Hello ! Welcome ...

So there I was trying to multi task , open tbe door   sit on the bed and have a quick mess with my bass and as I sat on the bed... my Vox mini amp just fell to bits ... obviously school boy error on my part , for just flopping down with my bass in hand...  so I have to get this soldiered and glued ... frustrated... anyone use alternatives to the Vox? 

I am  currently listening to the new  desert sessions  volime 11/12 album. What an eclectic album !  I love it 

I do love good lyrics and its raw passion to convey something. Then I always spoil songs I think I know the words to i add my own words or  what it sound like ha ha.  What a awful habit. So I do try and learn tbe right words on occasion. 

Hi Spondonbassed and Teebs, thanks for the welcome. 

Hi guys, just touching  base ( no pun intended) god knows how many times that's been used ! Anyway after a long break away from this forum , very little in bass playing improvement  has been achieved.  However, my desire is back lol.  Messed with drums to see if it would improve my playing and I even messed with a ukulele !!  So here I am. 

I loved the 80s sound rich in bass tones. Fave albums well too many to mention. I do love lexicon of love -abc , Cupid and psyche - scritti politi. The hurting -tears for fears. Duran -Rio and kick by inxs ! But again there's so many -no parlez - Paul Young sticks out as a much played album .., ok gotta stop ha ... And the list goes on

Gutted! A music pioneer and icon who was just one of a kind! RIP David Bowie you will be missed.

I am gutted, he was my icon and my hero growing up. Rip 😓

Good choices Japanaxe ! Me too a big fan and my fave album Scary monsters and fave song Golden Years ! I love his music and all that he has brought to music.

Ah cool sorry to reserect an old thread! It's indeed a great album. The vinyl sold out in the merch section of the Bowie website.😀

Yeah Japhet ! Apparently he visits a bar in NY regularly and saw this jazz collective and asked them to play for his new project ! Cool ! Not sure how it sat with Gail Anne Dorsey ??? Agreed to last few posts I love all the early 70s and scary monsters period but this album is a real different approach . Great album and as mentioned great musicians playing.

Thanks Spectoremg a nice little link😀

Totally agree some great musicians mentioned there! Nick Beggs, john Taylor, and the late and great Mick Karn ! I love Rio and that bass line is infectious ! 😀

I love it too and Bowies backing band are amazing !! 😀

Anyone listened to the new album? I think it's a great sound of jazz inspired music and really far away from mainstream music scene. The band are really tight and I love the bass players sound. A great album with great musicians and production. It's just seven tracks with Blackstar and Lazarus released in November and December . Any others enjoyed, loved , hated etc?

Saw bad news in Cardiff ... Vim fuego .... Eating vim on stage ha !

Sorry my tinternet is playing up! I feel like the lad who says on TV .... I like turtles 😁

Peggy Lees. Fever, has always stood out for me !

Peggy lees " Fever " always stands out for me 😀

Would anyone know if 808 the movie is released on any streaming service? Cheers guys and gals! Merry Christmas !!

Amazing band saw them at the Kaya festival a few months ago. I loved this band from the start and of course the acid jazz period!
