This is one of my videos where I like the bass only better than the full cover.
This was a request I got a little while ago. It's a metallica song, so I needed to make sure my tabs were right, and boy this one was a doozy. There are so many different interpretations of how to play this one. From what I've found, Jason uses a pick on a 6 string bass. He never touches the high C, and the low B is only used for notes that can be played on the E string. This makes it playable on a 4 string bass (like most people will use. It's sometimes hard to hear what is being played, so I tried to find some live videos (like this one: • Metallica - Sad But Tr... ) to see what Jason does. In the beginning, a lot of people slide up to the 10th fret on the D string to play that little riff, but That sounds an octave too high. Watching Jason shows that it's played an octave lower. You can see he doesn't slide up with his hand.
Also, on the track, there are two bass parts. You can hear one is dirty and one is clean. It's not super obvious that it's two separate tracks until the outro, but you can hear two bass parts there. For the outro, I've combined the two parts the best I can.
Jason uses a thick pick, the one I'm using here is about 1mm (about the same as him). I also have gotten several comments about me staring into the camera and smiling. Something about creeping people out? Well, I hope this is more to your liking, but don't expect it to continue too much. It's so hard not smiling and it's also hard not to look at the camera. There's only so many interesting things in my room or that my hands do while playing. I'm sorry this cover took so long to get out, but I hope it was worth the wait for the person that requested it.
Fun fact, I used to think James was singing "Sad Patrol" instead of "Sad But True". Also, my Megadeth shirt is the closest to Metallica that I got because they're both Thrash, and Dave Mustaine used to be in Metallica. That's All I got folks
Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)

Very helpful, thank you.
D standard tuning? I bought a 5-string bass because the Metallica bass tab book said this song was played using a 5-string bass tuned a step down A-D-G-C-F. Thanks for clearing this up by using this tuning and a 4-string bass!!! Much appreciated!!!
You’re welcome! Glad I could help :)
I suddenly realized I might have missed something. 🤔 YT's notification system sucks! Great job again, mate! 😎👍
It does suck, but I think it’s getting better. I’m starting to get notifications on replies, which is nice. I hope it gets more consistent. And thank you :)
@@SamboatMusicBassCovers It used to be consistent a few years ago. 😕
@@ThunderBassistJay Rip. I wonder what changed
@@SamboatMusicBassCovers Their funding or their expenses?
😕
Great over as always.
Give "Rush's - The Spirit Of The Radio" a try. I think you'll really enjoy it, especially the intro, it's really challenging and great fun.
Thank you! I’ll take a look at it :) I love the song but never tried playing it
