Thanks for starting this thread Rick. I have always been interested in harmony lines, and more recently in bass lines. The bassist in the Talking Heads, Victor ? in the Flecktones have both insppired me a great deal. Then, a couple of years ago, my husband bought me an electric bass for Christmas. I have found it very daunting to practice it alone, and haven't much, but recently we pulled out a Stevie Wodner recording and started messing around. This thread has given me some encouragement. I'l haul out the sucker and see what I can do.Susan A-R
