Me, Black Sabbath's Paranoid, just good fun

Gotta wait till I’m home.

We're a '60s/'70s cover band. I do most of the announcing. When we do"My Girl", I say I enjoy doing this song because the intro features...ME! Also our closer-"We gotta get outta this place"-same reason.So, bass playing time: Do you have an all time favourite song that you love playing? Not for any skill factors necessarily, for just sheer fun, whatever.

That's purty!Epi Vintage Pro number 2 has arrived! I haven't had much time to spend with it. Unpacked it and gave it a quick once over, sure looks like a keeper, the grain is all I hoped for!View attachment 2998760
You play both of these with a pick?We're a '60s/'70s cover band. I do most of the announcing. When we do"My Girl", I say I enjoy doing this song because the intro features...ME! Also our closer-"We gotta get outta this place"-same reason.![]()
Actually, neither. I play "finger style" so much of the time that my right hand starts to cramp up picking (except my nose). I use the pick sometimes for a little "pop" and I used to use it a lot back in the '80s. Just kinda got out of it. Carol Kaye would Not like me.You play both of these with a pick?

1 coffee by 5 am. Green tea at night.The Mod starts the day with this.

I fail to understand the fuss. The only equipment required for a refreshing and sustaining hot drink is a vessel of hot water with some dried camellia leaves in it.
Yeah, hear that. Besides, those two were prolly recorded with fingers..Actually, neither. I play "finger style" so much of the time that my right hand starts to cramp up picking (except my nose).

I saw a video of "The Animals" doing the song. Bassist Was picking. I tried it-no go! I'm sure if I worked on it I could pick it but I'm happy(?) as is.Yeah, hear that. Besides, those two were prolly recorded with fingers..

He was mostly obscured by Burdon but I'm sure I'd have noticed if it was.Was he playing a Bird?
