Lockdown Licks no. 253. “Down In A Tube Station At Midnight” by The Jam.
Playing the Bruce Foxton intro bass lick and Paul Weller rhythm ‘stabs’ in style of original. Using an HB35+ guitar into a NUX M8 amp set to ‘clean’ when recording the bass riff onto a loop station vid 1. Set to “metal” for the rhythm and bass on vid 2. I turned the volume to full on the rhythm guitar to generate some guitar feedback before the rhythm starts playing partial chord stabs around Am and G.
“Down In A Tube Station at Midnight” is a single by The Jam, and was the second single from their third album, “All Mod Cons”. Released in October 1978, it reached No. 15 in the UK Singles Chart.
