Wait For The Blackout bassline - The Damned

[@CFrink]

I used this song for my bass audition piece to get into college. Had to be one of the most important moments in my life when I got accepted, and I will always have this song, and specifically your bass line, to thank for it! Thank you so much!

[@iainweir]

Your Bass playing took The Damned to a new high when The Black Album came out. Inspired me then just as watching this is now.

[@BagBoy81]

This is such a great bassline that was mostly buried in the mix, it's good to hear it clean. I had the immense pleasure of working for The Damned in 81, hence the name.....it's all been downhill ever since.

[@GT500BASS]

One of the greatest bass lines ever. Thanx Paul for sharing this one!

[@michaelkennedy5126]

It really is. I also liked Paul even better in UFO

[@Eklektik40]

It gave me chill just listening to it!! Man... The Black album is one my 5 favorite of all time. And I'm talking about the whole rock spectrum!!

[@Pacquaio]

Excellent to see it played by the man himself , thanks Paul

[@robinolver6773]

Paul gray. A God on the bass. Why only 48 hundred views. Should be 48 million. I'll lend you my 79 P if you ever in town.

[@guitarbasslessonspeterboro2992]

Awesome Paul. in 1992 the band I was in covered this song. The drummer in that band was a certain Andrew Pinch Pinching .....!

[@maff2001]

If you ever feel like doing requests - I would love to hear Under The Floor Again. In my mind the best bass line ever!

[@colargolfriend]

fully agree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@l.salisbury1253]

Always luved you basswork on "lively arts". Gives Jean Jacques Burnel's early work (ie "No More Heroes") a good run-for-the-$$$...

[@TGiannini007]

That song was excellent. There is also good drumming in it as well.

[@PurityVendetta]

You know, when I bought my Fender Jazz many years ago it was a choice between the 68 Jazz and a 70 Rickenbacker 4002. Sometimes I really wish I'd had the money to buy both. They were both around £230 back then but I could only afford one.

[@belfastgypsy1]

Fantastic

[@stephanvenner2939]

That's the Rickenbacker Sound.Motörhead,Joy Division,The Damned, Eddie and the Hotrods,..a real Bassguitar.

[@nasskhan4543]

Excellent

[@StefanMikulski]

You're my idol, Paul Gray!

[@bizarreisthenewblack]

amazing

[@deanfeldman2505]

Greatly appreciated

[@davidtrupp9289]

Agreed EklektiK40! One of the 5 or 6 best bands in rock history and maybe 100 people worldwide can name their repertoire. And they as me why I drink...

[@belfastgypsy1]

Iconic

[@Detroit1967]

Go Paul!

[@robertsimms8281]

He had some sick bass lines in UFO too

[@grahamneale9228]

Still fresh

[@dunringill99]

[@BagBoy81]

[@brenlyd]

As an impressionable 16 year old this bass line was burned in my wetware.

[@chuckabbate6650]

Drool.
