bassintheface Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hello. I've got a dep gig this sat and 'rather be' by Clean Bandit has just been added to the set. I've just had a quick listen to it on my lunch and there's no 'real' bass guitar part on there - seems to be synth / keys etc. Has anyone either transcribed it, or do any of you play a version within a standard drums, guitar, bass, keys set up? If so, what have you been playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as my band are taking about doing it, and i had the same problem as you. There is some bass when played live though. Have a look...

JTUK Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 That is a clean slate that you can have a lot of fun with, You will need to be the glue that the sequence doesn't need... but I bet you will need it live. I would be thinking you need to have bass and drums pretty active as that twee top line will need a lot of help, IMO. Could be a real slammer if you can put the work in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I never bothered to notate the chorus and pre-chorus but here is the verse groove. I did this what seems like a very long time ago so apologies for any inaccuracies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassintheface Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Ok, looks good Oliver. Cheers. My mate has pointed me in the direction of a live version off Jools Holland, which he reckons is worth checking out too. Cheers Guys.

roceci Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Started doing this with my band a couple of weeks ago. Straight drums, bass, keys & voice with guitar coming in on the chorus in the funk rhythm style. Goes down a treat! I've pretty much copped the synth line throughout, it shouldn't be too taxing for intermediate players & above. Meanwhile, over on Youtube... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=clean+bandit+rather+be+bass+cover Some scorching stuff there!

bassintheface Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 I've just pretty much used the version off Jools Holland. I'm not rehearsing with the band; just doing the gig tomorrow and their bass player pointed me in the direction of that, which is pretty decent and very much like the synth version off the record.

TKenrick Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Almost 3 years late to the party, but I've never had to gig this until recently and found that I enjoyed it more than anticipated (mainly due to gratuitous octave pedal usage): [media]http://youtu.be/MXxs67toUmc[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AREA Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Also just read this..way to late, but nontheless, here is the way I've played it... (Bass is set up a little bit in Front for better Hearing) [url="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5eG552ljKhVLTdLS2pwaG1kb28"]https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5eG552ljKhVLTdLS2pwaG1kb28[/url] Hope you like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I used to play this. Loved it. Never got a recording of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 My band play this, drums, guitar, bass, vocals......so as a result, I get to stretch out a tiny bit more than the Jools recording (which is excellent I think.....people say there's no good performances on there?!). I also play the choruses with a low octave on, give it that slightly synthy/sub vibe. It's fun to learn the main violin riff too, chuck that in a little bit. Love the second verse groove too.

King Tut Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Here's my take on it from a gig . . . https://youtu.be/GKuOKL-h6Wk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Just transcribed this for a guitar dep. If anyone wants chords to come up with your own lines, they go: G#m F E B F#/A# | C#m E△ D#m G#m F# Chorus 1 as above Then chorus 2: G#m D#m E G° Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Completely forgot that we have an excerpt on Youtube of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA3XyipGErI Bit weird that the clip starts with the solo, but whatever haha, you get the idea.Headphones/decent speakers absolutely necessary.
