Little White Bull - Tommy Steele

My 10 year old daughter has no interest in playing bass. She knows who Davie504 is. He's doing something right.

Gently Johnny - Paul Giovanni

Breakfast in Mayfair - Fairport Convention

I wish I'd bought one of these when I had the chance!

Maid in Heaven - Be Bop Deluxe

Bad Ground - Type O Negative

New Moon Rising - Wolfmother

Nightmare/The Dreamtime - Motorhead

The Butterfly Ball - Roger Glover

Absolutely stunning. Leave the gold, I say!

La La Lies - the 'oo

The Spark is an amazing pedal. I bought one in a sale a couple of years ago, never tried it and forgot all about it. When I finally gave it a go - blimey! There's some real juju in it, one of those rare "makes everything sound better" pedals.

Pineapple - Sparks

Apples and Oranges - The Pink Floyd

I always used 50-110 in my drop C days. Plenty of rattle but I liked that - I was playing COC/Down-esque metal so that extra growl and flexibility was great when improvising under the guitar solos I'll admit, I only went for that gauge as they were heavier than normal. I didn't realise you could get heavier sets back then, but I was perfectly happy with them.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Genesis

Eat It Up Worms Hero - Cardiacs

Dandy - The Kinks

I Can See For Miles - The 'oo

What?!

Just like Eddie - Heinz

Colin Hodgkinson, one of the most astoundingly original and unique voices of the bass, spent a time playing with Whitesnake. Always looked like he was having a hell of a good time doing it though!

Venus In Fear - Cradle of Filth

S&M - Thin Lizzy
