Thank you, @John_E - I am almost 100% certain you are humming (externally or internally) lots of bass lines, song melodies and sax riffs; if not all the time, then very often.
The process of getting all that stuff out through an instrument is much more tricky, but this is probably also where this Hal Galper “lesson” (video in another thread) is aiming at. If you can’t hear it, you certainly can’t get it out 
Totally, just other people’s, lol.
The one time I started huming something original was a bassline that seemed to be inspied by some Morphine music - I immediately recorded it on my phone. It was amazing, fantastic, so cool - then I played it back later, was meh.
My issue is breaking out of existing music and letting go.
Maybe I need to hit the dispensary more often.
Hah 
Composing isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, I guess. I mean a lot of y’all put amazing efforts into covers, including entire albums!
Most music I potentially wanted to cover, I can’t cover (no way), and so composing my own stuff is baby steps towards those more difficult pieces, like a fusion light or progressive pop, or whatever label we want to give it.
I think learning these covers gives you guys a lot of lines and riffs under your fingers that really come in handy one day… when you suddenly find yourselves in a situation where you need to come up with your own bass lines 
Nope, i was shooting for a bowie vibe, and feel good with it…lol
Recently took up surfing seemed fitting to have beach in the video
Nice work Larry! I liked the mix and the video.
Thanx Jerry, working on a new one now, but really surprised how this was rcvd…over 500 views on youtube in three days…may not be a lot for some folks but for a guy recording these things over a weekend in his office its a lot.
Definitely got the Bowie-ness in your tune. Good job! 
I watched it 498 times - that girl is really handling that board very well
Thanks Mike
So you’re the one…
I really really like this one man!
Great job @Tokyo_Rat !!
Ok, really really like this one too.
You’re onto something with your style 1000%!
Outstanding work Larry! I really enjoyed this.
Very enjoyable dude! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks John…this all started with a bass pod and I hit the setting with delay on it…LOL it never occurred to me to use delay on a bass.
Thank Jerry…I’ll be in there this weekend looking for something new but the same
Thank you CP
