I have challenged myself with 10 80's bass lines on another website (SBL). However, I thought I would post some here as well, as it may spark some interest for T-Row.

Hi B,

I don't have them all....yet. I did two others with just a Flip Camera in my basement. I will post those shortly.
For Maneater, I used my logitech webcam with quicktime 7. Recorded with garage band. Then I used Imovie to drop the video. Syncing up the audio is pretty hit or miss, it took a while but I got as close as I could.

Thanks for your contributions, Arnold. Your playing is wonderful. :o Oh yeah, and I, too, wish more of our beloved members would participate. We wouldn't want to lose this special bass place due to lack of interest. :(

Videos, progress reports, gigs... it's all very important.

I Can't Go for That!

80's Bass Challenge - I Can't Go For That! Ok, lots of questions about how I put these together and the bass. The Bass is a custom build my wife bought me for my 50th. Lonny White Gold Standard 5. This is number 7, awesome!
I used a Zoom B3 multi-effects pedal (no effects) to get the audio into my computer. Using Garage Band to record the audio along with a track of the original tune. I used my LogiTech webcam and QuickTime7 to record the video. Finally, I but it all together in iMovie (obviously, I am a Mac guy). Syncing the audio and the video is a bit of a trick but not as bad as it sounds. Enjoy.

Love the bass work!! Now on the Mac??? I bought one just to do work with Garage Band!!! Other wise way to over priced and the way you do things??? PC is so much easier when you do a ton of different things on it. WYSIWYG!! OR THINK AND THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS!!! OK, enough computer talk back to the bass!!!

Macs are great. Overpriced is subjective, I grew up in the world of windows and still use it regularly. But for me, dealing with driver issues, hardware compatibility/incompatibility, security, etc. is just too much of a pain in the arse. The mac allows me to limit the pain, and I can run windows on my mac just as well or better than most PCs. The best of all worlds, Mac, Windows, Linux

I agree on security. That's what I need to do run windows on mac. It just on windows I fly like a bird!! Like I always heard though music you can't beat a mac. By the way do you know how to turn password of mac it's driving me nuts asking for passwords for everything?

Under Pressure!

I made a couple mistakes, missed the start...always seem to miss it. and another in the middle of the song. Otherwise I think it is pretty close.

Pino Palladino's awesome bass line on Paul Young's "Tear Your Play House Down". He is playing with a fretless musicman (I think). I don't own a fretless (yet). So this is my LW5 with a Zoom B3 pedal using its octaver. I also think Pino is playing a octave higher than where I am.

The Outro totally kicked my arse..I found the notes, but I can't get them to speed so I am dropping notes all over the place...What do you want from me... I am no Pino :cool: Anyway, hope you like it.

Twilight Zone - Golden Earring.

This is the epitome of the saying "less is more" it took me about 5 minutes to figure this line out. But for all its simplicity it is a very effective line for this song. And for all of it's "simplicity" I still made a few mistakes playing it....

My 80's Bass Challenge - Cult of Personality by Living Colour...This is not totally correct because I can't get it..at least not yet. Very tough song (Doug Winbish is a monster on bass). But after lots and lots of work, this is the best I could do...more work required.

The final song of my 80's bass challenge. This is Ready for Love by Bad Company. You see me looking away from time to time...that is me watching football, my team is losing...I made a mistake in the middle of the song. I probably should not watch football while doing this....
