Green Day - Basket Case Bass Cover (With Tab)

Bass cover of "Basket Case" from the album Dookie by Green Day. For my Grabber unboxing video I had a ton of you asking for me to cover songs off of Dookie, so I decided to cover this classic and I'm overdue for a Green Day cover seeing as my last Green Day cover was 4 yeras ago. I always knew Mike Dirnt was a rad bassist, but I didn't realize how tasteful some of his fills were until learning this song. Also I cannot wait for Epiphone to official announce his new G3 signature bass, although based on leaks/photos it will not be coming in a natural finish. Enjoy the cover!

dude this is the accurate cover ive seen. Just like the Music video where Mike uses G3 as well.

I can't imagine if you played this bass on the entire album in one take.

That new Epiphone grabber looks so amazing. I gotta get one.

[are-bass]

In grabber there is this kinda funky, bouncy and funny sound! Hard to explain

[rogiervanbesouw]

that's a nice bass! well played as well. Unlike some other bass covers you really got the timing right!

[krimekiller]

[djsangre]

I use a P, and mine is a hell of a vintage P with a beefy and dark but also clear ‘60s sound… but damn! I want that new Grabber. In black.
