Wow. You are truly a bass god. Sadly, the second video seems to be blocked.

Btw, what's that neck pup?
 
Brilliant playing man, just loved it. So lively, agressive and spot on. I enjoyed Wrathchild a lot, since I love Maiden, one of my favourites from them and pretty demanding piece as your video makes obvious. :)
 
Awesum playing Kascollet, thanx for sharing man !...8:
 
IMO these tracks sound better then their original tracks, but then again, what can beat a rightly played Thumb NT...

good playing Kascollet!
 
Thanks guys !

The Thumb(s), indeed makes it all. What a bass.
Sometimes, there's a kind of Precision Bass thump coming out of it, witch is quite weird considering the PU configuration.
 
VerY-very good playin & sound'!)
What kind of strings do You use for the RATM-cover? Right now I search the strings for sound like this
 
At this time, I used DR Bootzillas in 130-45, with a very (too) low action to give me all the "zing" I wanted.
I switched back to D'Addarion ProSteels (same gauge) but the tension is a bit too high and the sounds lacks some body.

I think I'll change strings once more with some DR High Beams.

Since I'm horrible what comes to learning something from ear. Could you make tabs for that "basic groove" sounds damn awesome loved it and would like to learn it just for fun :d

edit: and that thumb tone released my GAS for thumbs :<

You need to train yourself man. It is not a big deal, just have to start playing songs from the radio with your bass. Your ear will be better very soon, trust me!
 
Flo is right. For simple things like this, you can train your ears and find all the line easily... and that suits me fine because I don't have the skills to write it down for you :lol:
 
Blah you are right maybe I'm lazy too.. Well atleast you have awesome skills to play! Subbed on tube

I agree with Flo. I have a love hate relationship with Tabs. Most of them don't sound correct, when I try them, so I have to figure them out myself (which is the best to do). But I don't mind using them as a blueprint to figure what sounds correct to my ears.
