Thanks guys!
I have really been enjoying the Squier Contemporary Jazz, it’s easy to play and it sounds good and I really like the look.
The Cure was my first favorite band when I was a little kid. They are still in my top 5, but I can’t really pick a favorite anymore.
Not super happy with this, but all the time I have for weekend bass fun. My attempt at Rancid: Time Bomb.
I think its pretty decent, but I drop a couple of 16th notes at the end.
Finally found a web host to upload covers. No video, but hopefully the audio track will do!
Arctic Monkeys - Teddy Picker (love this band)

Also took a stab at one of my favorite songs
Jane Says - Jane’s Addiction
https://audio.jukehost.co.uk/ilrMiaOo4bFgVobdb7mztAib42T2DARU
Recorded this one earlier this morning. An easy one but a good one
Pixies - Where Is My Mind?

Hope the links all work and you guys enjoy the covers!
No problem, audio covers are perfectly fine 
nice covers by the way ! I also did one of Where Is My Mind a few times ago 
Nice! 
I split the audio for that one the other night to have a crack at too! 
It’s a really fun one to play! Going to try Flourescent Adolescent next
Yes! Can’t play it from memory, but I have it on rocksmith, that’s really fun too!
I just looked up rocksmith, it looks pretty cool! How do you like it? Seems like Guitar Hero but you actually play along? Can you upload tracks into it or do you have to use their pre-loaded library?
Basically yeah, animated tab pretty much
I love it! Probably wouldn’t be into playing half as much as I am if it wasn’t for that to get me started
On pc, there’s literally thousands of custom tracks online, just needs a simple little mod (there’s a tool that does it for ya, with tons of other options too), and one specific dlc song from the online store (custom tracks “borrow” the song idea with some kind of wizardry I don’t know 
).
Over 1000 songs in my collection currently, paid for maybe like 12 or somethin
One of my favorites and a common noodling riff for me. Well done!
Nice matching T-shirt too.
Seriously, you’re ready for a band.
You definitely are @Paul_9207
In fact there are a few stellar contributors that would fit the criteria
This was great @Paul_9207 ! Love it. Tone was badass. Like the klank!
Phew, this makes me tired just watching.
Overall astonishing! So a couple notes go missing, meh, was great otherwise.
Arctic - superb.
Jane - just a great song, and you blended in perfectly.
Mind - man you just nailed all of these.
Thanks buddy 
appreciate the feedback!
thanks. Two challenging things on this one: (1) That 2-5 stretch is really hard for me and I often land short of the fret wire in the middle on the fret; (2) I am finding that my preferred angle of holding the bass makes picking tough, as I am always striking across at an angle instead of perpendicular, which creates an unwanted scratching/ringing sound
I’ll bet you a beer if you were out playing somewhere no one, including you, would notice.
Playing at home in otherwise quiet, under your own microscope creates lofty expectations that are just not reality. I struggle with this a lot more on sax, but on bass too for sure.
That was great! really clean.
Tip top. I love everything about this.
Thanks for the encouragement guys!
I would love to be in a band. I live in a small town, about 1300 people, and the surrounding towns are a little bigger and a little smaller. It’s been hard to find people.
I was talking to my buddy the other day, he just starting jamming with a band up where he lives. He is 39 and they are in their 70’s. It seems like the prime time to find bandmates is in high school/college, before work and families start, or after you retire.
I’m going to keep looking. There is a dance hall in my little town that was built in 1927 and I would really like to play there. It’s the perfect weekend activity for a small town. Live music and a taco truck is what I’m hoping for.
