\"\"<\/a>When I posted the clips for my new Profile Signature Model Bass <\/a>on YouTube, I found quite a few bass players\u00a0who\u2019ve taken the time to cover some of my parts \u2026 because they like them.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a selection of some of the best … Nice playing, one and all …<\/p>\n

Pump It Up \u2013 Geant Kor Grand Di<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are several versions of this bass part online, but I like this one because it\u2019s played standing up (with the bass worn at the right height) <\/em>and it grooves.<\/em> The exotically-named bassist has EQ\u2019d out most of the original bass part, so the playing you hear is his.<\/p>\n

This Year\u2019s Girl \u2013 Wes Mitchell<\/strong><\/p>\n

This sounds great on Wes\u2019s Rickenbacker and lends the end a bit of a Macca feel.\u00a0 Note the ‘other’ Beatle bass in the guitar rack …<\/p>\n

Love Went Mad \u2013 John C McCain<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve\u00a0included two performances by John McCain of South Portland, Maine \u2014 who plays tracks that are not often chosen, both from the Punch the Clock<\/em> album.\u00a0The first is played on a full-size bass that looks a more than a little familiar.\u00a0 What I like about John\u2019s playing is his articulation \u2014 he keeps it crisp and tight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lip Service \u2013 Jean Michel Jodon<\/strong><\/p>\n

The enigmatic Frenchman has done a great version here \u2026<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Accidents Will Happen \u2013 <\/strong>Troy Hughes<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also put up two selections by Troy, because he gets all the notes right \u2014 even my noodling and doodling on the outro.\u00a0 The guys behind him look like a fairly typical Attractions\u2019 audience, too.<\/p>\n

TKO \u2013 John C McCain<\/strong><\/p>\n

John’s second track\u00a0is played on a scaled-down practice bass \u2026<\/p>\n

Oliver\u2019s Army \u2013 Troy Hughes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another \u2018note-worthy\u2019 version by Troy to round things off \u2026<\/p>\n
