The Last Bass Outpost

Great players are kind of always soloing. Even within the structure of a "bass line" there is alot of room to add variation upon themes. Seeing Phil Lesh's line for Scarlet Begonias in Bass Player illustrates this point. His playing still provides a foundation while at the same time adds rhythmic variation and makes room for melodic outbursts. Jamerson could also be very subtly nuanced in the way he put his lines together as well. Andy Fraser definitely never played the same lines over and over again. That's what separates good players from great ones. Jazz Rock our whatever category is irrelvant. It's all music.

That bass is shipping to me! It's going to sound great crankin' through a Sunn 2000s! This is my first post. Figured this was the place to be where there is a whole lot of info about Gibsons. Other than this bass my stable includes a 66' EB3, 69' EB1 and a 2007 Les Paul Money bass (blue). I'm interested to see if the Thunderbuckers might be a good swap for the Money bass. Cheers everyone.
