Just heard this on the internet trannie and thought of Mr F t Snowman. A classic track with a chance for a budding (budded?) bassist to practice timing on a repetetive riff with a brief opportunity to cut free with a nice simple but great sounding bass line? Timing is of the essence with this track and is something I find difficult over any length of time.

Also, have a look at the comments from Rushworshipper92. HAven't I been telling all you bloody kids that the music when I was young ...............

.............. sorry, I must have dozed off. What was I saying? I hope I didn't fart whilst I was asleep.

You won't look will you?

Man I was born in 92' and I seriously think somebody messed my birth up because every band i listen to is from the 70's and 80's and i can honestly say I would have loved to be around when music was like this. I really don't get what is being called music in my generation. So please TAKE ME BACK WITH YOU! haha

Yes music was real music between the 60s and 70s especially the 80s but if I take you back you wouldn't listen to fantastic music would have been called a lazy git pot smoking drug taking long-haired shorthairs sneaker wearing loafers drainpipes you get the picture but if I do take you back.
there is a drawback you wood be called bald an old Fat know it all done it all in your pants and Fart every five minutes

:-(

My timing's all to hell. there's no way i'd be able to play that at the moment.

i haven't got the dexterity in my fingers either as the knuckle joints are slowing up

classic baseline for me - marshall hain "Dancing in the city"

In my younger days was just one of the tracks that inspired me to want to play bass
