Doc B Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 For the past few days I've been unable to get Joy Division's 'Digital' out of my head - hypnotic bass and vocals. I mentioned this to my wife and she suggested putting the song on when we got home - so I dug out my Joy Division Substance CD (the first CD I ever bought). Next thing I picked up my new Squier VM 70s Jazz and worked out the bassline, closely followed the line for Transmission. Lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_u_y_* Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Maneater by Nelly Furtado. "She's a maaaaaaan eeeeeeeeater, make you work more, make you spend more, make you want all of her love!" A favour for someone doing their final year performance at uni. Cool riff tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar South Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) Mm, a few months back now so hard to recall. Probably either Tom Sawyer (Rush) or Get On the Boat (Prince). Edited April 26, 2008 by Oscar South Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbass Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Doing an Acoustic Duo set with a guitarist friend in the summer, so learning (amongst others) Hey There Delilah and Yesterday, neither of which seem to have bass on the originals as far as I can tell!

Im very embarrased to say the 2 I learned where, When the Sun Goes Down and I Bet You Look Good on the dance Floor by the Arctic Monkeys. I also learned Club Foot by Kasabian.
