Hot Tub Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited September 23, 2008 by Hot Tub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedders came up with some excellent stuff. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDaddy Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her most recent musical conquest is the funky main guitar riff in Superstition...*sob* I'm so proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
