The Last Bass Outpost

Here's what Jack played. I guess he was miffed about how Felix Pappalardi used his bass line from Lawdy Mama and thought it didn't work as well on the newly arranged Strange Brew. Sounds good to me though. One interesting part of the line is when E.C. starts his solo at around the second page of my transcription, Jack pulls of some hefty whole tone bends. I think it works best by bending up to E from the 10th fret of the E string, bending up to D from the 8th fret of the E string and releasing back to the C. The next bar has a bend up to A from the 10th fret of the A string and a release back to G. Have fun folks.

A lot of that Sound Garden tune sounds like Dinosaur Jr. to me. Speaking of the Purple, didn't they throw in some wacky diminished altered stuff on "Super Trouper"?

Hi Fi systems are out there but they're all priced out of the reach of most average folk's budget. Would be sweet to have an analog tube driven stereo system but I'm not Bill Gates. I saw Wilson speakers at one place that can cost as much as a  new porsche

Is it me or does the pic of that bass show a little more travel between the string ball ends and the sadles than you usually see? Could it be Gibson finally reconfigured the 3 point bridge?

I don't have anything to add about Kiss or their bassist Chaim Weitz, I just wanted to say it's good to know Uwe isn't a raging racist.

Well from what I heard on another thread this bass is built by Mas Hino, who is apparently a very respected builder. Mas and Jimmy Coppollo were both under the tutellage of John Suhr. So if people will pay that much for an Alleva Coppollo I guess this isn't much of a stretch considering all the Nitro and "hand carving".
