You can’t get arrested for having a violin on the bus.

@david.addis that is a good answer, and @Ed that is definitely a funny answer. But the true difference betwen a violin and a fiddle is that a violin has strings and a fiddle has strangs.

Thanks Travis! I do enjoy making the videos :sunglasses:

Thanks, @JohnF! We had decided that we needed a city break… Birmingham is not a particularly obvious choice, but visiting by canal and mooring up right in the city centre was pretty cool!

Yep, its a cool line, isn’t it, @beaurapp! Must have been great to see her live!

It’s a cool line, @BumbleJazz!

The Cure - Lullaby

I posted an acoustic version of this song a couple of weeks ago. Today, I am fulfilling a request and posting the studio version.

Bass line and video shot in a crappy AirB&B in Stratford upon Avon (home of Shakespeare).

Steinberger XT-2 bass into the Hotone Ampero, then on into GarageBand.

In reality, two to many… :rofl: I have one listed for sale, an Area Pro II that I really shouldn’t have bought in the first place, and had the Steinberger listed, but I’ve now decided I’m keeping it.

The Cliff Burton fan in me wants to know more.

The realist in me knows I wouldn’t actually buy it.

Blondie (The Damned) - New Rose

I’m posting this cover to commemorate Clem Burke, Blondie’s drummer, who died earlier this week. Yes, it’s not a Blondie song, but the drumming is fantastically frenetic!

New Rose was the first punk single released in the U.K. the song was written and performed by The Damned, but this version is a live Blondie cover.

The video was shot by my daughter.

Really well played! Nice tone. I’ve never heard that song before…it’s got a cool bass line. Your technique is excellent…how long have you been playing bass?

Great camera work, great setting and, most importantly, great playing! Well done, Duncan!
