I’m only just testing my fretless bass so I used this tune to do so.
Hope you can guess it!

It’s the 100th day of my riffaday project and to celebrate it I made a little bit different riff than normal.
I made a adaptation for tapping bass of a very famous piece. Hope you like it!

I always get eargasms when I listen to this band.
Now every drummer, every guitar player and every bass player is jealous of these guys and rightly so!

I got a left over bass (yeah I got some of those too :p) converted to a fretless one yesterday and needed to do a cover with it.
This one is from my favourite movie of all time.
Let me know if you liked it or not…

It’s a very nice day over here in sunny Belgium!
So that calls for some sunny vibes in the riffaday too.

I hope you’re up for a challenge today!
This funky bassline was used as the theme song for a blockbuster but was actually sampled from a 80s soul hit. Although the original is a half tone higher than the one I’m playing it’s essentialy the same thing.
Can you guess the movie or the original?

Ow and a Ow! Groove is definitely in the heart!
Funky house with Bootsy – bassmaster – Collins in the video. I presumed that he played the bass for Deee-lite in this song but I was wrong. Bootsy only does the cameo and says some silly things on the track but doesn’t play the bass. The bassline is actually a sample from a Herbie Hancock song called Bring down the birds.
Now go impress your pubquiz buddies with this information.

I needed a 5-string bass, a capo and some tapping to pull this one of so I hope you like my effort here.
Needless to say that the song is normally not played this way. I tried to emulate the sound of a harpsichord and some piano bass notes.
