Awesome! Killer tone, you nailed it!!

Speaking as bassist and vocalist. Ic you can hack a bassline by the Icons themselves BOLT THROWER this well. U r way ahead of the game. You made that Fender Precision sound incredible. The p bass is my main as well. Very tight and accurate.

Love that tone 🤘🏻⚡

Solid headbanging . A+

Damn great job and tone dude!

Amazing

Great job! I like Your tone Dude!

Amazing bass cover dude!!!! What a fucking tune, love it! Greetings from Bosnia

great bass playing, great penguin, beautiful hair

Jo would be proud

Perfect

I don't know the song, but it is a super fkng awesome cover, the bass blends with the song so seamlessly.... Most bass cover in yt kind of feels disconnected from the song imo..

Beefy! Bass sounds like Jo Bench tone.

Fuck yeah! Bolt Thrower is still one of the most underrated death metal bands. Maybe they get more shine in Europe, I don’t know. But in North America, no one ever talks about them.

In the circles I hang out in, there probably isn't a more unanimously appreciated death metal band. At this point, it's almost a cliché to hype them up. One of the best ever.

It's a damn shame N-America isn't on board with the Bolt-Thrower legions. Here in The Netherlands they are held in the highest regard and I saw them many times over the years. One tour they even had my compatriot Martin van Drunen (ex-Pestilence, Asphyx) on vocals.

Nice,

Очень достойно 🤘🔥🤘

my guy, what settings are you using for your darkglass b7k (im assuming)? this shit sounds absolutely massive. Great playing!

Oh man! I recorded this a while ago, so I don't remember exactly, but I think the trick with getting the Jo Bench sound was to set the grunt switch to boost, cut the attack, boost both the mids slightly and roll the tone back off the bass. Then just crank the drive and blend until it sounds right.

@@smitchellbass thank you so much for this! I’m glad I asked because I wouldn’t have thought to do the attack / grunt settings like you did or to boost lo and hi mids & scoop the bass a little bit

@@nickys4650 Hope it works out! It's worth nothing that my bass has the "greasebucket" tone circuit, or whatever it's called, which I think means that the tone control doesn't boost the low end as much as a standard bass, it *just* rolls off high end.

Easy to play but you got the sound and the groove. congrats

That bass tone is amazing,how did you get it?

Loads of metal bass tone tutorials etc. will vastly overcomplicate it. All you need is a good bass (I'm just rocking a precision here, the jazz pickup isn't turned on in this) and a good drive. Don't go too overboard with treble, don't neglect low mids and bass (I've actually got the tone control rolled off about 50% here if I remember correctly). Play about and use your ears - everybody hits the strings differently so we could have the exact same rig and sound very different. The drive I'm using here is the Darkglass B7K, but you can do about the same job with any good drive with a blend control. Play hard, and then that's about all you need!

Tabs?

What pedal did yall use for this?

I used my Darkglass B7K Ultra V2. I think it's quite underappreciated in its capacity for crushing old school tones like this, most people only seem to use it for that super shrill modern bass OD.

Dude are ya using the bridge pickup?
