The Doors' "Love Me Two Times" slap bass cover

I used a little bit of the guitar, organ, and bass riffs to concoct this bass line. I screwed up a little on the solo but I'm practicing it every day because I eventually want to do an acoustic bass cover (an actual cover without the real song behind it) of it.

It's funny man. I don't know if I could think of many songs that would be less suited to slap bass than this, but somehow you made it work! I don't really dig slap in general, so I was a little surprised at how much I found myself enjoying the track.

Oh, and a lovely Rickenbacker doesn't hurt things, either :D I know there are people out there who think you can't slap on a Ric, but I'd say this suggests otherwise!

Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yep, you don't see to many people slapping on a Ric but Les Claypool does on occasion. "Slap and pop" is pretty much the only way I know how to play and to me no bass has ever felt as good to slap on than a Rickenabacker. I'm trying to learn to slap on an acoustic, now that's a rough one.

Very cool. What are those strings?

The owner of the publishing rights to that song will not allow it on mobile devices. sucks.

Fender stainless steel flatwounds. After tearing up my fingers for years, I decided to give flatwounds a try. I really like them. While they don't sound as great as my favorite DR Sunbeams, They last longer and are much easier on my popping fingers. Just ordered a pair of La Bellas which were highly recommended by someone as great sounding flatwounds.

nice. not a fan of the slap an pop but you nailed it. great job man. i really liked it.

Great job, love the camera angle, too.
