Green Day - Welcome To Paradise (Bass Cover)

I've never been much of a Green Day fan, so I've always kind of overlooked Mike Dirnt as a bass player... but my god, he's an absolute beast!!
Got an absolutely cracking tone from my Spector Forte, combined with my Aurora coated strings!
I'm using their white coated 45-105 set, available in the UK exclusively through graingerguitarparts.com
Thanks for watching!

[@stevebadachmusic]

the stuff that Mike added to a bunch of power chords is a masterclass!

[@SpindleyBass]

Exactly dude!! He should be mixed way higher in the songs!!

[@m00plank90]

[@michaelvincentgaddi8743]

Great playing and awesome groove! That bass break in the middle has always reminded me of the bassline in The Cure's "Killing an Arab."

[@reduker1009]

[@Brand73]

Reallly nice job man, this bassline is so hard for me, my arm and hand gets so tired and cramped and I can't complete the song

[@SpindleyBass]

Thanks, dude!! I had a pretty hard time getting through that middle section without cramping up, too!

[@michaelvincentgaddi8743]

Love how you incorporated your basses in your home decor. Awesome art pieces, them basses! :)

[@SpindleyBass]

I have the wife to thank for that! She's amazing!

[@Wiggimus]

[@declanlohan7951]

Insanely underrated video bro amazing

[@SpindleyBass]

Thank you so much, brother!!

[@Chrisdead27]

I really did enjoy the cover and you really do remind of someone.
This is one of my favorite songs by Green Day and that bass line looks very complicated.

[@SpindleyBass]

Thank you so much, dude!!

[@Chrisdead27]

@@SpindleyBass your most certianly welcome.

[@hk_4014]

For some reason this was in my recommended videos. Great job tho! Mike Dirnt would be proud. U should do Stuck With Me or Panic Song next.

[@dungeonmaster420]

Nice played mate but you need a simple Fender P-bass for such style of music and don’t forget to cut your mids if you play with pick! You guitar tone is so wide and thick i wound rather see a Mudvayne cover with that one

[@SpindleyBass]

Thanks, bro!.. I did actually cut my mids slightly for this one, but the Spector sounds bloody huge! 🤣
... and you wouldn't catch me dead with a P Bass! 😅😉

[@CaptainKirkDiggler]

This dude DEFINITELY lives with his girlfriend lol!
Legit great cover though!

[@SpindleyBass]

Haha!! It's quite obvious, isn't it?! 😅
Thank you so much, dude! 🤘😎🤘

[@CaptainKirkDiggler]

@SpindleyBass Lol! Just watched some more of your videos. GREAT variety, and ALL played well brother! Music saves 🤟

[@SpindleyBass]

@@CaptainKirkDiggler thank you so much, mate!.. I really appreciate that, man!

[@scottlapier4797]

What's your recording set up? You get such a nice upper midrange "snap" that reminds of a demeter preamp.

[@SpindleyBass]

Thanks, dude!.. I don't use any kind of preamp or cab sim, at all... I just run my bass direct, and use the on-board Controls to shape my tone! 🤘😎🤘

[@devinthierault]

And he looks EXACTLY like Mike Dirnt :p

[@SpindleyBass]

😅😅😅

[@floydlay9189]

Great playing,,,,he's bass lines were very influenced,,by BRUCE FOXTON,,of THE JAM,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,IMO!

[@SpindleyBass]

Thanks, dude!!... and yeah, absolutely!! 🤘😎🤘
