Straight out of the ’90s – Ace Combat 2 bass cover

Younger players like doing bass covers of video games, and there’s nothing wrong with that, especially considering it’s an excellent way to get technically precise on the bass guitar.

This cover is of a game released in the late 1990s from Namco called Ace Combat 2 from a track within the game called “Aim High.” It is very ’90s and very Japanese-game-sounding, but that’s pretty much the whole point.

Why are there so many bass players on YouTube doing video game covers these days?

Answer: Because it’s one of the few covers a bass player can do on YouTube without getting a “copyright strike” on their YouTube channel. If you use YouTube at all, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

If you run your own YouTube channel and have cover videos posted that haven’t been slapped with a copyright strike, it’s only a matter of time before they are. Video game music however is safe from copyright strikes. Now you know why so many bass players post them.
