Check out this performance from [i]The Young Ones[/i] TV show. The bassist is playing an Alembic, those first couple of notes in the first few seconds demonstrate the "Alembic sound" perfectly!

Had a bit of an oceansize listening fest and finally got unfamiliar and sleeping dogs down pat. Both absolutely awesome basslines, and a masterclass in playing in odd time sigs but still keeping it groovy (which the whole band is a masterclass in to be honest):





Since I assume 95% of you will have had no idea what songs or band I was referring too.

Both displaying the heavier side of the band, but heavy as it should be done, interesting and complex as hell. I urge you all to listen, there's a lot worse things you could do with 14 minutes.

The Marcus Miller Version of What is Hip? from his Free Album.
Here is my clip on you tube. The video clip was recorded on a mobile phone so quality isn't that great.

The opening 'jazzy' bass line to Boogie Nights by Heatwave. Nice little warm up exercise methinks. Here's the tab [url="http://www.911tabs.com/link/?4728545"]http://www.911tabs.com/link/?4728545[/url]

Great outfits! And nice Orange rigs (bass nerd time)

the last bassline i learned (well i learned these both on the same day) was golden boy by primus and the intro to mr pink by level 42, the only reason I even attempted mr pink was genuinly to see if i could do it (i've only been playing 6 months so i thought it would be funny) but it turns out that I can play it lol.

Coincidentally, as the REM thread is one thread away as I type this, REM's "Sidewinder sleeps tonite". Nothing that's hard to play but I seem to be having a bit of a mental crash of gears going from the end of the verse into the chorus - nothing that a bit more playing along won't sort out.

Paul Mcartneys something which I think is a little busy, but fun to play.
I rephrase that Harrisons Tune, PMC lines

My best friend has written a Banjo tutor with accompanying CD of old Irish tunes which have all funny timings. Ive been working on those for weeks to record as backing tracks for the CD. They are simple but a real sod to do
