Holy shit. I don't think non-bass players know this, but the first 50 seconds are the hardest part of the song, IMO. Those super fast, steady 16th notes (32nd notes?) are BRUTAL. Seriously impressive.
I struggled for a long time trying to get that 16th note run right till I realised I could tweak my EQ a little bit and double thumb it. It sounds as good. Haters will say this is cheating but till it sounds right does it matter?
@@auriabo3541 yeah a guy who actually has experience with making music ... This is nothing.. trying playing for 2 hours straight especially on instruments like the upright bass This is easy for her. She practices hours a day ... you guys are ridiculous
Agreed! I want one mighty bad. I’m turning my US Sterling HS into a kinda-sorta Dart bass, only with a series/parallel switch and a passive tone control, but I’ll wish I had that dead-sexy flamed neck. She deserves it more than I, I’m glad she found one!
Nikolaki A Oh, bummer! Well, I believe that a natural/maple Sterling would get you close (I have a sunburst/maple), just bypass the preamp. Actually, running the preamp is enough, cut some from each band aside from the low-mid. It’s a booty-shaker.

I bought a bass just 15 days ago after thinking of it for years. Meanwhile i was waiting for it to arrive, i discover both Vulfpeck and Julia, and i wonder why didnt she cover dean town yet. And today you nailed it. P E R F E C T and great inspiration for a beginner (girl) bassist ! Greetings, congrats and thx from France !
This girl is now the first video I watch every single morning before I start college work. I LOVE watching her play and I don't even play bass. She's a boss!!!
It it is frightening how she is sitting there, joe dart sig in hand playing dean town as if it was nothing and she hasn't even reached her final form yet...
@@flux_time I think you forgot James Jameson and Larry Graham. I think Carol Kaye must have been the mom. It's like the movie Twins. They put all the best stuff in there. Julia is Arnold and I'm DeVito, lol.
Julia, it is only right that Ernie Ball Co sent you this bass. You and your magical playing have inspired me to purchase a Music Man bass. It's coming this week :) !
To be completely correct, that's Julia on a Joe Dart bass playing a Joe Dart on the Fender Bass groove, since that is Joe Dart on the Fender Bass' legal name.
The beginning part sounds easy but is extremely hard to keep up that speed for that length of time. She's great and must put in a lot of time and dedication to get that good.
@@jamesrudland183 Weirdly enough, I found Hysteria relatively easier than something like New Born (also by Muse), which I found impossible to play because the bass line was never-ending, or something like Butterflies and Hurricanes which is just high speed galloping for a very long time.

I've been plugging away at this tune for MONTHS. Watching you is inspiring me to keep at it. One day I am determined I'm gonna nail the damn thing but I know I'm never gonna have your level of fluidity and grace.
@@samhardingham5591 Without question Teen Town is more difficult. Dean Town is hard because it's a test of dexterity with those long phrases of 16th note plucks that'll wear you out quickly if your chops aren't there yet while Teen Town is a test of precision and string skipping... And dexterity... And rhythmic placement... And groove... And tonality... And pocket playing.. And.....
I assume that like 90% of the people viewing this comment know how goddamn hard it is to play sixteenths this clean for this long, to say nothing of the lyrical passages
And it's not just endurance, it's the precise, fine motor control you need to keep the precise timing like that. One slight imperfection in a pluck and it'll be glaringly obvious.
Part of the 10% here, but now that you say it that makes perfect sense. I couldn’t even tap my fingers that fast for that long.... certainly not with any force or consistent pattern. Cheers!
I don’t know what I like more: the stellar execution, the fine choice of song, or the usual wholesomeness in both the video and the comments. A++ would listen again.
Hi Julia! I'm a female bass player too and you are literally my idol, thank you so much for inspiring me! You are so talented and I hope you'll have a great day!!!
People are frickin' amazing. I can't even imagine how many hours you've spent playing that instrument. I hope you always love it as much as you obviously do now.
Absolutely nailed it but man. I dunno what my deal is. No matter what I hear from Vulf played on the new music man I just hate the way it sounds with every part of my ears. That thing just doesn't sound anywhere near as good as the vintage jazz bass he played for so long. I dunno just vulf on the stingray just sounds "off" to my ears somehow. I mean I dont get it. It's a Dart bass. I love Dart. It's vulfpeck. I love vulfpeck. It's a stingray. I love stingrays. But for some effing reason. that combo together just isn't working for me. I dont' get it. I really don't. I should love that thing and I don't.
@tyvek05 ok but my post was about the music man. but so we're clear, this post is about you being a hater. i dont see any covers on your account so. hey how bout you stop making a fool of yourself because when you post stupid shit like that people like me post shit like this. hey everyone, look at what a fragile douchebag tyvek05 is!
What impresses (and reminds me of how inadequate a bass player I am!) is how she isn’t just about stringing together a performance like this for a single TH-cam upload. She can do this all day. 😭😭👍

With the amount of basses you've likely sold through inspiration alone, every major bass guitar manufacturing company on the planet should be sending you basses.
I fully expect this lady to be playing with the greats, such as Tal Wilkenfeld. I hope I see it. Her tone and behind the beat syncopation, it really sounds good. These are the attributes that people aspire to, and she has them naturally.
Flawless technique! I know this tracks all about those tricky phrases stacked up one after the other (which you nailed) but it’s the perfection of your 16ths throughout all those long passages that made me clap!!
that's some bionic finger picking right there. well done. and she looks to have it memorized as well. tells you how many times she's played it. phenomenal effort/talent.
Idk about anyone else but I find the intro the most difficult part of Dean Town. Needless to say I’m incredibly impressed. It’s nice to see a video of yours pop up every now and then and listen to you continuing to kick ass. Your journey is inspiring!
I thought it was me. I tried it with tab video on half speed. After the initial cramping, my fingers became finger tied. If I practice this song every day for a year, I may get the intro.
This young lady is very very good! Her sense of modulation is very very advanced for her age and experience. She plays and modulates as if she has been playing for decades.

Me discovering Joe Dart 3 years ago saved my life. I had just gotten divorced, hadn't picked up an instrument in 5 or 6 thanks to my ex. I saw Joe play this and it gave inspiration to play and enjoy life again. Great job young lady!
Awesome! they sent you a top line Ernie ball Music Man! You have arrived girl! You deserve it. Afraid lots of folks don't realize how hard it is to keep the right hand going like that. About as hard as continuous sixteenths one-handed on high hat.
I tried to picture myself playing bass while watching this video and my fingers got tired. you're great to observe. thank you. Glad I took up the flute....no exhaustion there.
I think seeing a musician with closed eyes is the most reliable way to tell they're putting a lot of effort in, and boy did it pay off. Squeaky clean, even, and absolutely groovy.
Ive played guitar for 20 years and love it. I have a bass which i play when i record songs in Logic. But you've inspired me to take my bass playing to a new level.... Thanks for being awesome!
This is how you recognise a good bassist. Keeping the rhythm for such a long time, even if it’s only one tone, is way harder than it seems to be and you’re doing absolutely amazing
this is the first time i've seen you in full focus and somewhat *struggling* in some ways. in other videos, you're always grooving and dancing and smiling and really really stylish, but here you're in full focus mode and exerting effort... it's like tackling a very very hard recital piece in music school haha. the 16th note runs are SO hard to keep up. i love your videos SO much. you're such an amazing amazing bassist.
@@juliaplaysgroove czesc! been a fan since your early vids. i'm a bassist too! maybe i'll start making vids soon! love you! i hope to hear more from this bass! you deserve them all!
yeah, this might be the first time i’ve seen her struggle. granted, she didn’t make any outright mistakes... but she had trouble with the more complex parts of the bassline. i feel for her 😥
The slight timing and timbre consistency issues in the intro 16th note part is the most she's ever struggle on camera, which just shows she's human like the rest of us.
Hey, I'm a big fan of your videos, you're very talented but my favourite thing is you're getting me into new music I've never heard of and im loving some of the music, Vulfpeck are insane, so thank you. Plus I'm getting my bass out more often
I think more than the funk/wandering parts, the bit of this which impresses me the most is the dead evenness of the 1/16 notes. Staying that even and consistent for that long on pluck is not as easy as one would think. Very, very cleanly played. Nice job!
Yesssssssss!!! And yesssssssss!!! I stopped doing my journal for school to listen. Wrong, I know, but when I see a post notification, I have to listen to her lay down the bass.
This is INSANE! I'm learning how to play bass, and I'm not even close to good yet. I only just learned to improvise, and even then my fingers struggle to stretch enough, struggle to press down hard enough to get a clean sound. This is the first bass cover I've heard in a long while, and it inspired me to go grab my bass and practice some more. This is so cool!!
My god Julia!!! A New bass and look that very fast fingers, I don't have words, you're very good at playing bass, it's beautiful the difference between the spaces of silence and you playing, regards from your Argentinian fan!! 🇦🇷💚

Yes i thought she was gunna pass out
Same here. I sorta-kinda learned the syncopated stuff, but my 16ths sound like crap.
Yes. The continuous 16th notes. Tiresome huh?

Ive played guitar for 20 years and love it. I have a bass which i play when i record songs in Logic. But you've inspired me to take my bass playing to a new level.... Thanks for being awesome!
This is how you recognise a good bassist. Keeping the rhythm for such a long time, even if it’s only one tone, is way harder than it seems to be and you’re doing absolutely amazing
Killin' it!
I see you everywhere. Been a sub for a while!
glad we have similar tastes
Chris my man
Loving how calm and cool this cover sounds, and the song
Been waiting two years for this. Legendary!
this is the first time i've seen you in full focus and somewhat *struggling* in some ways.
in other videos, you're always grooving and dancing and smiling and really really stylish, but here you're in full focus mode and exerting effort... it's like tackling a very very hard recital piece in music school haha. the 16th note runs are SO hard to keep up. i love your videos SO much. you're such an amazing amazing bassist.
I completely agree with this comment. The hardest part of this song is the intro. Keeping that tempo is EXTREMELY difficult. Any practicing tips?
Thank you! Haha, yes, this song is crazy hard to play :)
@@juliaplaysgroove czesc! been a fan since your early vids. i'm a bassist too! maybe i'll start making vids soon! love you! i hope to hear more from this bass! you deserve them all!
yeah, this might be the first time i’ve seen her struggle. granted, she didn’t make any outright mistakes... but she had trouble with the more complex parts of the bassline. i feel for her 😥
The slight timing and timbre consistency issues in the intro 16th note part is the most she's ever struggle on camera, which just shows she's human like the rest of us.
What a way to show off that Joe dart special! Not a finger out of place, great job!
it’s truly a pleasure seeing her bass collection grow, as it should!
And she played that without wearin shades! Skillz!
Hey, I'm a big fan of your videos, you're very talented but my favourite thing is you're getting me into new music I've never heard of and im loving some of the music, Vulfpeck are insane, so thank you. Plus I'm getting my bass out more often
Dang Joe Dart lookin' a lot like Julia here
maybe joe dart is julia in disguise
@@danielenglebert2337 haha i wouldnt be surprised
😂
@@danielenglebert2337 Have they ever been seen in the same room together?
Conspiracy...
och70 wouldn’t be surprised
I think more than the funk/wandering parts, the bit of this which impresses me the most is the dead evenness of the 1/16 notes. Staying that even and consistent for that long on pluck is not as easy as one would think. Very, very cleanly played. Nice job!
I started crying halfway through watching this, I think it triggered an acid flashback. Filthy cover, absolutely crushed it
I'd like to report a murder, cause she just killed it.
I'm the one on the floor, dead. Absolutely insane!
lolol
It was self defence! It was coming right for her!!
Smooooooooooooooooooooooth
"wait a minute is that the Joeseph Dartboard Signature Bass?"
"it is"
A very "Michael Cole" comment.
No subsidies and big unmistakable knob.
@@darrenpinto902 what is that controling ?
@@Thibaudashen groove

Every time I look up a new bass cover I aspire to play you ALWAYS pull through.
Keep it up and thanks for helping and inspiring others.
Yesssssssss!!! And yesssssssss!!! I stopped doing my journal for school to listen. Wrong, I know, but when I see a post notification, I have to listen to her lay down the bass.
Nice to see you with Joe Dart’s bass. However, I’m sure we’re all waiting on Julia’s signature bass.
You make my day!!!
Let it be a medium scale! 32" Musicman
Totally agree with you!
This is INSANE! I'm learning how to play bass, and I'm not even close to good yet. I only just learned to improvise, and even then my fingers struggle to stretch enough, struggle to press down hard enough to get a clean sound. This is the first bass cover I've heard in a long while, and it inspired me to go grab my bass and practice some more. This is so cool!!
I WAS WAITING FOR THE DAY THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. This was all that I imagined it to sound 🥺
My god Julia!!! A New bass and look that very fast fingers, I don't have words, you're very good at playing bass, it's beautiful the difference between the spaces of silence and you playing, regards from your Argentinian fan!! 🇦🇷💚
Girl you're a master. Respect for the practice and the amazing results.
oh boy, she has the unmistakeable, can't miss it, volume knob.
what is that controlling?

@@artemisbishop7516 check out Vulfpeck - The Joe Dart Bass, then you'll know the joke
Matt Brown I know man I just wasn’t sure if the person above was legit confused as to what it’s for
@@artemisbishop7516 lol i thought this was one of the best /r/woooosh of all time
That bass looks gorgeous 😍 loved this bassline, I can feel the groove in this video.
Girl I listened to this cover about 17 times tonight. You're awesome!
Julia: touches something.
The thing: wow, I am gold now
