8 is too many. If you have 7, you have one for each day of the week.

Yet another great cover @JerryP ! You really should consider an affiliate deal with Hofner - ā€œUse the code JerryP for a 10% discountā€ lol. I’m going to have to get round to some Beatles songs sometime but the covers keep being taken off YouTube

Thanks @Ed ! I sent an email to Hofner on that idea of yours, awaiting their response. :rofl:

Thanks @John_E - I’ve played that song a lot since it was always on a set list so just a matter of recording it…

Thanks @stevesilver925

Thanks @JerryP

Used the SR500E on this one @howard - video lighting sucked since this was a wham-bam sorta recording… I do use the 304 for many songs that I’m learning since it’s such an easy bass to play, and sounds great… Just don’t use it much for recording or playing live because it’s an active only bass. At least the SR500E is both active/passive… Actually, I play that one without a battery installed…

Great cover @stevesilver925 - You nailed it!! Really don’t think you ā€œappearā€ uncomfortable on camera… However, if we were ever end up in a dark alley somewhere, I’d certainly want you on my side!! :slightly_smiling_face: :upside_down_face:

Thank you @Barney

Damn, you should definitely check out the whole album. It’s fantastic! Also, Lust For Life (1977) for some truly iconic songs. Produced by David Bowie and I think he wrote and co-wrote a fair amount of the music on the album too.

Hahaha, I know what you mean. I’m so focused on getting everything right, the smile at the end is the catharsis of staying on time and playing the right notes. Still working on just relaxing and playing :laughing:

Thank you @Lanny! I’m just super-focused :upside_down_face: :sweat_smile:

Bad idea, I would fold faster than a piece of paper. I’m a lover, not a fighter :sweat_smile:

Can’t think of this song without thinking about Ewan McGregor running down the street…

That hit so hard in the 90’s. Such a great song and perfect for Trainspotting!

Saw it in Scotland in the cinema when it opened. One of the best openings to a movie ever ā€œChoose lifeā€¦ā€¦ā€

Side note: My best friend from the military still calls me Begbie after an incident I started that was 30 years ago. Let it go!

Khrurangbin & Leon Bridges - Mariella
The second song recorded yesterday. A couple of minor timing errors and some mistakes that I’ll probably be the only one to notice. Unfortunately, I’ll never look as good as Laura Lee or be able to sing and (sort of) dance while playing bass. Probably for the best :man_shrugging:

Hahaha 100%.

It is a great album though, some iconic songs there. Siouxsie does an amazing cover of The Passenger that IMO is better than the original:

(I absolutely love Budgie in that video. Severin and Siouxsie going enigmatic and dark, Carruthers didn’t even show up, but Budgie is like ā€œnope, I’m going with my fabulous maximum smiling '80s colorful glam, thank you very much! Here, have some pastel paint.ā€)

That whole soundtrack… perfect

Getting back to you on this, bass actually has perfect intonation. I actually have no idea what happened :smiley:

I might try to retake this with different sims.
