    This is one of my favourites to play - http://youtu.be/5ixRWvrkUHo I'm a sucker for a good disco bassline, I absolutely love this, it takes a bit to kick in. http://youtu.be/de4_vbntd50

    I started a thread on this very topic a while back, it got some very interesting replies! You are right Blue, the bands I have quit I shouldn't have bothered with in the first place.

    I really want this. Played a 424x at the weekend and it rocked. I'm sure it won't be around long at this price. Shame it's 3 weeks to payday!

    [quote name='TimR' timestamp='1492074364' post='3277636'] The videos are a lot more polished now and I find them easy to watch. In one of his videos he talks about talent and shows some of his original video clips. Which are basically a web cam in his bedroom. Really, there are thousands of bedroom cam players and if you're going to get your video noticed above them you have to step out of the bedroom and engage your audience. We consume with our eyes and the presentation of the video is key. There's a balancw to be struck somewhere between a dodgy web cam bedroom player uming and ahing through a video, and someone talking a full camera unit to their Yoga session. [/quote] I wasn't having a go at him. I just preferred the old style. Times change and even Scott himself has redone an old video. I owe him a huge debt of gratitude for digging me out of a slump. West Yorkshire boy too so bonus points!

    There are a few songs that I consider to be absolute perfection. This one is top of the list. I'm not a huge Fleetwood Mac fan but I think that this is an absolute masterclass in songwriting and performance. I've ripped the bass line in the chorus off so many times! 2nd in my list is Be My Baby by The Ronettes. http://youtu.be/6ul-cZyuYq4 Do you have a perfect song?

    Scott Devine got me playing bass again after losing my enthusiasm for a good number of years. I preferred the old videos where he got straight to the point. I've no interest in seeing him in an apartment in New York or walking around.

    I've always preferred playing as a 3 piece or with only one guitarist. It sounds bigger when done right. For me it made me listen more, I realised how much responsibility I had to hold it together as the link between the melody and the rhythm. As time goes on I play less fills.

    [size=4][font=arial, sans-serif]Hello all[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]Ideally I would like to trade this for a MIM Fender Jazz Bass, one of the newer models if possible. [/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]Excellent condition and a nice back friendly 8lbs in weight. The neck is great and the only flaws are a couple of small dents on the chamfer and slight scuffs on the bottom edge of the body - I have tried to photograph these. This is a fine example of the great basses produced in Mexico by Fender in recent years. I am selling because I have finally realised prefer Jazz basses in all honesty, my hands are more suited to the narrow necks. At least until Precisionitis strikes... [/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]£360 collected or I could meet within reasonable distance. I am in Wakefield, West Yorkshire close to J38-40 of the M1 and J25 of the M62.[/font][/size] [size=4][attachment=240167:DSC_0430.JPG][/size] [attachment=240168:DSC_0424.JPG] [attachment=240177:DSC_0426.JPG] [attachment=240178:DSC_0427.JPG]

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1488639820' post='3250694'] why is this still here looking at me with those tempting eyes? someone please take it away!!! [/quote] It's waiting for you! 😉

    It's My Life by Talk Talk. One of my all time favourite basslines.

    Bump

    I expect to be paid the same. I'm doing a dep gig next week and have put a lot of work in to learning the songs so the gig goes well.

    Another Peavey fan here. I've never played a bad one, or a light one. My mate had a JHS guitar combo, that was awful.

    I've had a couple of VM jazz basses and they were exceptional. Currently I have a Squier Deluxe Dimension V that is one of the best basses I've played, one too many strings though it seems for me! I had a Squier Telecaster in the 90's that was amazing too.

    Back up for sale bump!

    [quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1488023324' post='3245093'] The first thing to watch is that most transcriptions of it are wrong. The version that was in Bassist magazine, for example, has so many errors it's almost worse than having nothing. It's a lot easier if your hands are in the right place... [/quote] The MarloweDK cover on YouTube sounds right to me. I used that to help me nail it.

    I am a Fender fan but this is one price hike too far in my opinion. I played the new Jazz in Dawsons in Huddersfield. It was good, but not £1500 good. With so many excellent second hand Jazz deals around I don't ever see myself buying a new Fender again.

    Dead Goon by Mr Bungle. That main line in the verses has been my nemesis bassline for nearly 25 years now. I can do it, but as soon as I step away from it for a while then it's gone. It was done on a fretless too, that would take me another 25 years to master.

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1487768210' post='3242593'] I'm not offended but it shows how much with work there is still to do it educating people about mental health issues. [/quote] I couldn't agree more.

    Carlos D. I just love his basslines. There are better bassists obviously, but I just love what he added to Interpol.

    [quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1487099564' post='3237128'] Husker Du or sugar, but would be happy with Therapy? As well. [/quote] Yes!! Husker Du especially.

    Subcircus. We supported them in the 90's and I was speechless watching their set. Their album Carousel is one of my all time favourites.
