    Radiohead's Colin Greenwood explains how he wrote the 'Airbag' bassline

    I haven't listened to any Radiohead in a quite while, and then heard Airbag for the first time in years over the weekend. I'd forgotten how cool the bassline is, so I went down a Colin Greenwood rabbit hole and found this article from a few weeks ago: “Sometimes I make the bassline too complex...

    First NBD in 20+ years!

    I'm a returning player who picked up my old Japanese Squier MB4 again a couple of years ago after not touching it for two decades. To be honest the Squier is still doing a perfectly decent job for the most part and I'm not getting rid of it, but I still had the radar on for a good deal on a...

    Lapsed player returning to the fold

    Hi, I played bass for a while in my teens-early 20s back in the 1990s, and then for whatever reason gave it up, and later moved overseas. I was on a visit back home a couple of weeks ago, found my old bass in storage (a Squier MB-4, nothing fancy), picked it up, and basically didn't put it down...
