Just worked this out (by ear, it was haaaaard)

What's Hot
BucketBucket Frets: 7751

Very cool XTC-ish song, and an amazing bass line by my favourite bassist, Jon Poole. It's so much fun to play!

Might do a video at some point.

    That IS hard, but there are good tabs etc out there for it. Nothing at all for this lot.

    Learned Rhythm Stick a long time ago. Can't play it very well but I know what it SHOULD sound like :D

    A tip (if you don't already do this) if you're trying to work out a bass part by listening to a song and playing along - play it an octave higher than the actual part and it's a lot easier to hear if you're right or not.

    Bass playing sounds good. Nice quality video as well, what camera?

    That hairstyle looks ... inconvenient.

    @axisus Thanks! Believe it or not, it's the front-facing camera on my Samsung Galaxy S6. No other processing other than a mild Instagram filter.

    I like my hair in that one :D It might be getting a bit long though, may need to get it cut soon.

    Another slight variant on the octave trick - play the original track an octave higher whilst learning it. Makes it much, much easier to discern what the bass is doing.
