I don't actually like this song, or Muse especially*, but my bass tutor gave it me as a practice exercise. It's taken a while just to get a properly comfortable hand position, and the stretch from F to C and the little riff was quite hard and a good test.. Just about sorted now, except need to speed up. *Before the Muse mafia come round I will say that I have seen them live twice and they were fantastic on both occasions. Just a bit shouty listen to on record 🙂

I still like physical copies even if most of the time I rip them to mp3.

Just seen this topic.I won't join in, because I don't currently even own an amp and that is something I'll buy this year. But by coincidence I did say to the missus earlier today that I wasn't going to buy any more CDs until I have listed to the whole lot though again. That I suspect will take me through into 2021!

The school's still there, and thriving as far as I know.

Owner is ugly though, hence no pic 😉

We'll that's £17 I wasn't expecting to spend this lunchtime. 😀 Should keep me quiet for a while reading the words and for even longer figuring out how to play the dots.

I'm in Shirley as well. Other side of the Stratford Rd, not far from The Sharmans Cross pub.

Evening all, Having lurked around and read BassChat off and on since March I thought I ought to say hello properly. I'm another late-learner, I started to play in March last year, having vaguely wanted to since University days. Now I'm "north of forty", and intend to stay at that age indefinitely. A friend lent me his travel bass when I said I was interested in learning, and I got hooked very quickly: I picked up a used Brawley KB24 Artemis about two weeks later, much to the wife's surprise. I really like it, and players I respect tell me it's an excellent instrument. In other people's hands it does sound good, but I can still make a noise like a cat falling downstairs carrying a tray of spanners! I don't get to practice anywhere near enough, but am getting better. I'd like to be at the midlands bash, but just realised it's the bank holiday weekend. Will have to see if it's possible. Cheers, Rich
