I thought...

I really thought that it was gonna be easy.

Man was I wrong.

Also...don't judge me. I was in my rat mode before bed. 🐀

Nice! ... makes you wonder how some of those bass girlies play and smile at the same time :p .

So much of bass playing is getting the basics right….a highly underrated skill. You nailed it.

You did awesome, really!

Don't despair Nittpicc, you are getting there! Rome wasn't built in a day and Misa didn't pop out of the womb shredding on bass . . . or was she? Much better than I could do, keep up the great work! And remember - have fun!!!

2026-09-19 12:00 Basslines like this are all about the consistency and groove, the riff on the surface is at the simpler end of things but it's the relentless nature and the stamina required to keep it going where the trickiness comes in, though the turnaround can be rhythmically fiddly also. It was a solid enough attempt but you were lulled into a false sense of security for sure. Both Bob Daisley and Mike Inez are killer rock/metal bassists, Bob who played on the studio version is often more fingerstyle (he left Ozzy's band after recording this album) and Mike (who replaced him & is credited as writing this intro riff) is famous for his picked based playing with Alice In Chains who he then joined in '93 amongst work with many others (he also played on the first Slash's Snakepit album, which I still love 25yrs after first hearing ti). If I'm gonna critique your playing & suggest tweaks, main thing I would mention is that you're picking too close to the bridge and making life harder for yourself in the process. This type of riff bouncing off the open string benefits from playing where the string is a little looser, you're currently over the middle of the bridge pickup which is contributing to that bright initial attack but also doesn't let the D string really ring out fully, there's more ping and less body to the notes than is ideal. If anything your picking hand is going a little too punk rock rhythm guitar and it's introducing a touch of tightness as well. I'd suggest trying moving where you strike the string an inch or so closer towards the neck, around the end of the gap between the two pickups. It doesn't sound like a major change but I think you'll soon feel and hear the difference in practice. I think you've got both volume controls set to full, you want to try rolling down the bridge volume (middle of the three controls) maybe 20% which will warm the sound up a bit. The other things you're missing tonally is some compression to even out the note attack and a nice slow Chorus FX which really fills out and widens the sound. In the studio version it's most likely some kind of rackmount stereo chorus, but you should be able to get in the right ballpark if you've got a half decent multi-fx unit (think I've seen one in the background on some of your videos).
