How do you get on with "Babylon's burning" by The Ruts?

Wicked bassline but a killer at speed. After all these years and I still haven't got it - maybe I should try it with a pick.

I'm faster when playing finger style. Is this fast enough for you? 😁

American Psycho - Misfits

Bird of Prey - Uriah Heep

In the 70's and early 80's I used to be a metalhead, period. In the second half of the 80's I added Punk Rock to my preferences. I still very much appreciate both genres, but Blues (Rock) also floats my boat.

In 2010 I started playing bass, which made me (somewhat) appreciate even more genres.

I was reading about the Beatles "She's Leaving Home", yesterday. Apparently it was sped up slightly for the stereo version to make Paul sound younger.

Sad 

I don't think songs are sped up. I'm mostly playing punk rock songs, finger style as well as picking. This requires very fast playing. During live shows songs are often played even faster than on the CD. It's just a matter of getting used to it.

Some Kind of Hate - Misfits

I want to inspect and play any instrument before buying, period. When I bought my G&L bass, I had them take four basses from stock, some with basswood, some with swamp ash body. I then compared feel, balance and tone, using my trusted pedal and headphones.

When playing finger style, my thumb is planted between the strings lower than the one strummed. When picking, the thumb of the fretting hand often assists in muting the lowest string.
