Polyphia – G.O.A.T. [BASS COVER] (tabs on video)
Clay Gober is beast.
Tuning: BEADG
Regarding the annotations on the tab:
– T: thumb (slap dead note)
– P: pull
– (7): natural harmonic, 7th fret
Precise rythm and good string muting are really important on this song, so I would recommend practicing really slow at first especially if you’re not familiar with Clay Gober’s hybrid picking technique and/or trap rythmic patterns.
Good luck!
Gear:
– Ibanez EHB1005-MS
– Line 6 HX Stomp
– EBS Reidmar 750 (preamp)

ERRATUM FOR THE TABS:
2:24 and 2:42: the pulled note is an E (7th fret) and not an F# (9th fret)
Any specific cover (or any other type of content really) you'd like to see on this channel?
Thanks for watching!

Wow man, awesome.
For so long I overlooked Clay's bass playing because of just how impressive and flashy every member of this band is, but Clay (G.) is an absolute king with that shit. They all are. Nice work, man!

Nailed it, "killer execution". Death, er dead notes are spot on. Now this is such a perfect example of what this instrument is about. Kudos!
Man, I've been playing bass for over 15 years, with a hiatus since Covid to recently.. But damn, this is one of the hardest bass riffs I've ever tried to play..
I’m sending this to my friend for sure… I’m trying to learn this on guitar, and if he did it on bass with me, that’d be sick! Who knows, maybe I’ll learn it on bass just to make a point to him ????
This bassist (the polyphia bassist not you) it's disappointing to be honest, for most of the songs the bass is just meh compared to the rest. You're amazing bro good cover!
Wow damn that is so well done! Great Job — I'm oddly looking at that same bass right now to start to learn how to play stuff more like this. Guess it proves the bass can handle it 🙂 Great job
Please! Do you have a guitar pro file?
Thank you for this absolutely amazing tab! The only thing I'd like to say is that some parts in the bass solo are incorrect. The notes are correct but the fretting is not. For the start of the solo clay plays it as 2 on A, 3 on A, 2 on A, 4 on G. Also the next part is playing from 7 on B, 8 on B, thump, 10 on A, thump, thump, 9 to 11 on the D, harmonic on G
I only have a 4 string bass 🙁 Nothing i can do its driving me mad
The bass part is extremely unique and different.
Dude probably has the best version with tabs and nice editing on Youtube and just went MIA. lol

This plec/ pick playstyle is so amazing.
Like the final solution when people like to slap but also want a clean tone.
Raw
I come back to this cover again and again! It’s amazing!
Something about this baseline gives me a weird anxiety. It's like it never resolves in a satisfying way and opens up lines that it doesn't close, if that makes sense. Not a critique at all, that's probably what gives this song a lot of it's edge.

My Bass Brother, this is an amazing cover. I will try to learn and cover this one after learning Goose thanks to your upload! Keep playing and best wishes from Germany!
How do you develop this style
2:08
2:08 to 2:45 is fucking awsome
whats the bpm please?
i can do this…. oh
So you use a pick?
Can u plss do look but dont touch
1:52 wth? even 0.25 slow i cant see this
Great cover man! How did you get that tasty tone????
WWWWWOOOOOOOWWWWW amazing!
this cover sucks tbh
Awesome! Respect
Wow???? i want to play diz song
What is the tuning?
Nice cover, curious about how you set your preset,just get my hx stomp recently
Damn. Great job my dude!
So glad I found this video????
Nice vid bro 😀
Incredible work ????????
That cover is just sick… Impressive job
The bass part only hits like 5 notes yet manges to be mind-bogglingly complex through rhythm alone
Excellent job. TABs for this are few and far between (and massively contradictory in most cases) this, as far as I can tell is flawless,
I'm a finger player myself but am going to teach myself slap for this song, (Only because I could never keep hold of a pick!) Don't suppose you have a written tab handy?
here before u bl,ow up
Killer cover man. Respect.
This cover is as cool as your expression at 2:45 XD !
Holy Moly… I thought Larry Graham and Flea were good bassists before listening to this.
