I remember the melody mostly, but I hear songs in my head as if I'm listening to them on the radio too.
I don't like to pick a song apart and analyse it, it takes the fun out of the song for me then.
Audacity is free and stupidly simple to use, and you can convert your recordings into nearly any format you'd like.

Dunlop 1.6mm picks.
Strings will stay on my basses for a couple of months in rehearsal, because I don't generally care too much about the tone. In the studio or live is different though, and 1.5 / 2 hours playing is enough to take the shne out of them.

Are they the purple ones?

Looks like I'm on my own here...
...1.5 hours and I can kill a set of strings stone dead - but then I like a bright new-string sound and I don't tickle them.
Boiling them does work to breathe almost-new short term life back into them, but I don't really trust them live at that point.

An hour and a half? Do you have files for fingers?
About six months for me, mine are GHS half rounds and they lose that zingy sound after a week or two, and then sound like flats until they just lose all definition and clarity over night when they die a few months later.

Nu Metal? Are they a serious band, or has the nostalgia scene for nu metal started already?

Time to get the baggy shorts, skateboards and red caps out again is it?

She's not there, Santana version, the chromatic bass runs during (one of) the guitar solo(s)... G, Bb-B-C, F-F#-G, etc.

I love the Zombies' version, such a good bassline

Covers band rehearsal last night, guitarist says "Wow - what's that you're playing?" I replied "Urm ... the bass line ... as per the record". "Oh. I've never heard that bit". So now it's an added feature of the track, with him doubling up...

What song was it?
I love Chris Moyles, especially the way he talks over all of the songs and shouts his guests down if they have the cheek to talk for more than three seconds so he can tell another one of his brilliant jokes.
