Keeping in spirit with Musicman I thought I’d learn a few chic tracks as I’ve always overlooked them. Some good fun to be had there, especially liked this one Really good Bassline, I’ve had a go at that one but I cheated and used this to pick it up 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunion Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I cheat too 😂🤣 I used this one slightly different fingering but I find it’s more compact and it has Tab I don’t read that well I’m still learning 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 A necro-thread that deserves re-invigoration! I've finally cracked this after three or four sessions. It felt like notes, rythym, tempo - pick any two! Guitarist sent me a link to Mark's video, suggesting I play the bodge at the beginning! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of our covers I have simplified a bit, though I do add in a fill or two in the songs with boring bass lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franticsmurf Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 A new setlist with a new band - about 35 Blues and rock covers including Riders on the Storm, Mojo Working, Need Your Love So Bad and Nutbush City Limits. I love working on new stuff. And with the other outfit, as we're heading towards the Xmas season, we're about to ditch half the set in favour of festive classics. Oh Joy.😃 Maybe I can persuade them to do 'Christmas Wrapping' and 'Ring Out Solstice Bells'. 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Barbarism Begins At Home - The Smiths. Tuned up to F#, it's a blooming stamina builder for sure! Haven't got it clean up to full speed yet but getting closer. My first serious go with using a pick properly too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Spent an enjoyable hour or so learning the Cures 'Just Like Heaven' on bass and guitar then building up the different tracks on a looper pedal. It's a pretty simple song with a structure that works particularly well when done on the looper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I was listening to random 70s stuff the other day out on my walk, and this came one - Gladys Night, Midnight train to Georgia, not the sort of thing I would normally spend much time on, but maybe it is just having earphones on but the bass really powered out of the track (as it does on this recording). So I thought I would try it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piers_Williamson Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 What a great vid. I think I have the 12" single of that somewhere. It has always sounded like a synth bass to me though. How do you get your sound? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyk Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Currently working on this Jazz Funk classic from 1983 again its synth bass, but i just like the tune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
