I always loved John Taylor and picked a lot up from his sense of rhythm, he plays like there's no drummer, like it's his job to do the entire pulse of the piece, Rio is probably the best example, but this is a belter too, and perfectly played :D
One of the best Bass covers of this track that I've ever heard! This is one of my favorite DD songs, and John Taylor Bass arrangements ever...Great Job Ma'Man!!
You've just nailed it, congrats! JT basslines are so inventive, efficient and timeless... Most of bass players don't have his gentle, subtle way to create immersive and incredibly melodic lines... Hats off Sir!
Oh, man! you absolutely nailed this one, from beggining to end!! this is one of my favorite DD basslines ever! This was awesome, congratulations and thank you, cheers, from Argentina!!
John Taylor always sounds so good it’s almost like he mixes different parts together. It’s good to see that someone can actually play his part through a whole song. I know nothing when it comes to musical instruments. Thank you for this display!
Wow !!.... just wow again, my friend !!👏👏👏 Liked as always really very much !!👍🥰 Thanks for sharing😘 Have a wonderful weekend ! Many kind greetings, Arlette
you know the bassplay with duran duran is like what the drums were for The Police fucking epic , godlike stuff , always when you play it it amazes you till this day astonishing it is
One of my favourite Duran songs, played by my best mate on an absolute monster of a bass :) Awesome cover Jase and hope to catch up with you next week ;)
Clearly a JT fan... Only a die hard would have an Aria and Kubicki... What is your opinion on the two? I own a Kubicki and used to have the Aria but not an SB1000. I find the Aria is that classic DD sound from the first 3 records. The Kubicki has a deeper groove. Perfect for Notorious record but I don't think the Rio album sounds as good on one. I'd love to hear a fellow player's opinion. Great playing! Long live JT.... Requests? Jam Khanada!
Yeah there is quite a few. It depends on how complex the song is. If its basically just root notes following the drums, about 20 mins but if its complicated, maybe a few hours. Some take maybe 10/12 hours of practice to nail down if they are really hard.
I try and balance the mix of the bass so it's not too overpowering, but still prominent so it can be heard easily. I hope the vid helped you hear the bass line. Thanks for dropping by. 😁
I'd love to Mauricio but I wouldn't know where to start. There's plenty of good bass tutors on RU-vid that would do a better job than me. Good luck with your bass journey 🙂
How you doing bud , Quick update: I manage to finally buy a JD Supernatural Series III Bass Guitar but i dint think that was ever in your bass radar... At the moment ive managed to track down 2 legit Phil Kubicki Factor Bass Guitars but 1 Seller wants me to travel his country & he's willing to let it go at a reasonable price but going there would mean he'd have to definitely say hes keeping it aside for me & when someone turns up at your down willing to take your bass guitar & pay for it then & there , i can understand why msny Sellers would do this , & hence why i doubt I'll get that one... On the othet side of the coin is a Seller having 1 of Phil's up for sale also but he is literally asking silly money & anyone who bout that wouldnt see any change by the time the P&P & the usaul Income Tax , when added , take his Kubicki selling for over £4000 & with respect to him , tgeres no way im paying £4000 plus on one preowned bass guitar & i understand the rarity of them makes sellers ask for more but that Japanese Seller is well out of order but no doubt he can afford to wait & hope someone is foolish enough to pay that kind of money... Quick Question About Simon's Lyric on their 3rd album & though ive been a huge fan from the beginning & with the first 2 albums i could unlock & decipher what the lyrics are about but on the 3rd Album i havent a clue as to what Simon is singing about & even fellow band members felt he was acting more like a poet than a lead singer writing songs that can be figured out... I saw a John Taylor interview & this was one of the topics that were up for for talking about & by the time they got tp the album " Astronaut " they were glad to hear him sing songs that could eadily be understood & also spoken from the heart & not just some whimsy topic that he was well known for writing & hence why i've always believed that Simon isca poet first & a song writer second... The reason im bringing this up is because of the lyrics in New Moon On Monday & then theres " Union Of The Snake " others on that album are head scratchers... My JD should be delivered some time this week & i was hoping to have a Kubicki deal done also but 1 Seller wants me to travel to his country & the other has seriously overpriced the Kubicki he is selling... I hope this comment finds you in good health & as always Take Care & All The Best... .....
@@JustPlayingBass I take it your asking about my JD Supernatural Series III Bass Guitar that should arrive at somepoint this week... Regards to the price of that Kubucki I was politely honest with the Seller & I did inform the Seller that it won't sell at that price & sure enough that Sellers Alloted Advertisement Space closed last night & no one bought it... I understand that they are super rare , especially Phil's Kubicki Factor Bass Guitar , but there's a point of principle you just don't step over & once I sent him how I broke down the cost it would be , I still never got a response... I've never done this before but I decided to offer the Seller what I thought that Kubicki Factor Bass Guitar was worth & at a price that was not being disrespectful to the Seller & I offered the Seller the price I picked & that Seller could have x amounts in his bank for selling it at a price I thought was enough or doesn't the Seller want to see the time expire on his Advertisement Slot but have no x amounts in his bank account & I got absolutely no reply... This was buying it at & at times what these basses are known for having to cough up for & even that price can be too much but too many think they can drive on the gravey train & ask what they want... But as I also informed the Seller & remind the seller that these are very difficult times for everyone around the world because this coronavirus wiped out a lot of smaller independent companies & that a large amount of Staff found out their work was still there & open for business but they couldn't afford to give the Staff Members the shifts they used to have & for many , again , so many were let go as they couldn't afford to pay for their salaries & hence why I said what I respectfully said but also that I wasn't going to be one who let a Seller ask that amount of money yet there were millions put of jobs & I had to scrape the money together to pay out on what I thought a Kubicki Factor Bass Guitar was going to be sold to me at a price that even I was pushing the envelope back & this was tp see IF the Seller would take what I offered which was an extra £200 on top of what other Kubicki Sellers were asking & again I got no reply... I'll keep looking for a Phil Version of his Kubicki Factor Bass Guitar but I'm not going to pay way well over the odds because of a greedy Seller trying to cash in on the suffering of so many millions that lost their jobs & that I had to go against what I thought was enough but it was still never sold but I've been searching ling enough now , not to get too attached to a particular Kubicki Factor Bass Guitar that I thought I'd get but there are so many others that are also going into bidding wars & I just can't be bothered with that... In light of this still ongoing coronavirus and it's variants stay safe and healthy bud... .....
