Gust0o Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Recent favourite, this one - Kasabian "Fire". Fun with an awesome grove you can really lock into. Plenty of space for doing your own thing with it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathpanda Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Most of the songs I love to play are my own ones. I don't mean that in a big headed way at all. If I spend lots of time writing a challenging bassline, I can generally play it better than I could another person's "challenging" bassline. Just feels good to play something that you've written, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Songs that I'm currently enjoying playing in gigs include..... Luther Vandross 'Never Too Much' Stevie Wonder 'I Wish' Duran Duran 'Rio' Charlie Parker 'Scrapple from the Apple' Miles Davis 'So What' There are actually very few songs that I don't enjoy playing on gigs. My favourite things to play when I'm at home are usually tunes by people like Marcus,Stanley,Janek,Cobham etc....Although lately I'm really enjoying playing all the old Primus stuff again.
