Had a little noodle along with 'Cosmic Slop' by Funkadelic on my 4001.

 

[Metalbasspro]

Prong - Unconditional. Correctly I might add.

 

[Hevy T]

New Orleans is Sinking...private practice at home

 

[Goatrope]

White Wedding (Billy Idol)

 

[MegaSwing]

'This Old Heart of Mine', by the Isley Brothers during their brief stint at Motown

Gringo, The Ventures

We covered this song, except we had a horn section do the cheesy keyboard parts. Our keyboard player used a piano sound.

The bass playing on this track is really good. I'd never even listened to a Selena song before our singer brought this one in.




The horn section did Auld Lang Syne at midnight without the band, so technically it wasn't the first song of the night for me.

I'll take you there, by the Staple Singers

At some point on 1/1/17 I went to my practice barn to get something. But I decided Then and there to pick up my bass for a few minutes and play You Can Call Me Al. Full system, cranked loud but with heavy limiter cuz it's kinda fun that way.

ALS at midnight, immediately followed by Hendrix's Voodoo Chile on my pink Fenderish Jazz

 

[BassAndReeds]

Shedding, was maybe Shake Your Body Down To The Ground.

First gig will be Wednesday, first song is the Overture to A Christmas Story, the musical. But I'm playing woodwinds (flute, Picc, clarinet, soprano sax, alto sax)

Next bass gig is unknown. My rock/blues band had the guitar player leave last month. It's unclear the band's future. I'm currently auditioning for new bands.

All Right Now by Free.

We figured that it was appropriate for kicking 2016 out the door.

Living on a Prayer right after Auld Lang Syne in Jersey

I noodled around on my Ditto Looper with Federico Malaman's take on "Smells Like Teen Spirit" sometime early AM January 1.

Love that one, damn can you cover every thing that amazing bass player does, especially the cool solo riff ?
