  1. Spent some of today listening to Wes Montgomery. As a fan of The New Mastersounds I was amazed to find out that Wes and his brothers formed the original "The Mastersounds" back in 1957. We live and learn...
  2. Common sense prevails!!
  3. Relating to my thread about "Stairway to Heaven on bass" - I sent the link to a guitarist friend who replied "aren't you sick to death of that song?". Well TBH, yes....but there are other songs which I could quite happily never listen to again. Firstly, "Hey Joe" - the Hendrix version, the full length version of Layla, including the 4 hour piano solo - by Eric Clapton and (for now) "A Bat out of hell" - actually anything on that whole album - by Meatloaf. IMO the world would be a much better place if none of these were ever played again. Your turn...
  4. The bass weighs more than 10LBs? That seems to be the limit here.
  5. I know we've heard geeetards play this every way possible but I thought a bass version might go down well here.. https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.1790-2/10000000_770978667855224_2670692218194705908_n.mp4?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=55d0d3&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6InN2ZV9zZCIsInZpZGVvX2lkIjo5NzY3OTU0Mzk5NTU5MDB9&_nc_ohc=PHPMxueKdMUAX-X6X3Y&_nc_ht=scontent.fltn3-1.fna&oh=00_AfBse_J8UJNHHlFF9c-uAlLowXD5tPwRSZZWAMhaKO4lcA&oe=6609D26B
