Have you done any billy rath bass covers for Johnny thunders heart breakers??

[@SwampyJohn]

No, but I guess I should!

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

@Swampy John you have excellent taste in music, I love fred sonic smiths rendezvous band, the mc5 stooges voidoids, love the jam too and stoneroses, I have been listening to a lot of stuff from the late 80s early 90s like carter usm the senseless things, great bass player morgan Nicholls, i think he plays with muse now.

[@SwampyJohn]

@@matthewjdouglas6471 I think I know what you mean. I love those bands too, especially the Stooges and Stone roses. They don’t sound the same but have the same magic that makes them special

[@felipenovaislucas7356]

hey, I was looking for this song to learn, thanks !! something else, could you say what is this model of your bass? I've never seen a Washburn like this, very beautiful!

[@SwampyJohn]

Thanks! Good to hear you found this useful, I’m actually also making these covers to learn and re-learn songs. The bass is a Washburn Scavenger made in Japan in 1980. These are not very expensive in the second hand market but they are pretty well-made and have lots of character, which I like :)

[@felipenovaislucas7356]

@@SwampyJohn I don't know if I can find something similar here in Brazil for sale, but thanks for the information. Yeah dude, the best way to learn to play is just like that, now that I've seen how it works, I must practice too!

[@johncoppen512]

Any tabs for this?

[@SwampyJohn]

No tabs, unfortunately. I usually learn songs by ear because there always seems to be something wrong in the tabs :)
