Rio - Duran Duran (bass cover done with Big Al)

[melvin7822]

So today I decided to take a stab at my first web video. I think the Big Al suits this tune well. Please excuse my sloppy playing.

Rio - Duran Duran (bass cover)

Fun bass line, great tone you got going on there !

 

[Aussie Mark]

Good playing! Busy bassline for such a minimalist room.

 

[melvin7822]

Haha, I know. I even get ragged on in the office for having no pictures or anything at my cube in the office. I guess I just don't like any clutter.

Man I love that bassline. Great job! What settings? Pickups 1 and 2 in series?

Indeed, coils 1&2 in series is my fave.

 

[husky123]

Yeah it had that familiar bite to it. That's my favorite setting too.

 

[ModuMan]

Nice work! One of my favorite basslines to play and get all those little things going on. Great tone. I haven't tried a Big Al yet but now I am interested.

killer playing...........and I love the bass faces you make too........awesome.


thanks for sharing

 

[fly]

Johnny smoothness in the breakdown...........freakin' killer

 

[TommyK-Stingray]

Great playing! Love the tone man.. +1 on the bass faces!

In fact I think it is the best i have heard a Big AL sound on a tube video actually. Never really had Big Al GAS until now.....Aghrrrr.....This place is a nightmare!!

 

[Colin]

great sound

 

[MadMatt]

Wow! Awesome cover. The sound and playing is great!

Rio is pretty high on my list of songs to learn. Now it just got higher

 

[cellkirk74]

Very nice. I think I have to give that song a try myself...

I agree. I think this video perfectly depicts Big Al in series. Killer bite, growl and punch.

Awesome cover.

Great playing fella, top sound too.

 

[melvin7822]

Wow, thanks everyone. I didn't expect my first video to receive all the comments it has.

 

[tunaman4u2]

Great clips. With a Bongo HHp & a Sterling HH a Big Al is not in my future but I love the tone.

 

[MattOfSweden]

Great playing with killer sound on a wonderful song - and what a great looking Big Al!

Tuna - a Big Al is in everyone's future. You just haven't gotten to that future part yet.
