I have trouble with this as I play infrequently and have little practice time Listen to it until you're sick of it then split it into sections so it doesn't seem such a huge task is my advice

Yes a sad loss musically , I used to think she was hot too

Put them in the metal bin at your local tip ? It's what i do

Suggest "ain't no stopping us now" as recognisable to the average joe

Is that a big enough subject to fill a book ?

Having given a good show at the church OM night with a scratch duo playing a song I've heard twice - I'm intending to go back and smash it again with huge slabs of Precision bass goodness

i've got a zoom b2.1u which is amazing. Cheap as chips on ebay

I got a nice b2a hohner with drop d courtesy (thanks @vmaxblues for the expedited shipping) Chose this myself as did I the small belt clip amp - has sad card, MP3 input and a small speaker for corridor practice on open mic nights

Nice Always wanted one but can't justify another bass

Depend on their age

I stored a tokai Strat in mine for years in a bin bag and it was absolutely fine

Thanks @blue (you're up late, mister)

[/quote] It didn't and wasn't intended to, my partner and female kids might object Just nice to get positive comments about tone (that you all get) when hearing my p bass really loud for first time (they heard it, I couldn't as in my naïveté I was right under the pa speaker)

Yes - great bass player but it's all a bit twee for my liking

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1450082111' post='2929302'] It's called Silly Love Songs and was written in response to others complaining he only wrote silly love songs. So, the irony was McCartney's own. [/quote] Ok fair enough - I didn't think he did irony but clearly I'm mistaken

heard the song containing words "[i]some people want to fill the world with silly love songs[/i]"** (ironic, given that he is a major culprit) and was very impressed by the bassline ** i have no idea what its actually called

body too large, but thanks anyway

With hindsight his work comes across as classic rather than dated, but I guess there was a time when it didn't seem that way to everyone. [/quote] That's what the book says
