My Generation bass solo

[HarryOsgood]

good but next time turn the lights on

[FockingLars]

awesome bass bro

[superlobo76]

great the hoffner!!!!

[14music94]

I'm not liking the bass style either. But very good playing. = )

[gypsymatt91]

not a hofner

[gypsymatt91]

it might be a rouge knockoff... that's my guess. but yeah, no hoffner. anyway, not too bad

[bbyrne16]

Nice solo and nice Hoffner

[SpaceTwinn]

I have a hofner, but that is not one, thats a copy.

[mrbassman25]

@SpaceTwinn

ive played tanglewood and epiphone's that kick the shit out of 'Hofners'

you sound a rite snob !!

hofners arent even that expensive or good... Paul Mcartneys was the equivilent of £60 today, the only reason they are £500now is because he made the guitar well known...  so in other words.... you've been suckered ;) snob!

[SpaceTwinn]

@mrbassman25 Take it easy, I didn't say anything about it except for that it wasn't a hofner, people keep calling it a hofner but it's not, I just said I have one to prove that I knew it wasn't.

[surfincircelli]

huzzah for hofners

[VBSouthpaw]

Cool Bass,

Nice Solo.

[NeCrO1693]

its not paul its john entwistle

[drodenbar]

he was talking about the type of bass... the hofner

[NeCrO1693]

ok sorry for the misunderstanding

[screamineagles92]

awesome hofner man!

[bernaU2]

the who with an hofner bass. awesome ahah

[rokstr3]

nice paul mcartney replica bass

[andosnandos]

you are very n00b

[skatethe2k8]

sloppy but i guess its alright, the solo really isn't hard but its way fun to play

[lolwutnub]

Obviously, you've not tried playing it.

[skatethe2k8]

uh yeah i have, i've been playing for four years i think i'm good enough to play it, you noob

[d00derson]

I think some skateboarding douche wouldn't be committed enough to get anywhere near good on the bass.

[skatethe2k8]

uh yea just cause i skate i cant play bass? your an idiot. ive been playin for 4 years also, and some people ARE better than others, and im not bragging, dont be an asshole

[d00derson]

Well, until I see videos of you playing, I won't believe you. It's not just the fact that you skate, because there are some good players who skate (Larry Lalonde for example, even though you probably don't know who that is) but you just seem like a cocky douchebag.

[skatethe2k8]

im not a cocky douchebag, but yeah ill put some videos up soon, and i know who larry lalonde is, hes not a bassist either dumbass. dont assume, faggot.

[d00derson]

Of course Ler isn't bassist you pompous prick, he was just the only guitar (by the way, bass is a form of the guitar, not a completley different league) player that skates I could think of. You seem very mature for your 14 years, what with the "faggot" and what not. I'm not exactly mature myself (obviously) but I have long outgrown that word. And I can assume all I want.

[skatethe2k8]

yeah i obv know bass and guitar are related, and im not 14 years? im 16...and you cant say faggots immature and call me a prick, dumbass.

[d00derson]

I certainly think that prick is a more mature word than faggot. How often do you hear little 12 year olds calling eachother pricks? They don't even know what it means. But you sure do hear faggot a lot.

[Stroh874]

it really isnt very hard, and it is way fun to play. i skate too and i also play bass. I have been a huge john entwistle fan and the recorded solo isnt the one he had planned. He was going to record a much more intricate solo using a dan electro bass but the strings kept breaking, so he recorded a simpler version using a fender jazz, labella tape wound strings, and a pick.

[michaelt132]

as if skating was relavent mr modest know-it-all

you should also check your sources bcuz, its not like he slaps the strings, i highly doubt they broke

[Stroh874]

if you actually read the above conversation, someone said that anyone who skateboards does not have the commitment to play an instrument. And maybe before accusing someone else of having bad sources, you should actually read up yourself, and you will easily find that John bought 3 Dan Electro basses to record the solo, but he kept breaking strings. Dan Electro didnt make replacement strings, so he used his fender jazz

[KyleVerbeke]

Um, ever seen Danelectro longhorn strings?

You could floss with them...

[staypress]

blimey I could nt learn this lick even if I wanted to. To dark and hofners are crap and badly played hohoh

[magrao600]

holly fucked mother of the fucking god is a hofner 100% original?

[jedw]

too dark!!! ahh

[kski94]

That looks really wrong on yer bass.- but good job.

[DeesteR80]

Good job, man. I'm trying to learn that right now, that helped me to see how it's actually done.

[theotherstrummer]

could u send me the tabs pls

[illwhoopyaheadboi]

Sorry, I don't have tabs

[StingrayForLife]

you use a pick? or 3 finger technique?

[illwhoopyaheadboi]

I usually use 2 fingers.

[bassplayeradam94]

3 fingers? yeah i only use two.

[jarrodthebassplayer]

im a slap guy, i like doing it on all songs

[gianttaco12345]

nice paulmcrantey bass

[NavyPilot400]

[brutelements]

[sgtpeppers142]

Sweet Hofner!

[jsyager]

[rodcrippler]

thats nothing compared to the 4 minutes solo of 5:15

[hofnersinla]

[illwhoopyaheadboi]
