@Ant Thanks for sharing these guys. Very similar vibe to Winnetka Bowling League:
I think this mix is fantastic!
I didn’t know the original, so watched the video, glad I did
I think your bass sounds even better than the original mix, or just as good.
I really like this one.
Thanks buddy! Very rapture-esque imagery in the video. Just starting on another one of their songs, and it looks like I may have found accurate tabs for once!
Definitely have a similar vibe. What a bizarre video for that one! Loved it. Never heard of this band before, I’ll do some exploring. Thanks for sharing!
I’m so late! But thank you for listening and for the compliments, @JerryP @Growl @John_E @Al1885 @cheeze_pizza
Well, here I am again, my first cover in a little over a year. Most of you know the reason why.
Stray Cat Strut, by the Stray Cats; bass originally performed by the amazing Lee Rocker on the upright.
I played it on the Yamaha SLB300 with no effects other than a little compression added in post production.
132 bpm
C minor
I also posted my transcript in the Transcript Depot thread.
Here it is Stray Cat Strut
Fantastic and what a great comeback!!
Ans what a way to spark GAS in me with that bass!
Well done, Pam. Well done indeed. Great song, great cover.
great to see you back, @PamPurrs ! I haven’t heard this song since a few years, it’s always a joy, I love Brian Setzer’s guitar playing.
Also you played this double bass very well, the lack of frets doesn’t seem to be a problem for you. And also the SLB300 sounds really really good.
Thanks @terb . Yes, it takes many hours of practice to train the muscle memory on a bass without frets or markers.
Great cover Pam! Loved your video pretty sweet bass as well!
Finished up this one earlier this afternoon. Actually a lot trickier to play than it sounds, had a lot of timing issues that kept making me quite frustrated, since it’s pretty simple note-wise. Keeping with the same band, here’s my take on
Cannons - Come Alive

Thanks buddy! It’s so much fun to learn new songs, I am hooked!
Been trying to play this song for an extremely long time, it’s given me many a headache…I just recorded this and am feeling like I want to move on from this one. Not super happy with the take, there’s a few mistakes in there and I wish it blended a little better, but it’s good enough for now! I will revisit this one at a later date and hopefully get that perfect take that I so desperately want.
XTC - Generals and Majors
