I got some abuse for trying a similar thread because I used a more jokey title like cr*p songs you actually enjoy playing. It seems no matter how patently uncool and dreadful something is, someone somewhere will defend it.

Don't know the song at all but man I love the bass line. Very engaging chap as well. We can learn so much from these people.

God that's tedious isn't it? Guitarists noodling away. Where is the godamm bass? No more government subsidies for guitar effects

Can't stop listening to that Gary Clark Jr track. Just awesome.

Yep Down Down and Caroline on my list always glad of more

Great story, thanks for sharing.

Good to see you Sven. Wilkommen.

exactly what I'm after, driving bluesy footstomping stuff

So beautifully done. You have a close up?

Just talking about how lovely white / tort / rosewood is on a bass. Mine is more white white. I love this aged creamy white though. Beautiful bass thanks for sharing.

I filled some of my day gazing at mine. Its a striking combination.

Thanks guys

Fancy a bit of a boogie today. Thinking AC/DC (Bon Scot Era ) ZZ Top (pre pop era) that kind of thing. Suggestions of fun stuff to play along with?

I live with my elderly mother who takes one walk a day. This is the time I can plug in my amp. Silent practice otherwise. A music room I could store my gear in and play at reasonable rehearsal volume whenever I want is the stuff of dreams for me.

you win!

Similar situation here. Jammed with some guys online had video chats with one of my bands, but nothing scratches that itch

It's learned. I don't think I was ever in a band that wrote songs with a Gb or a Db in the chord structure. However F#m cropped up all the time and Bb and Eb often came up too. A, D, G all the time. Heck, I only just discover B# and Cb aren't made up!

Nope. I'm the same.

Very kind.

Just watched Hang In Long Enough. Now that I really enjoyed. The whole thing not just the bass. To see that LS reacts in exactly the same way as I do toa mistake was heart warming and hilarious. Please keep them coming.

My pleasure. I am getting there, I can now recite the circle backwards (anti clockwise) without having to picture a bass and work out what comes next! The great thing about the exercise is it shows me clearly the area of the fretboard and the chords I don't know well. Probably predictably it's DB Ab and Gb. Weirdly I have less of a problem with C#, G# and F# 🤔

OK, well, that is a record for me. Three Phil Collins tracks in one day. Three more than I have listened to in the last decade! But oh what a treat. I Missed Again was a bit sloppy apparently. Ha ha ha - oh to be so sloppy. Wonderful wonderful bass line.
