untune Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi folks, Almost posted this last night, watched it again and realised how crap it was and chickened out... but where does that get you? So I decided to post it up. This is the first thing I've ever recorded myself playing on video and naturally, something I can play (almost) flawlessly on my own isn't so easy when people are either watching me or I'm aware I'm being recorded... anyways, I did this in one take and noticed lots of glaring mistakes and timing problems on repeated watching back, but that's how you improve I suppose This is Wednesday, the 'Telemaster' bass I built last year, the thread is probably dead and buried somewhere by now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA2iAOqmTiQ Comments and crits welcome!

deanbean502 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) I like it to be honest, its a little different to how I play it. I reckon i am going to adopt your method Edited January 13, 2012 by deanbean502 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 That's how most people play it and how Dire Straits played it live. I much prefer the original bass line as recorded, which has half as many notes. It's good though, and you seem to have the bass sound spot on.

Blademan_98 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I liked it. If that had been a live performance, the crowd would have cheered like mad! Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oopsdabassist Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Gorgeous tone out of a good looking Bass! I keep badgering my mob to do this as I love the choon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untune Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated As for the tone, I think it's on the single coil setting for this one, courtesy of a custom pickup and a PIO cap I bought from a fellow basschatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo10 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Sounding good. I like that....never got around to learning that myself yet.....but you have made me put it on my "to do" list. Really nice tone you got going there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
