As a bass player myself i thought it was good, surprised there was no bass covers of JK actually. It's kinda bass heavy, erm how long have you been playing? I guess you haven't tremolo picked too much, it wasn't bad it just takes practice and confidence, i always find it easier wihtout a pick depending on how fast i need to play something. Good cover and may i say SEXY BASS!

definitely work on the fast picking patterns. when i play fast patterns like that i play closer to the bridge, otherwise i just use my fingers.

thanks mate, i changed the pickguard and the bridge...I've been playing for almost 3 years. I don't usually use a pick while playing, but for the style of the song the bass has to have a sharp attack each note. I'll work on the tremolo picking part though...haha!

It's easier to play fast picking down there, but i'd still try with my fingers

Yuhuh, JK should be played with a pick. I should give this a run through sometime.

finger style can play faster near the bridge because the strings are tighter. but with tremolo picking, and using a 1.14 pick- i find it easier to pick at the neck pick-up area because the string vibrates easier without my pick having to eat through the strings.

I tend to find when i need to pick and finger faster, down near the bridge works equally well enough. But you're right, i'm just stuck in my way of playing i guess haha.

Cool cover dude, your bass is indeed a lump of secks

about your bass, is that a stock squire jazz or did you change the pick ups? if so, how much were they to buy/put in?

i love the sound of a fender jazz, but i don't have 1600 to spend right now and im curious to see if i can alter a squire to sound like a fender jazz.

the pickups are the squier stock's. The bass was 300 dollars. You can definatley alter a squier to sound like a fender jazz bass. Just change out everything to your likings. Definatley change the bridge though- cause the fender stock bridge is poop...I chnaged mine to a Babicz (they're the best!!), but Badass II's are pretty good too
