Zander Zon: Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” for Solo Bass
Time for another incredible solo bass performance by Zander Zon. This time, he tackles the Nine Inch Nails tune, “Hurt”.
The arrangement came by popular demand… Zander asked fans on his Facebook page which song he should cover next, and this one received the most votes by far.
In case you’re wondering, his bass is tuned A, E, C, E for this performance.
Is this tuning the reason for the thin strings the man uses?
he really makes the most out of 4 strings
Beautiful
If he scribes this out, I’ll have his babies.
Beautiful
Outstanding!
Nice!
Nice to hear someone doing something with so many different textures. Very musical.
Thanks for the kind words, guys!
That’s awesome that’s just friggin awesome
Absolutely wonderful play!
One of the coolest covers of this song that I’ve heard.
Just sold my bas, i give up.….can listen to this all day! Amazing stuff.
I’m interested to hear the reasoning behind the tuning.
Never mind…. A minor
That was excellent. I remember how incredible I thought this song was when NiN did it. Then Johnny Cash covered it and it blew me away AGAIN. His emeotion was so real on the track. NOW, Zander, you have reintroduced me to this great song with possible my favorite version yet. Would have LOVED to hear Johnny Cash sing over this bass line… WOW. Incredible interpretation.
It’s so beautiful it made a speck of dust fly into my eye and I had to cry a little to get it out. Thank you for sharing your work.
