I really should make an icon of my new bass. :p

So when I've had the time, I've been playing along with some of the same tunes I played along with when I first started playing bass back in '87 or so, just to remember some of the techniques I used in the past. To whit:

Joy Division, tracks 5-10 of Substance, for simple runs and melodies.
Cocteau Twins, tracks 1-5 of Blue Bell Knoll for dual-tone melodies.
Wire, "Ahead", for speed (those are sixteenth notes, kids!)
...and of course Flying Bohemians songs to remember how to play them!

And to be played:
The Cure, most of Pornography, mainly for repetition and reaching
Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin (the first album), for blues riffs and dexterity


I'll probably dig up more later on, once I've got those chops down again. :)
