Jackson 5 'I want you back' has always been my favourite line to play. That and 'Too young to die' by Jamiroquai make it into much every practice session,no matter what else I might be trying to learn, purely for the joy of playing them.

I'm not really a fan of current chart music, but everyone on that bill is absolutely nailing it. The backing band (bands?) are awesome, but the big surprise of the nights for me was Little Mix, I had no idea they could harmonise like that live.

Eat a garlic and anchovy vindaloo before going on stage. Nobody's going to want to spend long talking to you.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1496261123' post='3310076'] Over 24 hours and no new post from Andy....abducted by Aliens?? Secret Agent for the FBI?? All I know is his services are much in demand [/quote] I'm actually experiencing cold Turkey. This is the first thread I go to when I log on to basschat.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1496262895' post='3310089'] First if all there's no "the invisible bear" There are many invisible bears, there all over and I'm sure there's a few in London. Secondly you'd have to define the position of the hump, there are several. 1.The Vertical Candle Light. 2.The Reverse Incline 3.The Old Smokey 4.The Exxon Drill Expedition 5.The " Let's Go Fishing" 6.The Route 66 7.The Lower East Side Fandango 8. The "Saturday Night Fever" And last but not least; 9.The Bus Stop (don't ask) If your going to post a perspective, we need more detail. Blue [/quote] That made me grin.

Any excuse to post a bit of Billy.. http://youtu.be/cRdTrLQcqb4 http://youtu.be/18bVR0qhOKw

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1495990631' post='3307977'] ...plus, has this one been on here before? If so, my apologies http://youtu.be/wzAOQlbhUp0 [/quote] I hope he washed his hands thoroughly after messing about with that chilli.. There have been some rather unfortunately accidents resulting from a combination of chilli juice and casually scratching an itch.

SCROTUM! Like that, in block capitals. Eye catching, memorable, classy.

I'm not condoning it, but generally speaking it's easier for a guitarist to solo over a jam than it is to work out the chords on the fly, it's also a lot of over indulgent fun and easy to get carried away. Try giving him some actual songs to learn next time, you may find him taking a far more disciplined aproach.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1495295910' post='3302811'] Oh yes: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S8XfTcGEyo[/media] I love how it has the octave 'effect' built in. Tasty. [/quote] Awesome. But is it bass playing?😈

It's not exactly cast iron provenance. The guy may well be telling the truth about where the bass came from, but there's no bill of sale or any documentation linking the bass to Jamerson, no pictures either.

When you paste the link take the s off https, so the link should start with http. That generally does it.

[quote name='Stance' timestamp='1495150120' post='3301732'] First song from Cornell after Soundgarden (just before Euphoria Morning) Beautiful, just beautiful! [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWookEVtaIs"]http://www.youtube....h?v=XWookEVtaIs[/url] (I just forgot how to embeb videos....) [/quote] Beautiful song. http://youtu.be/XWookEVtaIs

For what it's worth this is my favourite Chris Cornel song. I used to busk this one in the subways of Plymouth. Ironically the album it came from was a tribute from various people on the grunge scene for a friend who died young. http://youtu.be/VUb450Alpps

Aye. Many happy returns, cheers to the mods and the guys that run and own the site. Thanks for providing such a great service.

Maybe try practising the part without the backing track until you get it down?

I'm a big fan of DR hi beams. There's no doubting the quality of their strings. Prices seem to vary a bit as well, if you look around sometimes you can get them a fair bit cheaper.

I'm not a mod, but you could stick it in here. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/223363-royal-blood/page__fromsearch__1

Congratulations. Step 1. learn Frampton's set. Step 2. lock Frampton's bass player in a cupboard just before he's due to go on Step 3. Wait for the panicked 'Is there a bass player in the house?' call to go out. Step 4. step straight into the big leagues. Best of luck.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1494456626' post='3296238'] One of my cats once came & stomped on my laptop keyboard & a picture of a man with a camel appeared. I have no idea where it came from. She also used to be completely obsessed with the Kraftwerk website. [/quote] I rest my case.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1494419846' post='3295795'] What was that? Sorry, I was just looking at some kittens. [/quote] Worth doing. The little furry bastards already control the internet. It's clear they're up to something. I often find my cat on the keyboard trying to look innocent. Check your history, I've found sites that I' ve never visited, usually about the evolution of opposable thumbs and the operation of heavy weaponry. It's comforting that someone else is keeping an eye on the fluffy anarchists.

[quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1494431150' post='3295936'] I think you'll find it's actually hugely offensive. [/quote] In my defense, I don't believe I've ever used the term myself,as someone who plays both guitar and bass I'm just not offended by it. But, having read some of the comments here, particularly by those who have personal reasons to dislike the term, I'm willing to reconsider my position. In the past I have worked (as part of a disability rights team who's job was to explain to people the new civil rights they received under the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act) with people with mental disabilities and I would never use the r word to describe any of them. Mainly because it's a piss poor catch all term which ignores the unique difficulties each individual faces.
