Hey! This is Dave, thanks for checking out the channel. This channel is about creating bass guitar tabs for songs that I either can't find an existing accurate tab for, or just songs that I like playing. And now - interviews with the people behind the music!
I hope that the tabs helps you and that you enjoy the interviews!
Are the songs played perfectly? Hell no! I learn them well enough to play through to demonstrate the tab, but I don't spend weeks learning each song. I spend most of the time making sure that the tabs are correct, and the play through should give you a decent guide on how to play it. I'm sure that if you're taking any of these songs to the stage, you'll practice them more than I did to record these videos, and that's the aim, to give you the ammunition to nail the songs!
All tabs available individually, or as part of a membership at www.patreon.com/BassBase
If you'd like to request a song, please head on over to Fiverr - www.fiverr.com/s/RRamLV

so far ive watched to the 1 minute mark.....(had to write...-but watching rest of it after this) OMG...that delay and tone is amazing....so much insight in the first minute!....sounds incredible, warm, and even to a degree sounds like a synth....(ok - back to the rest of the vid...) * ok so I can see how "the Edge' uses this technique that Steve adapted/evolved ...interesting.... not actually unlike a technique that Brian May (Queen) also uses when building the rhythm in various songs ie Now Im Here. ive def got to get myself a Delay pedal next..... I ONLY use BOSS Pedals ever. 3:10 "Anyone can do it" - love it!! Steve Balbi that was an incredible insight into how you structure this riff...thankyou for your time and BIG THANKS of course to you Dave for this excellent lesson with Steve. well done mate
@@aaronkelly4255 Steve was awesome! So great of him to share his secret sauce!
@@BassBase001 indeed...thats the sort of insight u only get up close and from the 'inside'.....nice
I love this so much! Thank you David Cowling for all your hard work that went well over and beyond the allocated budget for this video. You put your heart & soul into the project and it comes across beautifully. Thank you SO MUCH for your wonderful video 💖💖💖
Love it!! Great work guys!! OKAY!!! 👍👍👍
😎😎😎😎
Well done Bloxy thats positively awesome on many levels !
Excellent interview. Steve's a bloody legend and a great fella. I was lucky to meet him at a solo gig at The Vanguard in 2009.
Watched the Jeb’s last weekend, meet Ness she was lovely and yes definitely a underrated bass player, amazing bass line’s performed perfectly ✌️
I'm looking forward to catching his show at the Opera House in Sydney.
@@TmanUtube me too! I'm really looking forward to hearing his new material.
Great interview Dave best yet I think
@@dawso2o2 Cheers mate! Thanks for watching it 👍
@BassBase001I’ve shared on my social media for you too mate
Dude! from someone who was there listening from Day 1 with INXS, thank you for the tabs. Now to get my 56 year hands to play this.
Another absolute banger!
Nice man ty.
Love Barnesy , great choice Dave
Very nice great track and very helpful info
This is one ive not heard in ages.....couldnt actually recall it until I listened to it again just now... im assuming at 1m25s this must be a the PREVIEW for Patreon? nice nice....I best get my ass over to Patreon then and dive in. thx Dave
Yep, this one's a Patreon preview 👍
Not a huge fan of 80s music, but the Icehouse Icehouse album was and IS an AMAZING album. Thank you for sharing this.
Massive number from The Screaming Jets....Hugely popular over the PA in my High School Years at Scoresby High. One of the biggest tracks of the year - even our PE Teacher Mark Williams (ex Collingwood Captain and future Port Adelaide coach loved this!!) Man I was stunned - when I begun my apprenticeship at RMCPGA in North Melbourne our new teacher assigned to us in 2nd Year was none other than Dave Gleeson himself!!! what a fkn trip!!!......and my best mate in same class was Ross Hetherington who at the time was Drummer for The Swamp Rats and later Bodyjar.... what an awesome microcosm of talents those years were......thx Dave (im surprised even in myself I hadn't commented here but its good to be catching up....)
LEGEND!! Thank you so much! Gonna start learning this straight away!
@@TSlREYA ur welcome 👍 Thanks for the suggestion 🤘
Love this. Would listen to this so often as a teen.
Learned this for a cover band ànd was pleasantly surprised with the bass part. Nicely covered mate. Have you covered Bop Girl by Pat Wilson? Nice bass part. Cheers.
@@MrBassforgod777 Bop Girl! Now there's a blast from the past! I'll check it out.
Another fantastic bass part from the Carol Lloyd band from Brisvegas. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmiY06uzY9TImtY.htmlsi=zLTRinaMfCs-WU5F
hah!.....a not oft' heard classic from Skyhooks! AND surprisingly easy to whip thru first attempt too :D once u get that 'big-iron' western-y-type-ballad under the fingers - its just grooves along.... nice one Dave
Blox is a gorgeous human being ❤ I met the boys in the mid 80’s in Perth and spent some time with them. Legends!
thanks master for your best lesson
OH Wow!!! Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart ....totally was never thinking this would drop but im wrapt it did!!! Personally I consider Annie the female Freddie Mercury for songwriting....Dave Stewarts basslines are so indelibly the backbone drive to their sound.....She is amazing and if I had a Dinner Party Annie Lennox would be one of the 5 others id reserve a place for. Unreal Dave!! you keep surprising me and this is no exception m8.....nicely played also man.....tight...on point and full of rhythm. fan-bloody-tastic and big thx also.... (its a shame we cant 'claim' Eurythmics as Aussie too ...u know like Split Enz haha) ** all time fave of mine among their many huge songs is 'Love is a Stranger' - the lyrics are incredible AND the video was wayyyy ahead of its time with 'on the wrist technology ' that at that point wasn't even a thought bubble in Steve Jobs' mind.....
I just heard it on the radio about a week ago and the bass line stood out to me. I thought 'I gotta do that one!'. I'm glad it resonated! Haha! We can claim them. Why not :P
@@BassBase001 - Frankly, it's Un-Australian if we dont claim them !! lol
ive played this many times via elsewhere but its only THIS tabbing & notation that is 'honing & nailing' my approach on Bass in that NOW my timing (the rhythm) is much improved...THIS Tab is pulling together my 'Malcolm-Young-Bass-Brain' in terms of accentuating Bass Rhythm. cheers m8
@@aaronkelly4255 Thanks Aaron! Very kind of u. Glad it's working 👍🤘
Fantastic Dave it’s gives your fingers a good workout this song 🎵 and thank you mate
@@dawso2o2 Welcome 👍🤘
Year 9 I think I was when I heard this on the bus going home from High School....good times....summer....no room on bus lol gen x didnt ride with a seat for each student...wild times. Barnsey I full screaming solo glory....bout 1985-6 I think....thanks m8.... just played it now...gee bars 163-168 r a lil tricky aren't they?
@@aaronkelly4255 Yep! It's not as simple as it first seems!
@@BassBase001 for sure....no shit u make it look smooth...nice playings teach'r lol
yeaaah...this old beauty has a nice smooth feel to its progressions....just played it thru rn first time and in a second about to again....ill speak on P with you m8 in a day or two ...fixn cars and a spent a bit crook as a dog.... nice playing Dave....thx man
Great band I remember supporting them at Avalon Rsl.
Nice rig
Awesome! Well done, thanks.👍👊🎸
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, classic
Good old Bones may he RIP
Nice Dave, question with no relevance to MO, have you heard of Iron Horse, a band from Gawler SA, they opened for deep purple in the 80's and sold their own album , out of their boot of their car, excellent bluegrass, and mild rock. There are some songs on there that i would like to request you to do, how can i get a copy to you?
Hey Dave. Email sent!
Very good song,, great cover flowers/icehouse have some beauties, any chance of a Thats Freedom cover ? thnx in advance
@@thefinisher2010 I'll take a look at it 👍
Another great addition, thanks Dave. Just got a new Squier Classic Vibe 70's Jazz , might break it in with this.😊
@@user-pl3wf9bd6e that sounds like a fantastic new bass! I so want a Jazz bass!
You're putting out some amazing classics! Thanks, it's been a soulful meditation playing along.
yes awesome....loving the Icehouse vibes.....havnt had much chance recently to dive into my practice.... This will be among the first bunch I tackle when I do...great selection thankyou Dave :D
Awesome! 👏
Thanks for this, most excellent. A suggestion for your list: Unpublished Critics (Australian Crawl) and When You Were Mine (The Church). Your work is very much appreciated.
@@gregorymobbs6476 Thanks Gregory. I appreciate your support 👍 I'll add those to the (long) list.
Cooking on a Oil rig

Trying to get my wife to learn the Bass, reckon this will do it. Thankyou for sharing mate.
