Reel Big Fish-Beer. It needs a TON of work. But this is what I am working on and this thread is not called “what are you almost finished with.”
Work: Need to slow down to .75 speed. Transitions are killing me and I can’t keep up. Just the first 2 verses here. Gets even crazier as it goes on.
Oh, and I realized why my last recording stunk. My cat unplugged my external mike, so I was recording through the webcam. Fear not! My scarlet solo arrives this weekend!
Dude, that’s sounding pretty good already! I look forward to the “finished” version (they’re never finished).
I’m with ya on the cats, too. One of my cats barfed on my pedal board not long ago. Several hours and a full can of DeOxit later, I think I’ve got it back to normal 
That’s a very jazzy upright bass line. Very cool.
I’m working on ‘You’re the one that I want’ (uh uh uh) to tackle some issues I’m having with ghost notes at speed. This bassline is quite fun to play

Oooh that’s a great bass line!
That is a great bass line!
I’ve just gotten started on Meatloaf, Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Whew, this is going to be an adventure. Most of it’s pretty standard, but I feel like the real challenge will be keeping the timing solid for 8-1/2 minutes and doing a double time slap line in the middle

ETA: the real challenge will be finding someone who can f*cking sing it so I can play bass behind them. Oy.
Don’t ask Meatloaf 
Saw him at Birmingham in the uk way back in the early 80s and he was so unfit that his lead guitarist ended up singing this song. Did a fair job too but we didn’t pay to see him
But HE should have gotten “My heart will go on” ! …riiiight.
I found my new warm-up challenge… I’m not even close to good at it yet.

This one presents an interesting learning curve – really forces me to get the string crossing silky-smooth to get it to sound right. Not to mention the blazing speed of it all.
We bought a new house recently, and getting everything around has taken up a lot of my time. Nice to have something that’s frustrating in a wholly different way, hehe.
Um, yeah, we’ve been in our house for 16 years and still have boxes that we don’t know what to do with. It took us a year to get our dining room sorted out 
Short list:
And, dang! I never realized how fast that bass line is! Look forward to it in the Covers section!
If you can believe it… this is our “consolidation” house. Turning three properties into one. Ought to be fun figuring out where everything goes at this point. 
I have a great place for all your extra basses…
You say this after complaining in another thread about not having any room for even one more bass???
I have room for @chordsykat’s basses, not any new ones of mine.
It’s kinda like when my kids have room for dessert but no more room for dinner.
Ok…Same song but a full run through over lunch today. I am about 75%-80% there. Timing is off in a few spots and I dropped in a couple places and had to get back on. Hardest thing is doing the 2 runs during the breakdown section. fretting fingers are good, but I can’t pluck fast enough. Anyways…Hopefully I can have this complete in another week.
Sounding good Mr. Noob.
eh…making progress, but feel like I have hit a wall. plucking hand is too tense.
It’s fast for me but I will make it!!
I’m working on a few songs at the moment.
Far and away I’m having the hardest time with “Badfish”.
