Life on Mars? - I'm in! Have a Cigar - I'm in deep. Riverman sounds cool and worth some effort. Acoustic versions incoming! Oh, and a hollow archtop bass VI build in progress because I just can't help myself - Take THAT FreeBird Police.

I got Iris on bass up to 100% pretty quickly. I'll try to work on Poison Arrow this week, but not using the acoustic - I'll dust off one of the Bass VIs.

Oooh - excellent choice for advanced bass.

Thanks @Rodman I'm still woodshedding on it. Both acoustically and amplified, it is intolerant of fingering sloppiness. You can hear every squeak and clank. I'll report back after I shed a few lazy habits. Maybe I'll experiment with some form of string mute too. And thanks for reminding me. I need to make an addendum to my pervious post... Take that FreeBird police!

I need to get adjusted to my new bass, so I'll jump in on Daft Punk this week. First off, I just finished building this acoustic thunderbird 5 and strung it BEADG. I'm not used to the tuning, string spacing or scale, so This will take some work. so far, I'm up to 98.3% Here's a link to the thread with picture of the bass https://www.tdpri.com/threads/2021-winter-build-off-thunderbird-5.1057864/page-6 Edit - the whole build thread is in Link # 4 of my signature VVVVVVV

Can you throw a tribute in the mx: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/hilton-valentine-animals-guitarist-dead-obit-1121412/ The guitar intro to House of the Rising Sun is probably the most recognizable intro in the British Invasion. RIP Hilton Valentine

RS crashed an lost the screen shot, but trust me... Sleigh Ride on Bass = 100% I'm FreeBird, so my score doesn't matter, but for the record, Ping's score is slightly higher. A FreeBird Christmas to all!

+1 on having instruments that don't agree with downtuning. And cool axe BTW

Gimme Some Lovin on Bass - 100% in MM

RIP Spencer Davis, namesake of the Spencer Davis Group Tribute to follow, after I get home from work 2020 Sucks

RIP Toots Hibbert (Maytals) https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-54129388 Thanks for the skank

Third RIP this week. Brutal RIP Little Richard

Two RIP posts in the same week. depressing RIP Florian Schneider, co-founder of Kraftwerk

Here I go again. Disappearing for months at a time, returning only to deliver bad news. We lost another hero. RIP Dave Greenfield of The Stranglers. He was the keyboardist that defined The Stranglers' unique sound. I just spent the last hour playing tributes of Golden Brown, No More Heros, Nice 'n Sleazy, Peaches, Skin Deep, et al. I'll try top post the screen shots when I get a moment. No More Heros, indeed.

More bad news to the last few FreeBirds... Ain't No Sunshine because RIP Bill Withers The screen shot disappeared, but after all these years, when it comes to a tribute, you can trust me. Lean on Me, on bass, 97.5%
