Bye Bye Love Bass Cover 

One of their best songs. Thanks!

the growl of that bass is awesome!

Excellent choice!! Any Benjamin Orr sung Cars song is heavily appreciated!!

Another masterclass by Troy!

Benjamin Orr was the Rock-N-Roller with The Hollywood Looks who could effortlessly Cook his Bass on Stage and make it LQQK So Easy! The Maestro Of Fashionable Coolness and a Voice that made ALL our Dates to the Show Swoon! LOLOL My Favorite CARS Tune was "Since You're Gone"! Has a tremendous back story for me personally and I just always loved the music of that particular song! I finger pick myself as Geddy was always my "Teacher". But I also loved how Chris Squire used his pick and in many ways Benjamin does his pick justice too! I read years ago that Benjamin preferred Felt Picks. Just something I never forgot! So Much Fun hanging out with you Troy and The Posse of Fans in here! Cheers From Ohio To the TJHH3113 Crowd!

Well played. I am seriously addicted to your channel.

What a talent both ways.

Love The Cars!

Most underrated 80s act. And I’ve always loved the baseline in this song

Some sneaky good bass lines from Ben Orr. He is missed

Thanks Troy for sharing this,Ben Orr was definitely the heart and soul of the cars also an amazing solo artist. RIP Ben

I knew you would knock this one out of the park.

Best 12 minute video I seen all day!

So many nuances you helped us to recognize ... never realized it before.

Ah... Benny 11 Letters! Such a great bass player. Thanks for the video.

Yes, the great Benjamin Orr. The Car's really were special. Friends from Berkeley, all truly talented. Benjamin really was underrated. CONGRATULATIONS on your Stunning new bass! Tone for miles! Great cover and breakdown. Thanks.

Your playing is soo clean and precise. Great!

Thanks. One of the best debut albums of all-time and one of my favorite albums, side two is better than side one!

Amazing as usual!!

always a fan of cars covers. crazy how similar orr's and ocasek's voices were

Fantastic cover have a good weekend

Loved it very entertaining.

You must make good money to buy All these Basses. Because I can’t keep up with you my Bass Brother! Another great Tune/Bass playing.

Great tone - thank you

That's funny - I saw the title and immediately thought of Everly Brothers Bye Bye Love! Great job!

Benjamin Orr. Can't believe he'll be gone 22 years in October. Such a talented musician. Great cover Troy. #fuckpancreaticcancer

....i can tell you were really into this one troy; great job brother 😎

sweet looking bass!

I commented on that video 3 weeks ago :) Love this song!

The Cars were one of my first concerts ('79?) San Diego. Thanks for another great upload 👌

I need to learn this by this Friday! Your video is VERY helpful! Especially the part where you play with the isolated track! Now if I can just manage to find the time to work on it this week!

Nailed it!

I think this is my favorite Bass line from Ben Orr, thanks to you I've just about got it, some parts are tricky!! With your help I am now playing Just what I needed, The Dangerous type and soon this one, I had to fend for myself on Candy-O!!😉

Bass sounds great!! Great playing as always. No one sounded like The Cars. Such a great band and Benjamin Orr was the perfect front man. I love their music!!

Well done Troy…👍

Excellent

Awesome Troy! My favorite Cars tune. “Substitution, mass confusion! Clouds inside your head!”

Loved Ben Orr. Neat guy, great bassist, writer, singer and entertainer. Gone way too soon. Great cover Troy. Thank you.

Nice job on this! Brings back memories of high school, beach beer parties and bonfires. Always loved the Cars and drove across New Mexico in a VW with no heater in January when I was 19 listening to Panorama over and over. Thanks for this Cars fix, just what I needed! 😎

Well done RIP Benjamin

It's great that you're enjoying the archeological exploration of The Cars bass lines. Love the commentary & observations at the end. I've mentioned that Ben Orr was a multi-instrumentalist - started out as a drummer, then moved to rhythm guitar (and vocalist, of course) & some keyboards before becoming The Cars' bassist. I wonder if you can hear this in his playing? The position of playing bass reportedly wasn't his favorite - but was out of necessity that he started playing. I have noted that you said in the past that you've never been a fan... how about now? ;) You seem to be really enjoy digging into the isolated bass/vocals recording. I do that quite a bit, and am always amazed at the nuances that can be buried beneath the rest of the instruments & effects. The thing about Ben, if you have time to watch some videos of live performances - he knows just what the song needs - not too much, not to little. Enjoyed this one very much - thanks, Troy!!

Awesome cover, as usual ;-)

Such a great song! That custom bass sounds so responsively amazing. Really covers the sound spectrum.

What a great lesson! Our band is playing this one and I, too, found the isolated bass which helped me get the rhythm and discover more of his work on the low E string. Having said that I think I always learn more from you playing and talking about playing whatever song, including this one. You also have an uncanny knack for posting songs just I need to learn them! Thanks as always.

Awesome. Those high notes are sounding super crisp lol.

Good Benjamin Orr cover. One of my favs. He could play and sing simultaneously. Not an easy task. Nice job. the tones just right. Yeah its starts high on the fretboard.

What a great looking and sounding bass.. great bass line.. I’ve always liked the Cars.. they have a lot of great tunes..great job on this one.. thank you for the work.. hope your well and have a great day..

Thanks so much for this Troy. I'll be playing this with Elliot Easton himself at my band's Ukraine benefit May 12th at Mulcahy's in Wantagh NY, and this one was a last minute addition. This has always been perhaps my favorite Cars song, and your lesson helped a lot!

As always you uncover (at least for me) a lot of "hidden" baselines and make an old song sound new again. I thank you for that, Troy. Great job!

What a cool looking bass, looks like a big turtle or a fancy plaque.

Nice !

Good cover well done. I also like the Trilogy of horror Zuni Warrior mask on display.

Why are your masks so cool and your playing so awesome? Come on, man, you make the rest of us look bad, hahaha!!! That was AWESOME! Man, we all miss Ben Orr.

Try this hidden gem: ‘Mendocino’ by the Sir Douglas Quintet…. I am 54 and had totally forgotten the song from 70s replay stations until Spotify recommended it!

Jeez, that is a really nice bass there - it looks like one of those Fender acoustic electrics.

Love these from The Cars. The Cars Deluxe Edition is great. The original version of Moving in Stereo - awesome. Thanks for another wonderful video.

very nice

Where were you when I needed to learn this song 40 years ago? I got about 90% of it back then with a turntable back then (no mp3 then) which is fine for playing out live anyway. Missed some of those nuances which you can hear in the isolated track. I love how you like to get every single note just like he played it on the recording. Great job as always.

Sounds great Troy! Cool bass! And one of my fav Cars songs, just brilliant in every way! Elliot Easton's solo and fills are perfect, as usual.

Nice analysis...phat tone

Great song to do, Troy. And that bass sounds AMAZING!

Yes!!! 🥰

Troy, thanks for yet another eye-opening bass tutorial. Like you, I first learned this by ear from the original track where the bass is not only mixed back, but in so many places "sounds" like it's played an octave higher. Maybe that's just a product of the mix back where we hear harmonics more than the fundamental? Maybe it's a guitar mixed over the bass? I don't know, but I agree that there's no trace of the higher octave sound in the isolated bass track. But your video has me going back and relearning the tune. Oh, and you showed me that I don't have to play this with a pick. Honestly I like this bassline v2.0 much better! Cheers! Dave L.

One of my favorite songs! Thank you, Troy!

I'm a metal head at heart with molten metal flowing through my veins and this is one of my all-time favorite albums. This album has metal roots so deep and it doesn't even know it! Love The Cars, love your insightful covers. All the best, John.

Ah, the Cars and the fabulous Benjamin Orr. For me, the voice of the Cars (no Rick hater though). Thanks for puttin’ your smart spin on it Troy. The Cars were a favorite.

Always glad to see you having fun with a new song. You make each song come alive with your playing. So Enjoyable 👍👍

Such a cool bass line. Love that bass, too.

P.S. not only a Geddy Fan but love the Cars to. RIP Rick Okasik.

Wow thanks!

Thanks for that

Ah yes, taking me back to my teenage years, and one of my all time favorite groups. Thanks for the awesome cover Troy

You always seem to get a great tone dialed in, and the chops nailed down well! Orr was awesome!...and Elliot Easton is one of my favorites also!

such a fun song - thanks for highlighting that great bass line

Great choice of song! Really brings back memories. I started playing bass a few years after this song was out and was among the first I tried to teach myself as a teenager.

Awesome song and awesome cover!

Awesome sounding bass you have there. Looks really cool as well. great rendition as always. thanks for sharing!!!!

Jesus. The way that open E note drops at the end of each verse (and a few scattered throughout the song) just kills me. It's so devastatingly effective. Great job as always Troy!

Singing this song the whole time you are playing. LOVE what you did with Ben's bass line here. Very nice TJH! 👊

The first album I ever purchased. R.I.P. B.O.

That bass tone! 👌🔥

Ooohhhh…wow! 🥰 how fun! I doubt this is the most difficult to play that you play, but this is the next best thing to hear Benjamin play besides being there in person hearing Ben play. Flawless execution, thank you.

When I first came across your channel, I searched for this song because I played it in a band in college (and it's one of my favorite Cars songs). Now today I see it in my list, and I thought, "huh, I must have missed it." But then I noticed that you just posted it today! Great to see and hear your analysis. Obviously I did not capture all the nuances in my own performance, although I'm relieved that I got most of the notes correct. Great job and thanks for posting this!

Such a great song!!🤘🤘🤘

Hey Troy, that bass is SO cool looking! Man Benjamin Orr was a beast, wasn't he? What an insane bass line! Learned something I didn't know. Thanks as always dude!

Mr Orr and Gene from KISS are criminally underrated as far as tasty bass lines go. Alive 1 on vinyl sure annunciates Genes staccato lines. Cars self titled debut is easily top 10 for a debut, up there with GNR, LZ, JHE 🤘 Keep rockin bro, your a gem on the bass!

Cars fan....used to take Ben Orr for granted...actually leaned later that he's actually better than I thought he was

Nicely done my friend

I can see the influence of Carl Thompson I thought it was one of his from the thumbnail. Bass looks/sounds awesome!

Troy, this time you can't blame anyone if they think it was the Everly Brothers' song, haha! I know very few songs from The Cars, didn't know this one, but loved it. Super bassline, super playing. Have a nice weekend!

Again a very entertaining cover my friend, never heard the song before, but I really like it, the bass line is cool. Btw very beautiful bass, like the shape and even more the sound ... fantastic ... a great instrument for a great player!

Ben Orr > Ric Ocasek... His voice is pure silk woven out of gold. Great cover Troy. It's all about the details, you have a great ear! Love the summary at the end! What kind of bass is that?? I typically don't go for unorthodox body shapes, but I dig that bass! Is it a Zon??

I had my guitar on when I clicked on this video so I started playing along. After a few measures, I put the guitar down and started paying attention. That bass! Wow. So much character in the tone. You could play that bass on a thousand songs. I love the graphic on the headstock. You must wear a wizard outfit and play an appropriate song (“The Wizard,” by Sabbath?). Are you using the Bass Driver DI (v2) for that bass?

Thumbs Up... O-H...

Ben Orr playing that why singing.. live

Benny Orr rarely played the original basslines to quite a few of the songs live. Whilst they were great lines recorded , to sing and play live, a bit too fidgety. I've seen several live vids of Let's Go and What I Needed and he jumbles it around each time. Great cover of the song.

Do you remember the version by the Everly Brothers? I've never heard this version even though you play it with perfectio as you always do. ;-)

What is that amazing bass???

great song great play is there any song you can t play?

Vale Ben Orr
