Thanks so much for your lovely comments everyone :blush: it’s a bit nerve wracking sharing for the first time!

Now to see if I can work my way up to some of the faster and trickier songs I like.

(@Paul_9207 For the video I’d already played around a bit with Capcut so used that, I found it very user friendly to get started with.)

A bit more Roll ‘n’ Roll for ya! This time, Let’s Have A Party, recorded by Wanda Jackson in 1958 and released as a single in 1960.

Once again, a variation on the classic 12-bar progression. I promise the next one will be something different… :wink:

Wanda Jackson - Let’s Have A Party

This time, playing my Dingwall with an improvised foam mute under the strings at the bridge, into the Ampero One, then in into GarageBand.

Good one @JerryP Such an earworm. A while back it was playing at my restaurant and my kids were singing “Sherry” for a few days in the car, :joy:

I find it interesting, @Al1885, that you take a pretty modern bass and, with a bit of tweaking, get a vintage tone. I did the same thing with my Ibanez last weekend and was pretty surprised by the results!

Hell, yes, @saroohoo! It’s so much fun, especially a song with such silly lyrics!

How can you not have fun! :rofl:

A bit rough (always start messing up when I record myself) but here is a cover of Respect, by Aretha Franklin! I’m playing this one at my next School of Rock show. The theme is Punk vs Funk!

Here’s one more cover! Some mistakes for sure. My hands are killing me after rehearsal last night! This is “Por Eternidad” by a local band, The Crystal Tears. My friend from grad school is the bassist! They’re going for a gothic latin soul style. I figured this out by ear.

Oh no that was actually a really nice cover :slight_smile: . Good choice on the Ibanez - I would have gone for the Hofner for the vintage sound but I always underestimate modern basses :slight_smile:

What’s the box thing sticking out of the jack? I think there are two leads coming out of it…

Looks like a Katana: Go headphone amp, with headphones and usb cord plugged in.
