5 minutes alone - Pantera

I've got the two notes le bass preamp and it sounds incredible so unless Two Notes make an amp I'll stick with this setup.

I would like a simple setup but my Orange Terror amp sounds a bit rubbish so I use a separate preamp pedal to get a decent sound

Tick tick boom - Hives

Caffeine bomb - Wildhearts

Second hand news - Fleetwood Mac

Start Choppin - Dinosaur Jr

The End - The Doors Sorry for being so obvious

Bottles to the ground - NOFX

Potty mouth - Don Broco

Urban decay - Agnostic Front

50 million year trip - Kyuss What a killer tune

Killing time - Hed(pe)

Punching down the low end (below the belt)

Playing up near the neck, if you hit the strings hard then the strings hit the frets which adds to the attack. Add in some overdrive as well and it all gets clanky.

Scott's balalaika lessons?

S**t bass lessons For those who want to learn to play like Sid Vicious

No Steve Harris, Tim Commerford, Sean Ysealt, Rex Brown, Scott Reeder or Al Cisneros? Unacceptable.

There are a few bits on metal. When I had the subscription, it was one video with Dave Eleffson about how awesome Dave Eleffson is and one with Nolly about his picking technique. Slap in metal is a really rare thing and with good reason. Nothing at all on punk, not a single video. Something like Matt Freeman's bass lines with Rancid could be a great lesson in the use of arpeggios and fast walking bass lines. I didn't stick with the subscription long before I got bored and cancelled it.

I'm sure he's a lovely bloke but he just reminds me of the jazz club character from the fast show but without the hair or smoking. He can play some utter rubbish by some famous jazz bassist and it's like he's got tourettes with the random outbursts of nice, oh man that's great, tight, pocket or just a similar random word.

I'm currently getting Auto Autodesk CAD software and Yamaha motorcycles and occasionally viagra which I think may be due to looking at things popular with gentleman during mid life crisis (fast cars, fast bikes, bad back treatments, real ale and old rock music.

It's less effort to just not watch the beanie wearing, reliced p bass sporting, F# dorian 7 add 9 sus 3 noodling, low end holding down tool.

Jazz noodling is never better than anything. I'd rather hear Coldplay or even Nickelback.

The downside of his successful marketing is that if you watch one of his videos then for the next three months you cannot escape from his adverts. I now actively avoid anything to do with SBL because I don't want months of smug jazz noodling adverts from the beanie and glove enthusiast. I tried his lessons and found it really boring so gave up. I know jazz and soul contain all the fundamental skills and techniques but when you're a metal head or punk, it very quickly becomes a chore. It wasn't for me.
