Incubus - Wish You Were Here - Bass Cover #incubus #bass

Fretless Bass Cover with Tabs of the Incubus song Wish You Were Here in Standard tuning. My Warwick bass is busted and although Dirk probably used his Jazz bass to record this song, I couldn't find a tone I was happy on a jazz. Plugged my Bongo in and the tone was right there, so a rare fretless cover of this song it is.

Wish You Were Here is a song by American rock band Incubus and the lead single from their fourth studio album, Morning View. Released on August 14, 2001, it peaked at number two on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and number four on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart that year. "Wish You Were Here" would later be included on the 2009 greatest hits compilation Monuments and Melodies.

Prior to release, the track was played during Moby's Area:One summer festival in 2001. It was announced as Morning View's lead single in June that year. Guitarist Mike Einziger noted that "Wish You Were Here" was one of the last songs written for Morning View and that "the content is about being happy living for the moment and not looking forward to the future as some event."

Vocalist Brandon Boyd also elaborated on its meaning:

"The song wasn't specifically about a person. It was about me acknowledging a very brief moment in my life and in my experience with all of these guys in making this record. In that moment, I wish that I had somebody to go, 'I love you, man.' I was wishing that there was someone there to share that moment with."
