The rig for the recording of this tune was a little unique - Fretless StingRay, played with a pick, with OC-2 and a truly heroic amount of compression. Levin apparently used 2 compressors, one at the beginning of the signal chain and one at the end. One of the all-time great bass lines in a pop hit for sure! Great work @coversolutions
I think he also tuned down his E string down to Eb but kept the rest in standard?
Plus, the 8v preamp in a stingray is itself a compressor
Actually Levin used a Sabre (two pickup bass) the "Classic albums" documentary revealed it as such.
@@RastaSaiyaman A high quality version of that video just popped up, it's actually surprisingly a fretless Cutlass 2 bass!
Its def tuned down
I can't BELIEVE this guy put the chords AND modes as well!! This channel is amazing.
Such a helpful thing, when so many bass channels simply don't do it.
chords and *notes.
@@armysniperman80 chords and modes was right. OP is referring to things like "Eb (Mixolydian)" like at 1:20
One of your best covers. Tone was plenty sufficient. Hard to nail Levin’s exact tone on this one. Bravo!
levin used multiple output sources when doing octave effects, so if you want to nail it for real, you need to use 2 amps or direct into the board twice.
you can either split the signal before the octave, or use a unit with a dry-through/out.
@BrantheBroken It was fretless too.
Plenty sufficient. Profusely adequate! Terminally ordinary!
I play today sledge hammer. I am 53, I used to play bass guitar when I was 18 then I left for work. I am enjoing strarting again. You gave me an opportunity! Thank you!
Finally!!! I don't know how a bass channel could go this long without doing this song

Hello. As is say on the description, i'm not quite happy with the tone on this one but i think is good enough. Check the description on every video for more info. Let me know if you need any help.
Play basket case pls :(
I don't know how close the tone is to the original song, but I personally really enjoy it!
The reason why you're not so happy with the sound you achieved on this song is, Tony Levin played the Bass Line using his "Funk Fingers" . That means he attached short Drumsticks to his Index and Middlefinger and hit the Strings with 'em. He didn't use a Pick on this song. Watch Secret World Live Concert on DVD.
@@091019711983 wow that's nice. I could have tried that
@@CoverSolutions Sorry I have to correct myself. The Song at this Concert he useses Funk Fingers was "Steam". I tried this method a few years ago... Oh boy... Practice, practice, practice, but the sound you get once you found out how to use the Funk Fingers correctly is amazing. Long live Tony Levin. By the way... I also learned a lot from your Videos. Now I know how to play Tool's " Schisms " correctly. Thanks for that.
One of the best basslines ever! Thanks for this. Great playing as always 👍🏻
I liked the tone a lot during the choruses and any time you were playing the low end sections. Good video as always!
Despite you not being happy with the tone, I thought it was incredible and added a bit of niche flair to an already great song. Nice work!
As others have said, it’s hard to nail Tony Levin’s tone, but you did a fantastic job. One of my all time favourite songs, congrats!
i've been waiting for this cover so long thank you so much!
Thx, you're my savior - I didn't get by ear the "tricky" lick , and got to play the track in a few days with my band !
Very good choice! As always great quality, will go to the repertoire for sure.
This bass riff has taken over my mind, it’s insanely funky
More like plodding. It might seem funky to us white boys, but compared to funky funky, this is plodding, just like the movements in the video. As if a burdened step was taken for every snare hit. The rest is the body preparing itself for the next step, so burdened, so laborious, so bludgeoning to what may be underfoot. Like some type of heavy weight hammer, used generally for destroying otherwise impervious structures, which apparently can include relationships and attitudes as well as the tangible. Who knew? Funky? Okaaaay. Right. Like funk. Funkesque. Alluding to funk. Reporting as funk. Not funk. There IS a halfhearted funk break, lots of them, but overthought and underfelt. But yeah. No. Funky -ish ain’t funky. That chic is so stunning! Or she’s stunning-ish. The ear of the beholder doesn’t redefine funk. It doesn’t even stank.
@@andrewhigdon8346 This has to be the most gatekeeping bs I've seen in years. I appreciate your description of the sledgehammer feel, but...no.
@andrewhigdon8346 funk or not, there's some good groove here that makes people of every color move. I've seen it first hand. Calm down dude.
Tony Levin is one of my favorite bassists, this is so good!
I love the tone -- and the technique! Will be doing my best to emulate this. Thanks!
Well done CoverSolutions!!! (Nice bass too.) Thank you for sharing your expert and professional chops. Am Subscribing and hitting PLAY again. Here We GO!!!
Great job with the tone, that sounded great
Don't be so hard on yourself, that was sweet!
Thanks for putting this out man, super fun to play! :)
Thank you!This is my favourite song!
Well, I find it really funny how at the same time I start to learn this bassline you upload a video of yourself covering said song. Pretty cool how things happen like that (and great vid, my friend). 🤘
Simplemente pulento, un grande brother, aprendo caleta con tus videos
Hell yeah! Been wanting to learn this one.
I like the way the bass sounds. I don't know if it sounds like the recording but it's a cool tone.
The entire song is straight funk. Thanks for isolating this track. Tony Levin would approve.
Can't like this enough! Tony Levin is a master
Excelente Cover. Me hace recordar el video de esta canción los efectos revolucionarios para esa época
I beg you please do "digging in the dirt". Love 4 the effort man! Thank you so much, best bass tab channel period.
FANTASTIC!!!! THANKS A LOT FROM VENEZUELA.....
Such a great bass line, Tony Levin is a bass genius definitely!! ✌️😁
Great Job Bro! Awesome!
Wonderful! Thank you!
bravo, i realy enjoy
Crazy thing I noticed from live footage, Levin plays primarily with upstrokes. Amazing cover.
Oh Baby I Love This Oh So Much!
Awesome man
Been wanting to play this track for years, you make it look easy. lol my fretting fingers are sore as fcuk now 👍
The one and only Tony Levin. It'd be awesome to see you do some his stuff from King Crimson! "People" is a pretty funky fun bassline to play!
💥💯💥Absolutely Perfect!!!!!💥💯💥
Awesome 👍🎶
Love it
Awesome
Love it great cover, tone sounds great too: don’t “fret” ;)
Excellent! This is not an easy song to cover but you've done it due justice! I just hope that I can do the same.
good tune
excellent thanx
Bravo🥇
Beatification man
I never knew I always wanted an octave pedal.
To defy the laws of tradition by primus please
Kieran Ota I second this
I 3rd this request
Killer queen
Nice ❤
Great video. Could you do King Nothing by Metallica
I'm late to the channel... new sub here.. nice job! Cheers!
Could you play a cover of Limelight from Rush please? This was a great one for sure!
Sweet
Nice cover! You should also do "Big Time" by Peter Gabriel, and play it with a drumstick like the original :D
Yo también quierooo esaaaa
I hear G# major working as a dominant instead of minor on the intro right before the vocal and the loop at the end the Eb sounds more like Ebm modulating again back to the the intro tone.
As you are using an octaviser (down one) and I'm playing a 5 string without one, I'm doing this down one octave with the Eb on the B string.
The funk is real
Hola, grandioso cover. Podrías sacar el tema kotikonnut de korpiklaani. Te mando saludos desde Chile :D
Love your channel. You should do gimme gimme gimme by abba.
Great work there... This has really helped me. Which envelope filter did you use?
Do you mind me asking what pedals you used please? I thought it sounded great! Nice playing and thanks for the tab.
It’s funny, I remember learning this off the CD when it first came out, and I just assumed Tony had tuned down a half step to E flat, and now I can’t imagine playing it standard tuning!!
👑
good
American Teen by Khalid
PLEASE I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find a good cover
Wow
love the covers. any chance you could to the song Colors by Beck?
Surprisingly heavy song
Very good. Can you do "Pamela" Toto
Great vídeo, could you do ride The lightining from Metallica?
Can you play the lost art of keeping secter from qotsa
Could you post Impressioni di settembre (PFM), Patrik Jivas version. I do not find any tabs!
Damn I just learned this is the guy from King Crimson. What a funky badass bass line.
Now when I hear this song I won’t just think of those dancing turkeys. 🦃 👍
Please please!!! Cover of “promise- alborosie”
A good compression setting for this is a attack at fast as possible, extremely high ratio. With a compression sustainer, sustain at max
love this channel so much! could you do jesus christ pose by soundgarden? :)
What bass do you use?? I really love it
How do you NOT dance while playing this? That's the part I'm having the hardest time with.
I can't hear this song and not move.
Is there any way you could do a cover of suicide policeman, by the band Yuck. I’ve been looking everywhere for it and can’t find it 😫
Please do Rusty Cage - Soundgarden. !!
Could you play John Frusciante's CENTRAl for bass?
Bro that tone!! Can you tell us a little how you got that tone?? Amps? Effects?
there's some info in the description below
Que app usan para hacer las distintas afinaciones
That is one sexy tone on this one, hot damn
You gotta do Frank Zappa Valley Girl!
top
Please make the cover of steam!
Please do "You can't hurry love" by Phil Collins. Please please please!
If you have a 5 string bass like me, you can just transpose the notes an octave lower (for example the 6th fret of the A string would be the 4th fret on the B/H string.
Dragon of the Skies post a video of you doing it this way, would love to hear it that way
Himan salam wa3alaykum
mate khrajsh 3andak safi

Do steam by Peter Gabriel
I understand the octave pedal but can someone tell me what the envelope filter is for in the intro?
I challenge you to make a cover of one of these soundtracks! You'd be the first one ever!

My Last Words by Megadeth would be great!
