$ 5 bass - passive mode, blend 50/50, pickups in single mode.

Lamb of God - Walk with me in Hell bass cover, from their 2006 Sacrament album. Cool song from this album, and another proof John Campbell's good bass playin' skills. Had fun messin' around with this bassline!

Sound samples of a Aguilar Tone Hammer preamp pedal. Testing this very versatile preamp. It's a versatile pedal with lots of tone options (much more than I recorded). You can run it thru clean more modern or driven more vintage AGS channel. Recorded on a Warwick Corvette $$ 5 bass - passive mode, blend 50/50, pickups in single mode.

Thanx!👍

Slipknot - Surfacing bass cover, from their 1999 Self Titled album. Very cool and energetic song, with awesome middle part! Threw a bit brbr deng stuff here & there;] RIP Paul Gray.

Sound samples of a EBS MicroBass II preamp pedal. Testing this very clean hi-fi preamp. It's a versatile pedal with lots of tone options (much more than I recorded). You can run it thru clean Channel A, driven Channel B, or a combination of both channels. Recorded on a Warwick Corvette $$ 5 bass - passive mode, blend 50/50, pickups in single mode.

My 'Wicks

Lamb of God - Redneck bass cover, from their 2006 Sacrament album. My favourite track from this album. John Campbell showed his skills keepin' up with those wicked guitar riffs here. This song is absolutely worth learning and playing!

Mudvayne - Prod bass cover, from the 2000 LD50 album. Prod has some Tool-ish vibe. Very cool mesmerizing song! Ryknow's bassline seems to be simple first, but in fact it's quite complex here. Had much fun playing it;]

Mudvayne - Under my Skin bass cover, from the 2000 LD50 album. This one has many crazy riffs & intensity changes in it! Definately one of the best bass lines by Ryknow on this album. Very demanding, yet rewarding peace of learning. Really enjoyed it!

Slipknot - Wait and Bleed bass cover, from their 1999 Self Titled album. My favourite track from this album, from Slipknot, & in general! I used to listen to it 10-20 times back in the day... Now when I have the proper abilities, I couldn't miss the chance not to record this track! RIP Paul Gray.

Mudvayne - -1 (Negative One) bass cover, from the 2000 LD50 album. Kinda groovy, slow, melodic song. Not much going on here, although another cool bassline by Ryknow. Glad to learn & play this track.

System of a Down - Aerials (bass arrangement | instrumental cover) Bass, guitar, vocal - all rearranged on a bass guitar. Check it out!

System of a Down - ATWA fretless bass cover, from their 2001 Toxicity album. One of more calm SOAD's song. Nice melodic guitar riffs go alongside great powerful vocals in this one. I played Shavo Odadjian's on a fretless bass - covered some guitar parts & added some notes to the bass part as well.

System of a Down - Toxicity bass cover, from their 2001 Toxicity album. SOAD had another big influence on me way back in the past. Crazy riffs combined with tight rhythm section & great vocals! This is the title track from their LP. I re-arranged Shavo Odadjian's bassline to put some brbr deng stuff here & there. Really enjoyed recording this song;]

Deftones - My Own Summer (Shove It) bass cover, from their 1997 Around the Fur album. This one is a great piece to just chill both playing & listening to it. Cool bassline by Chi Cheng (RIP).

Slipknot - Eyeless bass cover, from their 1999 Self Titled album. Another one of very solid Paul Gray's basslines from this LP. Arranged a bit brbr deng stuff here and there;] Nice fast stuff to play!

Slipknot - SIC bass cover, from their 1999 Self Titled album. I remember how much impact this album made on me when I was only 14! Always wanted to cover Paul Gray's basslines from this LP, so here goes the first one. Very brutal & aggresive track! Feel free to share if you liked this bass playthrough!

Mudvayne - Forget to Remember bass cover, from the 2005 Lost and Found album. Soundtrack from Saw II movie. Short, not complicated, powerfull! Fun to play this Ryknow's bassline. Feel free to share if you liked this bass playthrough!

Mudvayne - Choices bass cover, from the 2005 Lost and Found album. My favourite song from this album. Great complex basslines, indeed a fine combination of powerful & melodic riffs! Enjoyed learning & playing this track a lot;] Feel free to share if you liked this bass playthrough!
