YES - 'America' bass cover video

[Mark Walker]

I made a project of covering 4 of my favorite basslines by Mr. Squire - here's the first:

'America'

 

[Duckwater]

Great work, man.

 

[mccartneyman]

WOW! Great technique & nailed the CS sound. Used to do this with my band back in '73 and it is a great workout.

 

[Kink Rimson]

Bloody great, tone, playing, the bass, it's all there!
And to top it all off you look a bit like Geddy in disguise.

What amp/amps are you you using? Any effects?

 

[lucas vigor]

That sounds exactly like Chris Squire. Great job!

 

[Mystic Michael]

Excellent Ric tone, really nice playing. Especially on Heart Of The Sunrise.

Now, when are you going to tackle the Close To The Edge suite?

Awesome cover. Lovely Ric tone. Great job.
Look forward to your next "Uncle Chris" jam

Thanks for the props, guys! These were a lot of fun. Sadly, CTTE isn't among the 4. Not much to do during the Wakeman solo section!

No FX pedals - just the bass going into an SWR SM-400 head & ADA MB1 preamp through a Hiwatt 4x12 cab (w/ 85 watt Celestions.)

That was awesome I have always wanted a 60s Ric but in South Africa we get ripped off.

The 12's help make the sound. Back in those days Chris was using Sunn amps with 6 x 12 cabinets. Saw Yes two years ago and the clank factor was overwhelming when he used the old Rose Morris. A new Rick sounded better.

great playing and nailed the sound...... one of my all time fav Chris parts for the creativity of it
