Mottlefeeder Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I've just started converting '60s & '70s vinyl 'Greatest hits of...' to CD to MP3 so I can learn the bass lines for a pub jam session - early Stones, Who etc. Should have done it years ago - stuff I enjoyed listening to, but never learned to play.

BassTractor Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) All this talk of Robert Palmer and Mel Collins (in the King Crimson 8 thread) got me thinking back First: Alan Bown: [media]http://youtu.be/jJutfDZxgGE[/media] Then: Elkie Brooks and Vinegar Joe: http://youtu.be/3G51tmiwMlk Edited September 29, 2013 by BassTractor Quote
jazzyvee Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Touch of Grey by the Grateful Dead. They are not a band I've ever spent any time listening to before so it's a time of discovery for me. Jazzyvee Quote
bartelby Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Nirvana - In Utero (20th Anniversay Super Deluxe) The 2013 mixes and the live tracks are bloody good. Quote

johnDeereJack Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 My colleague crunching on carbonised cold toast (?!) which is absolutely caked in some kind of spreading cheese, soon to be drowned out with the marvellous album 'Black Sabbath' Quote

snotsnail Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Only just got a copy of the first album by Polica, Give You The Ghost recently, and had a cheeky listen to new album Shulamith. Gorgeous production and innovative use of percussive timings. Bass player Chris Bierden is very central to the overall mix too which may sway some interest, and no six string slingers anywhere in sight!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4EWfdEyoLs Edited March 24, 2014 by icastle Link fixed.
