Baggy Trousers

[Hot Tub]

Well, that's a rather fun little ditty to play!


(Just wanted to share that, 'cause I'm really chuffed at being able to play it! )

As you were.

Well done- that's a tricky old line to play - Growing up in the eighties, that was one of my favourite tunes and bass lines. Bedders came up with some excellent stuff.

Now try Rancid with Time Bomb, I loved that one as much as Baggy Trousers

Great post - made me just go on youtube and start learning it myself

Now try House of Fun - one of the bonkersest pop basslines ever.

He-he-he... next on my list!

Great minds, eh?

Seriously underated band Madness. Quality stuff, and great musicians. One of the Sunday papers gave away a live CD of Madstock over 2 weeks last year. I have both

Funnily enough House of Fun was my favourite song when I was a kid, long before I started playing bass. Other favourites at the time were Bad Manners - Walking in the Sunshine, Specials' Too Much Too Young, and of course Hit Me.

I fell into playing bass quite by accident but it turned out I'd always preferred songs with ace bass parts.

My other half is excatley the same, when i first met her she was a bit ashamed to admit that she never listened to the Bassline..... now she knows it's there & she listens to all her fave tracks all have strong Basslines.

She loves Bass now.
I'm trying to convince her to learn a instrument at the moment.

I was exactly the same, living in ignorance, but between them, Tinman and the good folks of Basschat have heducated me

Cool. I learnt it a few weeks ago and we have just started playing it as well.
Great bass line.

Mrs PTB was the same, now she's seen the light

I've also started teachin her some bits, and she's got a natural groove that's pretty awesome! Her most recent musical conquest is the funky main guitar riff in Superstition...*sob* I'm so proud!
