Faithless Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Oh, and my first bassline was by Skamp - Music (We love), the one I'm doing for audition... Seems pretty easy one, but the main groove, that goes during verses and choruses is quite tricky, believe me... Here's band's-made 10 year anniversary video with this song..

S.P.[/quote] that was the last bass line i learnt of 2008, easy enough and the guy just gets a real tight sound, lovely. and he's ace to watch live, big smiley beard boy. Mate of mine said it wouldnt sound right coz i play finger style. Bollox. sounds just fine if you dont get lost in the playing it over and over again for 8 mins! good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ednaplate Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 [quote name='Linus27' post='368187' date='Jan 2 2009, 01:05 AM']Here you go. This is the last one I learn't to play. Sorry I don't smile much in the video but there is a story behind that. For the last 20 years I have only ever played with a plectrum. I gave up bass for around 5 years and when I started up again at the end of 2007, I decided to learn to use my fingers so this is my first ever complete song I have played using fingers. So basically I am concentrating lots. Oh, plus I am playing on a fretless which is also my first song on a fretless. If you want any tips on the song then just ask.

It's very good. I have a tab for this somewhere. Must dig it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Well, apart from doing some exercises, I suppose it's my usual "finger loosener" - Rat Race by The Specials. First bass picked up in 2009 is - the cherry red EB-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starvolt Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Dead Star by Muse, the timing is a bit awkward for me, but I've pretty much got it. Oh, and if your Sex is on fire, then the chances are you have got herpies or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 First thing I played was one of my own basslines thru the MuRF. As was the 2nd, 3rd & 4th. First known bassline I played this year was Use Me by Bill Withers thru the MuRF as it's the only song we cover regularly. Sounded interesting.

I'll have to try What Is Hip? sometime - great 'excercise' for articulation, no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
