    There's nothing cooler than someone hitting a fretless bass like this. You can bench what you like, but this is is the temple of cool.

      Probably my favorite bas lines ever. Thank you 🙏

    Honestly if this were the original version of the song, I would not notice much of a difference! Well done, amazing cover!

    I didn’t realize until recently this was a fretless bass. I thought it was a synthesizer. You nailed the part!

    @2:35... even with all the other bass moments considered, it's THESE couple of seconds that always leap out @ me!.

    Love it! Even Gary Numan said he wasn't so practiced or confident about the fretless bass when he recorded it, got someone else to play it.

    Simply Stunning. Justice to the original by Pino. Good work my friend!

    Much more challenging to follow along than to originally record the part.
    You’re an excellent musician, with great feel

    Rikki, Your bass has nice tone (more Mick Karn than Pino) and your vibrato is excellent. You might want to try the Vevo version of NIN-Sanctified (live) with Pino on Bass.

    • @rikkiboyes2830
      @rikkiboyes2830  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't head it before, fantastic bass playing by Pino! I'm actually away from my basses for a week or 2 but when I get back I'll probably give it a shot.🙂

    Hey there, wonderful effort. I wish I could be as close as you are of the "good" line. At least we can understand how accurate was and still is Pino. Quick question, how did you do your sound (I mean settings, effects if any, etc)?

    • @rikkiboyes2830
      @rikkiboyes2830  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi! Thanks alot!
      I was recording direct to the computer (using Reaper) and the I only effects I was using was compression/EQ (with a mid boost) using a Zoom B3. The bass is a Warwick Double Buck NT and and I was using the bridge pickup in 'parallel mode'.

    • @rikkiboyes2830
      @rikkiboyes2830  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! This was a while ago but it was the following as I remember -
      Warwick Corvette Double Buck with rear pink up in parallel coil mode. Slight boost to mids on the preamp.
      Zoom B3 for compression and amp emulation (Ampeg B15).

    Very good cover and great sounding base! I have a fretless base as well, but I cannot get this kind of sound out of it. Are you using any effects like reverb or compressor? Are you recording directly today computer or using a microphone and an amp? I’m finally what is the make and brand of your guitar? Sorry about all these questions but I really need help

    • @rikkiboyes2830

      I was recording direct to the computer and the only effects I was using was compress/EQ (with a mid boost). The bass is a Warwick Double Buck NT and and I was using the back pickup solved in 'parallel mode'.
      I hope this helps.

    Don't be so hard on yourself, I can only dream of hitting this like you have. The best I can do is play the intro to Hotel California on my Gretsch G-something Electric something. It's big and white. .With a sock inside. Please play more and let me latch onto some of these great bass riffs.

      I don't play my fretless as often as I should so I always feel I little self conscious when I record with it.

      Yeah the tone is more has more mid range I'm the equivalent than I'd usually use but the original bass is so high in the mix that I needed the mids to be heard clearly.
