Tracy Wormworth, maybe best known for "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses:

Also she cropped up in Sting's late 80s touring band - some rare and out-of-sync footage here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x38lb5_sting-the-lazarus-heart_music - but now in the B52s...

Very nice, toneknob, thanks for posting.

I was vaguely thinking of suggesting Christmas Wrapping for our band to cover at the Xmas jam at our local pub. Largley because we have a female vocalist. I hadn't really listened to it properly though. Now I've listened to that tasty bass line, I don't think it's something I could manage! :blush:

We'll probably just have to do 'Santa Baby', like we did last year :lol:

It was transcribed in a seasonal edition of Bass Player magazine a couple of years ago. Let me know if you'd like a scan. It's a cool song to learn anyway!

This thread has been fantastic because it has brought Paz Lenchantin to my attention. Because of this I discovered The Entrance Band, a great rockin three piece who have been on heavy rotation every day for a couple of weeks now.
I doubt they are everyone's cup of tea but together they really have something special. Works for me anyway.

So cheers Basschat, thanks to you I've found my new favourite band :)

Sorry about this one, the sound quality isn't good but it demonstrates why I love them. Totally into it, balls out.
Kinda the band I always wanted to be in ;)
(Should really try being in a three piece one day. Played in a 6 piece for years so not too much room to wig out there)

Michelle Temple from Pere Ubu is an excellent solid, rocky sort of bassist[/size]

Oh that's kind of you. I love learning from proper transcriptions. I'll send you a PM. B)
