We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome) Bass Cover 

Wow, thank you very much!

With you bro.

We're the same age then. I definitely have a greater appreciation for the music (and culture) of the time now than I did then. Thanks a lot Tim!

And you are too kind, but I thank you! You do the same and I'll try. Love from New Windsor, NY.

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks Ben.

I'm glad to hear that Jason. Thanks.

Thank you very much, Vagner.

I’m glad you like it. Thanks!

You've got to read some of the comments beneath his videos! Along the same line as yours and in goodnatured fun. The "dystopian vibe" thing sounds like a reasonable explanation for how it makes me feel every time I hear it. Thanks!

Yeah, she's something, isn't she?

Thanks Marvine! I'm sure we will go to see it and will be thinking of you when we do. "Hamilton" was incredible!

@@TJH3113 Tom and I want to see Hamilton. Glad you are going to see Tina. Happy Thanksgiving to lynn and your mom also. Take care. Marvine :-)

That's great to hear Steven! I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you kindly, Wagner!

Thanks a lot!

I'll have to check that one out.

THANKS MARK

Without a doubt!

I from Columbus. Haven't lived there in a very long time. Been here in W.V. since 1993. I've lived on the west side mostly. Sullivant Ave , broad St. Bunch of places

Yeah, the show definitely lived up to the hype! It was incredible. Congrats to your Son (and you) that he followed his dream into a career! The Fodera is Walnut with a fancier Walnut top. As I said in a previous reply, I have a strange habit of trying to make every bass I have sound the same.

Thank you! The Fodera doesn't like to play dirty!

Thank you kindly!

Спасибо за замечательный комментарий!

Wow, thank you!

Thanks so much!

Glad you liked it.

Thanks so much Shane.

Thanks Tom! I don't see myself getting anywhere close to Tennessee anytime soon😂, though I do have a friend who is moving there soon.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Me too! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, Nelson.

Thanks for hanging in there with me, Chris!

Thank Luke. I'm glad so many of my viewers are as open minded as yourself and allow me to upload whatever comes to mind. Take care!

Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it.

I have to say that I thought the show lived up to, if not exceeded, the hype. There is nothing like seeing a show of that quality. We've only been going to Broadway shows for 5 or 6 years (since Lynn got me "Hedwig and The Angry Inch" tickets for my birthday), but we've seen about 12. Of those, there hasn't been a really "bad" show. I don't think anything bad makes it to Broadway. That being said, there are definitely some shows that we've preferred to others. Before seeing "Hamilton", "Hadestown" was top on our list of favorites, but I could see some parts where the latter borrowed from the former. Least favorite shows were "Book of Mormon" and "Mean Girls". Even "American Psycho - The Musical" had some redeeming qualities😂. Hopefully, the Janis show will make a return at some point. Thanks, the bass is nice, but I don't think there's any reason to have this much money tied up in one instrument. I've got $400 basses that I'd find just as satisfying to play. A lot of big names showed up on the "Private Dancer" album.

I think so too!

Glad you liked it! Thanks Patrick.

Yes, beautiful bass, but the honeymoon did not last too long. As nice as it is, I could definitely find 3-6 other basses that I liked as much for what this bass cost. I don't regret buying it, but it basically confirmed what I already knew. Thanks Lori.

It was my pleasure!

I'm glad you liked it Jonathan. Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Thank you Amin... you too!

Awesome! You might enjoy some of the comments left of the links I shared. A lot of love for the 80's in there.

Thanks so much Rob.

Thanks!!!

Thanks Igor

He's not a slapper.

Like Bacopa68 said, I am not a slapper, but I did actually start learning the song (I would have had to have come up with some sort of slap-substitute), but, from what I remember, the tuning was off (either sharp or flat) and that puts me off sometimes. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point. Thanks Mike!

Thanks!

Muito obrigado! Estou feliz que você gostou.

Thanks Paul. I corrected the error (thanks for pointing it out). I usually rely on Wikipedia for my song info, so I don't know where I would have come up with "Mike Chapman'", unless there was an error on the Wiki page. Take care!

Thanks so much James. I take no offense with being viewed as a robot. I'm the first to say that I play a bit "mechanically".

Thank you. Actually, I'd give a fair number of my other basses "the edge" to this one.

I think so too!!

Thank you Lance. I can imagine!

Exact same EQ (I never toy much with my settings one I lock in something I'm content with). It probably has more to do with how it sits in with the mix of the song I'm playing along with. It's a very imprecise science and some videos just sound better than others. Thanks Art.

Someone else said the same thing. It seems like every bass sounds more like a Ric than my Ric does.

@@TJH3113 thats because you've zoned in on those frequencies on the sans amp and you have a consistent right hand plucking technique. Which I think sounds great.

Thanks Joe.

Yes, such an amazing life she's lived!

I thought it was passable, from what I remember. Thank you!

You don't see it because Troy sold it I believe.

@@hiramkhackenbacker RIP to the Wal

Yes, I sold the Wal back to the fellow I bought it from (as was our agreement) a while back. I did what I wanted to do with it and, after that, found that I really didn't play it very often.

Thank you Garyd. It's a beautifully crafted bass, but, now that I have one, it confirms what I've always believed. I have this weird habit of trying to get every bass I have to sound and play the same. I'm not interested in having a wide variety of tones available and I had to push this bass to get there. It's a very clean, polite sounding bass. The show was probably the best I've ever seen and I was pleasantly surprised that the show lived up to the hype.

@@TJH3113 everyone is seemingly more energetic now with things opening and I feel a sense of people not taking things like concerts or live performance for granted. That was very apparent in the Primus concert I saw in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. LA has been acting so crazy with Corona this and COVID that much like NY but primus came in and that was the first thing Les said to the crowd was gratitude for being able to play some music and share the creative energy with the masses. Also they played A farewell to kings in tribute to Rush and pretty much nailed it. I was so lucky to catch that show. Especially with the passion for playing that had those guys so amped plus doing the rush set I could tell that was absolutely special. They did Cinderella man and it was beautiful honestly. Primus did it justice. But anyway I know what you mean about Fodera being polite unless you push it to get some tone out of it. I bet a change in electronics would bring out something badass the bass is hiding. Mec or emg pickups would definitely change the flavor. I know I'm nuts for thinking this was on such a boutique bass but at the same time you'd be getting a bass that doesn't sound like the other Fodera basses. As always thanks for putting out the videos and you're always wonderful to talk to.

Yes, I mentioned that in my text. He's still performing and is well loved by his fans!

A lot of people have asked for that one.

Why "would" I get a fretless? Nothing personal against them, I'm just not a fan of playing them. But, you might be interested in this. The fellow I bought this bass from asked me to do some demos/covers using other basses that he's selling and one of them was a fretless. They can be found in my "Unlisted" playlist. The fretless is the Elrick.

Me too, but I have a greater appreciation for the 80's now than I did at the time. Thank Tommy... the show exceeded the hype! It was powerful!

@@TJH3113 i agree, i can appreciate some 80s stuff, that i hated at the time, others....... I especially like the disco, funky, flamboyant stuff. “BASS HEAVY” stuff. Awesome, that’s what we hear about it too. We’re going to have to check it out. Glad you had fun. We still have some things that got “postponed” that we hope come back....we have “the cursed child” (Harry Potter) play, that’s been pushed and pushed all over the place, and the Roger Waters concert....anyway, so glad you got out there and had some fun. Hope the job is going good, and your health is good?!?

No, I don't believe it was.

I'll check it out

Thank you Caballero!
