    Take a listen to the great Jet Harris making a complete ballsup of this song recorded live with no overdubs on Cliffs debut album in 1959 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKnP4nupj3A[/media]

    I got a lift to the station from Nine Below Zero bassist Brian Bethell many moons ago. He was in the old Red lion in Brentford watching a blues outfit called the Cobras. I told him I was a bass player too and he asked what I used, and when I told him a Squier P he turned his nose up! Mind you this was 1985 ish.

    It is really I suppose, but I just love the grain in the wood and the block inlays

    I like this one as demonstrated by John Mc Vie, I'm not really a fan of them, but I do like this!

    Just the two I,m afraid. A 2011 US Standard P Bass In Olympic White and a Sunburst Bitsa thing I put together from bits and peices (In my avatar pic)

    Try not to get too near the mike, you are singing backing vox so you dont want to drown out the singer. Take a step back so you can year if you are pitching correctly.

    I dont mind Hartke, I used to have a Kickback combo a few years back. But people can be a bit snobby. Behringer get a rough deal as well.

    How many of you use earplugs when rehearsing and gigging? I have noticed my own hearing has been going down the pan recently. In order to preserve whats left I have bought some mould your own ones that fit your ears precisely.

    Hmmph! For a forum entitled Basschat, I have not seen even one fish related post yet!!

    Monkey Man has a great bassline, and Special Brew has a nice little bass fill/solo towards the end.

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1409938607' post='2544876'] Please please me all root notes? It has some great little walking lines in it and some tidy rock and roll style fills, defo not roots only that one. [/quote] Oh I had forgotten about the fills. Only roots for the verses then

    I suppose even Macca is guilty on songs like "A hard days night" and "Please please me"

    [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1409675143' post='2542131'] Yeah I watched this yesterday. Some interesting stories behind a lot of the tracks on the album. I never realised the bassist was English! [/quote] Yes and he was not the original bassist either, I got that wrong. It was Gary Valentine.

    Just stumbled across this on the BBC iPlayer. Quite informative insight into the first album I bought as a lad. Features original bass player Nigel Harrison being interviewed over his run ins with producer Mike Chapman.

    Quite the opposite with me My guitarists are always looking to me to help them with chords and song arrangements. They nick named me the "Chordmaster" as I always seem to know what chords go where and ask me for advice.

    Someone recently asked "What is a standard?" A look at the OP,s list should answer that question. Someone at a gig recently asked us to play "Shaking all over!" I never played it before but had a go. Its simple pentatonic bassline shapes the whole song!
  24. Hobbayne
    We do Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles. Athough its a good tune its just one note for 4 minutes!

    Michelle Steele from The Bangles. Hearing 'Walk Like An Egyptian' for the first time made me sit up and notice. I dont think she does it anymore, I recall reading they have a new bassist now.
