Pretty much anything with a decent bass line!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Re: Your favorite songs to play on Ric bass?
I enjoy playing lots of pieces of music, and it's really hard to narrow it all down, but the ones that most often bring a smile to my face would be:
Rush - Xanadu
Rush - Jacob's Ladder
Yes - Something's Coming
Yes - Close to the Edge
Yes - Soundchaser
Genesis - Watcher of the Skies
'Mainstream' is my middle name, of course.

Tori Amos, "Professional Widow"... for some reason that was the first song I busted out on my first Ric and I IMMEDIATELY knew this was the bass for me. It sounded perfect.

Re: Your favorite songs to play on Ric bass?
When I'm noodling or warming up, I usually end up playing Roundabout or some Zeppelin (Ten Years Gone or What Is And What Should Never Be).
Re: Your favorite songs to play on Ric bass?
Never been any reason-Headeast , N.I.B.-Sabbath,My Sharona-The Knack,lessons-Rush.

OK, I'll be a little more specific.cjj wrote:Pretty much anything with a decent bass line!
Rush has a lot of fun stuff, Distant Early Warning, YYZ, The Trees, Tom Sawyer
Lots of stuff by Yes, Roundabout is great
Various stuff by Pink Floyd, One of These Days (playing with the echo is great fun!)
A bit more modern would be Third Eye Blind - Semi-charmed life
Numerous Tom Petty tunes
Uh, this could take WAY too long...

Re: Your favorite songs to play on Ric bass?
South Side of the Sky has always been a favorite of mine, as well as Yours is No Disgrace.
I've been brushing up on early REM tunes like Can't Get There From Here and Fall on Me...
Of course there are all those Beatles tunes also.
