Bass cover of beabadoobee track "She Plays Bass". Recorded in Logic via Kemper profiler. Disclaimer: this is not how Eliana plays the song. It's just my quick interpretation with no visual reference for me to go on.
It truly is...I saw a diff bass cover and later went to the official to learn it but, like you said, it's not that easy to hear. I like Adam Robertson's cover. Thanks Adam~
@@mmolly-mk2bl she said I play it a little differently from how she does, but props to me for learning it. Featured this vid on her Insta story at the time saying the way I play it was strange in comparison.
Hey, won't you call me back? 'Cause I've been waiting for a text back It hurts my brain This chick who plays bass She plays bass, she plays bass Nothing matters 'cause we're both in space Pretty shit we didn't ever date She plays bass, she plays bass Yes, we're both stuck in the same boat The world doesn't seem to get us though You're just stuck in space Just playing your bass She plays bass, she plays bass Nothing matters 'cause we're both in space Pretty shit we didn't ever date She plays bass, she plays bass She plays bass, she plays bass Nothing matters 'cause we're both in space How I wish we could just date So you can teach me how to be more like you Wish I was more like you Wish I was more like you Wish I was more like you
Use a metronome and play it reeeaaallly slow. Once you get it down, do it a tiiiiny bit faster. Then again and again until you get it up to speed. You gotta learn to walk before you can run ;)

Very awesome cover! This came at a perfect point when I needed a challenging song that wasn't unapproachable :) That being said were there some different notes and timing being played compared to whats on screen? Just asking because I can't tell if I'm going crazy or not? Again thanks for the great cover/tabs
Yeah, I had my old computer when I wrote this. That thing was just stuttering along on it's last legs - no ability to scroll when I was recording, so had to attempt what I'd written down from memory, so my playing isn't bang on what I wrote. At the time, Eliana shared the vid via Instagram, which led to a brief DM convo. The positions I use for playing aren't absolutely 100% the way she approaches it, but there's more than 1 way on a bass to play the same notes. The way I approached the notes is what was comfortable for me, but then again , I'm a guitarist, not a bassist. Hope that helps!
@@Highstrummer Haha gotcha, you matched it pretty closely in that case. Just a couple parts threw me off lol. It's cool you got to dm! I feel like most tabs probs aren't 100% accurate anyways. Tabs are kinda like rough sketches anywho (though it is nice when they are accurate) I really enjoy this tab, its more fun than the others I've found :p
That one I'm using was an "Eastwood". It was given to me for free, but I've seen them in pawn shops for under £100. Fender squier bass guitars are always a good shout, but can be a bit more pricey. Starting pack is about £250 with an amp etc. Check eBay for the likes of a Westfield or Jim Deacon bass guitar. They're cheaper copies of Fender models, but hey, if I can make a no-name copy guitar sound decent, so can anybody else.
