The Bass Zone / Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" bass intro
« on: October 29, 2013, 07:25:00 AM »
We're working on this song and while the bass part for the song on the whole is dead-simple, the intro is stumping me. It's a short little fretless part, just a few seconds at the beginning of the song. I found some tab on T*lkbass but it seems wrong, the part sounds like it's played above the 12th fret, which is not what's shown in the tab.
Anyone got any ideas?
Help!

Other Bass Brands / Schecter Hellcat Bass VI
« on: August 26, 2013, 07:48:32 AM »
Got my lefty Hellcat VI Thursday, hit the road Friday for a gig in Monroe LA. It played/sounded great, I'm very happy. This is my fifth VI but my first lefty VI since I got my first VI in 1990.

The Outpost Cafe / Hangin' with Peter Tork

After the Monkees show in Austin last night. Funny guy. Only played bass on one song, mostly played a red Strat and a banjo. Played really good slide on one tune.

Other Bass Brands / My Longhorn Herd
« on: May 14, 2013, 10:33:18 AM »
My herd has changed recently, I sold both of my Jerry Jones basses(4 and 6-string), and reaquired my Hondo Longhorn which I bought new in '82(?) and sold to a friend in 2000. Good to have it back, did lots of gigging with it in the 80s.

A bit of history:
The Byrds taped a few tunes for a TV show, and Chris Hillman played a strange bass that has always intrigued me: P-Bass body with a maple neck with 2X2 headstock and what appears to be a Fender decal.
I had a Squire P-Bass Special, replaced the neck with one I just received from Warmoth, added some Hipshot tuners, a bridge cover, and "Flyer" decal. I dig it.
