Master blaster

So i did my audition. I was early and accidently walked in to them with another bassist. Oops. Anyway to cut a long story short, i got in!!! Im dead chuffed. Ive got a few songs to learn now. Like Cee Lo Greens new song f*ck you and car wash by rose royce. Also theres a britney spears one :s. Ive also got to learn 'The way you make me feel' by mj, but listening to the recording i cant seem to single out what the basslines doing. Any ideas??

i got a pair of acs plugs. they are well worth the moneys. It feels weird when they put the gew in your ears when they get a mould.

Bonjour

Awesome. A bass like that would require one hell of an afro!

ive done Grease and Me and my Girl and i enjoyed playing in the band for both quite alot. But i really cannot stand watching and listening to the actual shows. I suppose i love the being the band part but not the whole finished product.

I have the DB115. Just a 15" speaker, no tweeters. Has a nice vintage like tone to it. Can be hard to hear sometimes so i put it onto of a beer crate or what ever is around. It really shifts some air to.

ok cool. awesome advice. I was planning for superstition to play similar to the synth on the recording by playing on the beat. I don't think i have ever learnt a song note for note so hopefully they wont be looking for someone that does learn songs 100%. Im really looking forward to it though, i haven't played with people for like 5 weeks so im dying to get the gig.

Over the last couple of weeks i posted a gumtree add saying that im looking for a band. I got quite a few replies, which were quite unexpected. I didnt think adverts on the net worked. Anyway i got a couple of replies for blues bands and a pop band but i also got a message from a pro drummer whos putting together a pro function band. Now im not sure what to do, i have to learn 3 songs, You've got the love by florence and the machine, Use Somebody by kings of leon and Superstition by stevie. Now these songs arnt really complex or anything but i dont know how i should play, should i try and impress with fancy fills and what not or should i just stick to the tracks and play simply and steady? Cheers James

Ok so i don't post on here to much but i spend a hell of a lot of time on here. Since ive joined ive learnt so much about the bass, different players and all sorts. I also think its made me into a better player. So i thought ide say thank you to everybody on here that makes this forum truly awesome. I salute your basschat!

thanks for all the nice comments . im guna have a go at Master Blaster tonight. as you can probably tell my my name i love that song! but yeh i really appreciate all the nice comments.

cheers mate.

Heres my first attempt at doing a youtube play along. I dont know if it played right and there are a few mistakes but heyho. Hope my playing doesnt put you of the song [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CSnnk7bhPs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CSnnk7bhPs[/url]

doesn't nathen watts play keyboard bass to? the guy that played bass on Michael Jackson This is It dvd played a keyboard bass to i do believe

in my experiance theyre great for a few weeks. but after having to spend ages setting up all the dials right got abit teedius for me. played nicely though, looked rather cool. Personnaly ide say its not a good alternative to the jazz as the jazz wins hands down tonnally. THe active preamp was ok, the 2 band eq was quite tricky for me to use.
