Indeed! If I hear the Italian Concerto played by anyone else it just sounds Rong!!!

Sort of in between Jazz and Bach, like a Jach piece.

Here's a pic of me and my first bass playing one of the first Roco gigs... King's Head in Fulham, perhaps 1988?

I couldn't get past the boringly strummed jangly guitar, droney voice and worst of all, the violin bass. 😁

Good raucous start to the day for me...

Bit of early raprock from Holland... Saw them in 1990ish in Amsterdam with Primus, iirc!

Bootsy!

I'm a big fan of the Suicycos... Heavy and funky...

Kind of incongruous!

I've just made a video with my band.... We all shot some footage of ourselves miming along (or in the case of our guitarist, hanging the washing up with guitar round neck), and I did a multiple green screen overlay with footage of the Battle of Orgreave in the background. It came out quite well and helped keep us a little sane. (See it on the "Show us your playing videos thread or on Choked FB link below)

Video I've just finished for one of our band's recent songs using footage we all shot at home...

I think all basses are ridiculously over-complicated and pretentious. What's wrong with a good old tea chest, broom handle and bit of string?

Best place for it. 😁 (Though, controversy aside (🤣), I've never met a P bass I get on with, and have only every found 1 Jazz I liked, and that was stupidly expensive. Give me my bargain-basement Wal or ACG any day!!!!)

I voted ages ago... But as we're approaching the deadline and we've only had 9 voters perhaps I could get more interest from the locked-down throng by asking "should I use a Jazz or a P bass next time?"

I remember being on security when Kajagoogoo played Leeds Uni in 1983... Don't remember any bass playing at all as we were so busy dragging girls who'd fainted out of the crowd. As soon as they recovered they'd run back only to faint again...

How's about a foray into funky German jazz-rock fusion?

Little noodle I've been playing with...

We should have been supporting Headsticks in Nottingham! Then we were meant to play Hereford next Thursday and the Dementia Aware benefit at the Dolls House on Easter Sunday...

Fancied a bit of anger!

Another one gone...

Here's a proper bass groove, complete with widdly bits (gets widdlier from 2'10) and everything... I liked it so much I nicked the main 2 bits for our band!

D I S C O!
