Haha thanks! Donna Lee may take a while…

@iv4nbass yes lol...

Thank you very much! It’s tricky to get your fingers round at first, but once you’ve got it in your hands it’s one of the most fun and satisfying parts to play, especially the chorus!

Thank you very much!

Much appreciated! Looking forward to doing more Jaco covers in the future!

Already working on it 👍

Thanks!!

You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for the support. It really means a lot! If I'm honest I don't really know wwhy I play a lot of what I play or listen to what I listen to. I think it's mainly just because it's what I grew up listening to and is a mixture of my parents interests (my dad being heavily into jazz and my mum more of the 70s and 80s pop and rock side of things). Nowadays, I try not to stick to one genre so much but I get a lot of requests to cover 80s funk so there is a lot of it here. But my playlists I listen to have a vast range from bebop and classic jazz all the way to some music releases from really recently (although the bulk would be from the 80s if we're excluding Vulfpeck which takes up quite a lot of it at the moment). But besides that, half the time the covers I do here are requests or the song comes up after I haven't heard it for a while and I'm liike hey, this has a cool bassline, I'm gonna cover it, even if I think it won't get as many views. I have got a lot of requests I'm working through at the moment, but I will make sure to get round to Sensitive at some point. With regards to sessioning, I have done a little bit, playing for local bands in the area, but my main focus is on the internet side of things as I believe in these modern times that's the way it's got to be done to get anywhere (look at Vulfpeck, Snarky Puppy and Vincen Garcia for example). I have had a great deal of support from both of my parents, although now I'm needing less and less as I have a job and make enough money to pay for my car and music investments. I have an agreement with my Dad where I pay for all my music and car stuff and he will organise everything else, which is working really well for us. I'm really lucky that he also happens to be a musician and a music teacher so I have been surrounded by the opportunity to focus on music and playing instruments that many kids don't get.

I did reply back to your other message on the Level 42 video-Heaven in My Hands-just letting you know 🙂

Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much!

@@iv4nbass you’re welcome . One of my favourite Nik songs along with ‘Roses’ . Great work

Do you mind me asking what you’re playing through please . Such a great sound , is there a slight phasing type effect on your bass or similar? 😊

Not at all! I believe I recorded through my markbass little mark 3 by taking an xlr out the direct out into my focusrite scarlett 2i2. I think the direct out signal was also pre amp EQ. I think I then added compression and a touch of chorus in ableton to simulate the tone on the record. It was a while ago, so I may have done some things slightly differently but this is what I can remember. Hope this helps!

@@iv4nbass ah, it was the slight chorus effect I’m hearing - Sounds really good and a great recreation of the recorded bass sound. Thanks for info , much appreciated 😊

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Was using the bridge pickup with the tone around 80% on the bass, and I think I boosted the high mids slightly in ableton.

Thanks very much! Funny story, I actually used to have a cover of Rio up on my channel, which I posted a little over a year ago. However, TH-cam decided to block it due to copyright issues, which is a shame , especially as it had almost 10,000 views and was a key part in growing my channel. I would definitely cover more and probably will, but I am a bit worried they might block it again. Also I’m from Essex!

@@iv4nbass You're very welcome Ivan! Oh I see, what a pain in the ass after having that amount of views 😡 I have seen some other covers of the bass for Rio and they are still up so that contradicts itself..... That is brill you will cover more Duran Duran 😀🤘🏻 Ah good old Essex, my gf is from Essex I'm here right now near Purfleet-whereabouts in Essex are you?? My part of Kent I'm literally between Dartford/Bexley!

@@mikekaraoke yeah was a bit of a bummer. My thinking is someone must have reported it for copyright or something and drawn attention to it. I don’t imagine the other covers asked for permission to use the song. I’m from the Colchester area btw 👍

@@iv4nbass Some people are right Idiots! Ah good old Colchester, that was only on Homes Under the Hammer a few weeks ago did you watch it?? When was you last in Kent buddy?? 👍🏻

I didn't see that. I don't watch TV, apart from Top Gear on Iplayer so I haven't seen it. I haven't been to Kent for a while. Probably a couple years ago now.

Why thank you!

Thanks very much!

Thanks a lot!

Haha! Thanks so much! I think Mark King may be cooler having written this!

​@@iv4nbasshe is definitely a cool guy ⚡

Appreciate it!!

No worries, Stuart. It’s a great song!

Thank you!

Thanks! I'm 18 but I listen to lots of old stuff!
