Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

There was a cover song competition on another site for the song "Nowhere Man". Here's my entry:

Solid!

Sounds great, Mark!

Fine job, Mark!

Mark,

That is a fanatastic version. I loved it.

Thanks everyone!

Still need to tweak a few things...need more variation on the drum track, must mess with the EQ and compression settings, re-sing a few pitchy vocals. The bassline is going to be re-done by a "gunslinger" I know who can nail the baffling part played by Macca...only he'll be using a Hofner...wish I could lend him my 4001, but he lives in another state. But that's OK, Paulie always played it live with the Hofner.

Appreciate the kind words!

Very well done.

What are you using (models) for guitars / amps? Great tone!

Peace.

Hi Richard. I was miking an Alvarez Yairi acoustic and playing a Reissue 57 Stratocaster through a Vox ad50vt set to model a Vox AC-15. And of course the Burgundyglo 72 Rickenbacker 4001, direct in.

Thanks!

Mark

Another great job on one of my favorite Beatle tunes, Mark. 'Nowhere Man' was the song that illicited my Beatles epiphany when I was a kid. Those vocal harmonies are truly the stuff that legends are made of. Nice job on the production, too. I like that you put the vocals in the middle of the stereo spectrum, instead of off to one side. I'm surprised to hear that the guitar WASN'T a Rick. Did George us a Rick for the original?

Thanks Mark! I read on this forum somewhere that it was one of the sonic blue strats. Biscuti? Can't remember..

Excellent Mark i wish icould do that you rock

Mark great job! I think that may be the best cover of Nowhere Man I have ever heard.
