I'm not especially judgmental, but I hate him just from looking at that photograph.
I suppose this is the point where someone points out that the person in the photo is either someone famous, or is an esteemed member of the forum, thus making me look like a right tube.

Ok for that I won’t nominate “need your love so bad” as even a truck couldn’t drive that along!

There are several songs here I hate playing but it is about simple lines.
Although it does look like people have a difficultly knowing the difference between 'simple lines' and 'lines I fine easy to play'
I don't think it fits the criteria as I would fall asleep during it, thus brining the song to a halt, rather than driving it along.

Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
no no no no not Zombie. When I started playing bass, many moons ago, we covered zombie and I hated playing it.

I only have one bass. It's kept in it's case in the bedroom. I don't have a lot of kit lying around but do often find myself playing air bass.

Fame is overrated. Would you really want to be recognised when you're in Boots buying your Anusol Plus?
I buy it in my local chemist so that scenario would never play out.

Trainspotting:
Sick Boy: It's certainly a phenomenon in all walks of life.
Mark: What do you mean?
Sick Boy: Well, at one time, you've got it, and then you lose it, and it's gone forever. All walks of life: George Best, for example. Had it, lost it. Or David Bowie, or Lou Reed.
Mark: Lou Reed, some of his solo stuff's not bad.
Sick Boy: No, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it sounds all right, it's actually just shite.- 2

I played the lead role in the school musical when I was in sixth form and got recognised by a couple of kids whilst walking down the street a few days later. Sadly fame never really beckoned after that.

We still won't know which Bass is best for Metal.
The new Ibanez triplecut SGXLPM39000XRT+ will have a neck so thin you need an electron microscope to find it, but will come in 42 luxury finishes.
If it's good enough for Tom Araya's hologram, it's good enough for me...

Is that the yellow and purple one that's really noisy?

The very one. It has to go and get repaired every six months apparently.

It's notoriously crap for its transport links. You'll have to either get a bus or taxi. I'd say get the bus if you don't have a lot of luggage as a taxi will probably be about £30. Bairds will probably be best for instrument hire. There's a Dawson's and Matchett's. I think the latter only does orchestral instrument hire.
If you need any more information give me a shout.

Which airport are you flying into and where are you staying?

Support your local music shop (by buying five quids of plectrums every couple of years) 😆

Does anyone else feel embarrassed going into a music shop just to buy some picks? You just know they guy behind the counter wants to say "Aye, thanks mate. That £2.50 you've just spent will go a long way to paying our bills this month"

Not sure if it'll be the next band I see, but I have booked tickets for Pixies in September. Excited!

Never knew such a thing existed.
Can any point me to a transcription of Rhythm Stick (dots not tab)?
in Theory and Technique

I remember Bassist magazine did a transcription many moons ago. I nearly tied my fingers in knots trying to play it.
