OK I'll give you a clue about my latest post...the "source" song which was sampled in the recent tune was released as an official DLC and is included in the list from the Soul/Funk Appreciation Society thread.

As for the Eminem song, the guitar riff sounds like some Led Zep or maybe some Aerosmith...correct?

OK I'll give the answers for this first one :

'Je Danse le Mia' contains the guitar sample from 'Give Me The Night' by George Benson

'I Wish' was (heavily) sampled in the theme song from the 'Wild Wild West' movie by Will Smith

Now on with two more songs :

The recent one :

The old one :

Have fun!

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a nice fretless tone for bass, any ideas?

Thanks!

I guess there will be this sort of reaction...

It's humour rather than music, but this is how I remember him.

I hadn't laughed that much for a long long time !!

Oh  :(

So the thrill is really gone now...

RIP blues man

What a list !!

Technically this one is almost a cover, and both songs have the same name so I'm not even sure we can talk about 'sampling' here, looting might be more appropriate ;)

So what about the videos I posted? Who will give the correct answers?

List has been updated with 'I'll Take You There' by the Staple Singers and a new version of 'Little Green Bag' by The George Baker Selection

I knew you would like it ;)

Oh and by the way, is there any way to show the new threads on the group's home page? Giving more visibility to the new topics would probably encourage people to participate more

OK so here's an idea to start things going here : we could play a guessing game where someone would post a video of a recent song and the players would have to identify the sample used in the song. Or we can also do it the other way around : we post a video of an old school song and the players have to tell which recent song has sampled the initial one. Or we can have one of each at the same time...

Wanna play? I'll start with some very easy ones  :)

Recent song : 

IAM (French rap band) - Je Danse Le Mia

Old school song :

Stevie Wonder - I Wish

maybe we should provide some content to make membership more attractive. Wouldn't be a bad idea. ;)

Yes I agree the place could be more entertaining...maybe we could have a weekly poll about artists, albums, instruments etc...?

Thanks for the link @@firekorn ! I'll go check it out

This is one of my favorite songs to play on bass

I finished building the $100 Challenge Bass.  Here's a picture of her beside the guitar that I mentioned several posts back

And here's the build thread with the gory details

Incredible !! And I absolutely love the shape you gave it.

Hey there

Did we lose someone? 'cause the head count went from 8 to 7

Hey @@Aludog!

Yeah I'd be curious to have it, just to see how much I suck at transcriptions   :D

This is something I don't do very often, I really should do some more...

Just started working on a Marcus Miller transcription today :

Right now it looks like this and it's only 35 seconds of the song (!) :

Hopefully I will go through and maybe make a CDLC out of it !

Well hello!

The list has been updated with the 3 latest Fela Kuti tracks by @@Aludog and I also changed the link for 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy', it's pointing to the version by @@vinegarv now, 'cause this one has bass!

Well that would mean we would have two lists in two different threads that would be updated by two different users...same job done twice which is a bit silly... Plus the list here can be viewed by anyone without having to be a member of the social group

Yeah I'm looking at the group's options as well. Maybe we can keep this lists here up to date and put a link on the group's welcome page that would point here?

List has been updated with Supergroove, Sade, Hall & Oates and a few other ones.

Hey everyone,

I'll update the list soon with the songs that most of us agree on...for the rest of them, well at least we know they're around.

Meanwhile enjoy Syl Johnson :

I was thinking...'Around The World' by Daft Punk...would you vote yes or no?

Thanks for the input @@Aludog

Does anybody else want to share ideas, opinions? Do you agree or disagree? @LaceyB @ArnoldRimmer @Leorstef @@bernixix and everyone.

Here are my votes (of course, this is highly subjective) :

Alicia Keys - If I Aint Got You > Yay
Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar > Yay
Black Eyed Peas (all of them) > Nay 
Bruno Mars (all of them) > I'd say yay, especially 'Treasure'
Justin Timberlake (all of them) > probably preconceived thinking but...nay
Kool and the Gang - Take My Heart > Yay
Lou Bega - Mambo Number 5 > Hell Nay!
Luther Vandross - Never Too Much > Yay
Rihanna (all of them) > Nay

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five - The Message > Yay

Sade > Yay

Katy Perry > Nay

Britney > Who?

Hall & Oates > Why not? 

Madonna > Yay for Like A Virgin, Material Girl would be a Nay though

China Girl and Let's Dance by David Bowie > Nay

All the other songs, I need to listen to them first cause I've never heard of them (the songs, not the artists).
