Eight Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I searched but am not sure if we've done this before. I realised this morning that I've been taking my bass practice way too seriously of late. So what suggestions have you got for basslines/songs that are just pure unadultered fun to play along with. Doesn't need to be tricky or even interesting, just good ol' fashioned ear-to-ear grinning hillarity. Quote

Old kids TV themes are awesome. Could I also add the ending theme to the Raccoons? Quote

Used to do it years ago as a little jokey solo/intro & thinking about reviving it for a gig tomorrow. +1 to Grange Hill - or Chicken Man, to give it it's proper title. Great fun bass part & near-obligatory when it was current! Jon. Quote
