Playing bass hasn't been high on my priority list lately, so I figured what better way to destroy my fingers than to hack my way through a Mudvayne cover on bass? I didn't learn it note for note because f*ck that and my fingers need a lot of work, I was mainly interested in getting the tapping stuff (chorus) under my fingers better. Dude has such a creative way of writing his parts and it's not derivative of any player I know of.
Spector Pulse - AxeFX III on one of Austin Buddy's bass presets for the Porta-Bass, but there's a DI track as well I tweaked a bit.
Definitely tricky getting a bass tone that allows that tapping/sliding stuff to pop out right and I can definitely see why there's never been a lot of low-end coming from the bass on Mudvayne albums, there's practically none in the bass itself. I have blisters on my middle finger in two different spots from that f*cking chorus part, I had to keep adjusting which part of my finger I was putting down.
