Another laid back bluesy piece @Tokyo_Rat,
This is your signature sound, I could listen to this kinda music all day, great for highway cruzin 
Love the inclusion of the video.
Cheers Brian

Thanks Brian, someone came in to work and asked for a piece of equipment, as they left they said, “thanks, love ya man”. My reply, “yep but you ain’t lovin me for me”. The song pretty much wrote itself. I know there is something else out there I could do but I swear as soon as my hand touches the fretboard it is Root, IV…OMG I’ve knelt at the alter of Keith Richards…hail the master of the I-IV. I really should get out more…LOL

Closest I got to Keith Richards was IV.
Ohhh, bad joke.
Anyway
That is a super sweet, laidback tune that I could keep playing in the background all day long.
Like being in a smokey bar shooting pool.

LOL. That was my exact comment on the last vocal take I did. “Oh fack, that’s bad, sounds like karaoke.”

Well…I don’t sing well at all. Pretty bad really. So on very rare occasion have I sung, and even more rare that I show anyone something with me singing.
I will make an exception here…because I feel this is important to bass as an instrument. Keep in mind, I will probably do a more pro recording of this In a DAW. Think of this as a live, one man (with a Zoom B3n pedal) performance that is slightly improv.
Why is it important to bass? Well, stigma around the instrument. It is under represented. If the boy in the movie woos a girl with a love song he wrote, what does he play? Nine times out of 10 it’s a guitar, the other time it’s a piano. BUT THE BASS IS JUST AS GOOD FOR LOVE SONGS! My voice as an instrument isn’t, but the bass is. So now I’m stalling, working up the nerve…here it is. A love song entirely on bass (and a zoom b3n pedal)

Waiting for the “maybe keep the love songs on the guitar” comments!

That wasn’t bad at all for a love song, @kerushlow . . . 
Singing is hard . . . and singing and playing at the same time is even harder!
Good for you.
Cheers

Indeed, it is very hard! I don’t want to take credit for something I didn’t do though. The zoom pedal has a looper. I looped that main bass part that is playing through the song. I sing while NOT playing over that. Then I play the lead over it when NOT singing. That pedal is a great tool though, it is also playing the drums.

I absolutely require Melodyne for my vocals. No shame at all in it. Well done on getting some singing out there - it’s so much harder than bass, lol

It’s a weird one. There are people who with basically no training can just do it, and do it well. I can’t think of anyone outside of a few savants Who can just play an instrument.

Well in a way almost everyone has constant voice practice from a young age. But yeah - singing on pitch, some people can just go with it. The bastards!

I had to look that up, I didn’t even know what melodyne was…sounds awesome

Yeah there’s a bunch of things like it in the general cloud of pitch correction; I really like Melodyne, very easy to use, sounds natural and not auto-tuned.
