Infant Annihilator - C**tcrusher | Bass Cover

DISCLAIMER: I opted to play it in drop G# rather than drop A so that I didn't have to move up an octave on a few critical riffs, as the song's originally played by Eddie in drop E. Some still require me to transpose up, yes, but I felt this was the best compromise. (This was also my approach for 'Unholy Gravebirth.')
Alas, here's a very popular track from Infant Annihilator's 2012 debut 'The Palpable Leprosy of Pollution.' At a brisk pace of 260 bpm, this one's a blast to play and includes some of my fastest picking to date; y'all know which section I'm talking about. I also threw in a few tapped runs starting at 3:20, just for fun. Enjoy!
Tuning: G# D# G# C# F# B

[@Skeletorn]

i hope you know your the reason i buying a bass love the content keep it

[@LindenPoirier]

Thanks man, that means a lot!

[@Skeletorn]

@@LindenPoirier i do have one question i want to play 6 string bass but is it better to start on a 4 string

[@LindenPoirier]

@@Skeletorn Good question! I started on a 5-string since I'm really into metal and that worked out well. I think doing that is a good compromise. You cooould start with a 6, but there would be a ton of songs you start with (this, even) that don't require a 6th string, not to mention the added cost up front, getting used to techniques, the added weight of the bass itself, etc. So, I'd personally recommend 5 but 6 is also a viable option, and 4 would be alright too if there's a lot of stuff you plan on playing that only requires 4 strings. I think if you're a metal guy, you're gonna want that low B string pretty early on though.

[@Skeletorn]

@@LindenPoirier thanks alot man

[@LindenPoirier]

@@Skeletorn Anytime!

[@Sparks2490]

Planning to cover something like Behold The Kingdom, Feast Ov Goreglutton, and The Kingdom Sitteth? Also which album's songs are harder to play in your opinion?

[@LindenPoirier]

Not too sure, but maybe Swinaecologist! And The Battle of Yaldabaoth is by a mile.

[@user-hj1be4co5j]

Настоящие басисты скрейч по струнам делают ногтями\m/

[@LindenPoirier]

I tried that but it didn't resonate as well as with metal, I'll keep that in mind though!

[@mikemizanin666]

Why didn't you use instrumental version?

[@georgehilario3544]

If you have trouble with the singing , just see it as another method of instrument , added enhance to the song , or whatever reason for your mind to enjoy the song

[@LindenPoirier]

I saw no need to cut out the vocals since they don't interfere with the frequencies of the bass and would not affect the copyright status. I also just like how they sound more. Appreciate the question though!
