ratman Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I've had a bunch of new songs to learn for a gig this Saturday, but the one that really stands out is House Of Fun, Madness. It's a really well crafted song, and the bass part is a peach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stubass Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Omg, just been enlightened to the arthritic delights of shake a tail feather. Been requested for a wedding we're doing in just over a month. I'll need all my time for it me thinks. Still undecided if I start the first bar on the a string or up at the 10th on e. It's like deciding on which nipple you want twisted.

thisnameistaken Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 He needs to raise the action on his bass a bit though eh. Sounds bloody awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raslee Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Been digging the James Brown grooves today, sex machine, Payback etc. Finally can justify the Detuner on my jazz for Too funky in here - funkerb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Tonight's gig was cancelled as the venue double booked, doubt we'll go back as apparently they got a bit arsey with the singer when he called about it. So instead, I've been trying to learn The Grudge by Tool, not an easy one. I think, though I'm not sure a delay pedal would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a tinker to say the least! I keep reverting back to The Pot. So much fun to play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottle Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm trying out Lonely Boy by The Black Keys by playing up the neck past the 12th fret and chucking on loads of OD on my dirty channel. Just need a delay pedal for the slapback echo and a Boss Harmonist pedal for the opening octave-down divebomb and I'll be sorted ;-) the glissando down from E (12th fret to open E) is a bit of a pig, otherwise sounds OK. Next on my list is Rock Your Body by Justin Timberlake, as I think that gets really funky :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgie Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Gee that guy playing Costello is pretty good. I hope I can get to 50% of that level. More % would be better but I'm being realistic here:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stubass Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Right guys, I want some honest feedback. This is the first mix of our demo (we're a function band wanting to cash in on the lucrative wedding game) we've managed to wing a wedding gig in two weeks due to a friend of a friend being in dire straits. I've rained my playing for this but kinda wish I hadn't but then again, it's about the whole thing, not me wanting to be jaco lol. Anyway, everything recorded with my SB-2 di'd through my lh500 with an ibanez pd7 on runaway baby. Let me know what you think, can we cut it? http://yourlisten.com/stubass/#uploads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
