@@BeamMeUpAlready Robert played this riff on the original recording. Bass vi is a six string bass that is tuned exactly like a guitar. I have some videos on my page demonstrating how I like to play it 🙏🏼
I adore this cover. Thanks man. Such a great time for Robert, in an indirect way. For fans interested, please look up the 'Oxford Road Show' vids of The Cure from 1983 on YT. It was a difficult time for the band - Simon wasn't in the band and Smith had the choice of playing the (then-recent) 'fantasy' hits, but he played Pornography tunes instead, allegedly to 'prove' to Simon that he was passe. Anyway, it's fascinating to see the Banshees psychedelic pre-Top, Glove-Cure all in one outing for Pornography. This wonderful cover above shows how vibrant and awesome the songwriting was. Thanks.
Good job! I love this song so much! Im also a bass VI owner. I ve got the black Squier CV bass vi. I will change the bridge for a Mastery Bridge M1 next year and i will put Labella strings but without this change my bass vi sounds cool anyway!
Music For Ghosts Thaks man. I have also the Fender Bass VI Pawn Shop series but to be honest with you I preffer the 7.25 radius of the Squier neck than the 9.5 radius on the Pawn shop
Guedzilla Thanks man! Pawn shop feels and looks better, is because is Alder and paint job is superior than on Squire. Both are very decent according to price!
Luis Mendo Tomás the main issue on this basses is the bridge, but I made a mod on mine on 6th string about tuning to 12 fret but talking about buzzing just dont play hard and you will be fine
That looks like a badass bass guitar. Are 6 string basses played more like a guitar or bass? Or both? Is that the charm of this instrument? I know that the cure started using it around Faith album, but not sure which cure songs uses them.
this instrument isn't really a 6 string bass in that a regular 6 string bass would be tuned BEADGC. Think of this instrument as a guitar tuned EADGBE but an octave lower (the E being in the same register as an E on a 4 stringed bass). It's almost its own creature, being a perfect compromise between a 6 string guitar and a bass, and needs to be approached in a unique way.
never realized this song was recorded with a bass vi! love it
James Nolasco Thanks man, Robert has used Bass VI more than we can tell

@@BeamMeUpAlready Simon left after Pornography and didn't return to recording with the Cure until Head on the Door.
@@resofactor exactly
@@BeamMeUpAlready Robert also played all of the basslines for "The Top" album.
I learned drums playing cure songs. We could probably jam for hours. Sounds great.
Jake Fromstatefarm I live here in Dallas if you are nearby we can Gig 👍
Great stuff. That bass VI looks even better without the pickguard.

Love those rare Cure b-sides.
The Cure is the best rock band in the world 🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤👍
The Cure King of rock !

Sick looking bass.
Amazing! Fabulous!
Beautifull!!! I'll try to play this song with my guitar and your cover will help me a lot. Thanks a lot. Un grand grand grand BRAVO!!
Renaud Bernardin Thanks man, I like to play this Bass VI Cure songs

that's a great looking baritone, it would sound awsome running it through a stereo amp setup
Fender IV is in fact a bass guitar, not a baritone guitar, though this misnomer is not uncommon.
//I’ve owned one.
Great 🙂🖤
great video
Thanks. Here is the complete cover I just recorded all tracks.

Awesome
BASS DISORD☰R Thanks man
Maginifique guitare ! omg...
Grazie 👍
nice guitar
HANS GABRIEL ARANDA ODRIOZOLA Thanks man!
Dang i could drum to that groovy
Is there possibly a 4-string and a 6-string bass on the original studio recording?
Very nice! How do you compare the Squier VI with the Pawn Shop?
Guedzilla Thanks man! Pawn shop feels and looks better, is because is Alder and paint job is superior than on Squire. Both are very decent according to price!
Nice!! There needs to be more Bass VI Cure covers!! BTW, pick guard?
Looks like it's been removed, exposing part of the electronics.
I took it out in that time, just to made some grounding upgrades. You can see some grounding terminals below neck and bridge pickups
Thank you mykmenez, I will try to upload more bass VI lines.
Wow, does that eliminate buzzing and noise?
ShreadTheWeapon yes, it helps a lot, do you have this Squier Bass? The headache on this Bass VI is the Bridge.
Great playing! Are you using the stock strings or a heavier gauge?
Luis Mendo Tomás stock strings
Does the 6th string feel too floppy for you? Some people complain about that. I tested the bass on a shop and that string did seem a bit too loose
Luis Mendo Tomás the main issue on this basses is the bridge, but I made a mod on mine on 6th string about tuning to 12 fret but talking about buzzing just dont play hard and you will be fine
That's wicked! Was it Gallup that played this? Ok re-read....Robert played this.
Only Robert and Lol conformed The Cure in that era. Robert made all this song himself.
@@fobiedgar You are quite right, I actually did know that but was excited hearing you play it lol. Nice job.
Simon Gallup is my favorite bass player of all time
Gallup wasn't a member of the band at this time (1983).
I think it was Robert playing bass on this.

That’s a bass or a baritone?
Can you make tutorial about this song?
иван Варёнкин Hi, yes I was planing it but no time but soon
can you send the tabs please? amazing sound!
I dont have the tabs, but I can show you what fingers, frets and strings are involved, let me wor on video to show them
@@fobiedgar would be amazing if you could do that ! One of my faveourite songs and there’s hardly any videos on TH-cam for the 6 six string bass
Any chance you could send me the tablature? Great sound 👍
Working on a video. Here is my completed cover
soundcloud.com/garedot/just-one-kiss-the-cure-cover
are you playing B-B tuning?
Its E to E tuning
Great ! what kind of effect do you use ?
Guigui H I was using in build chorus of Fender amp
Это от души
Wich amp do you use?
Music For Ghosts Usually I use Ampeg with Bass VI but here I was using Fender Princeton Chorus
Oh me too i use Ampeg!
