The Last Bass Outpost

What a mindblower to find this ol' clip:



I still think Jack White is brilliant but I thot he was a genius when I thot he wrote this song.
Been listenin' to Icky Thump a lot!!! Readin' a book about The White Stripes tooo

Funny that I got turned on to them on a bass site. haha
Not usually any bass on their songs. Nevertheless~ Cool duo!!

Who do you like better~ Jack White or Jack Black??

Cobham was one of my fav drummers in the 70s--Rick Laird played bass with The Mahavishnu Orchestra. Somehow or other SPECTRUM slipped by me.
How could I have not bought this all these years?

Also gotta get Deep Purple's Come Taste the Band with Bolin replacing Blackmore.
That's the only Coverdale album I'm missing I think.
Tommy Bolin~ All I have of his is a cd called Whips and Roses.
The guy had some chops!!! He was in the James Gang too!!??!!
I'll be buyin' some cds tomorrow....

Mostly when we hear from our neighbors it's a complaint, a request to turn down, or stop altogether cuz it's too loud, it's too late, blah blah blah

Well tonight a guy walking his dog saw me sittin' on one of the benches in my front yard & hollered out, "My mother & I always walk by here & she's a singer & we live 4 doors down the street & we LOVE your music!!"
So we talked awhile & he was very complimentary about my bass playing & the drumming (which is sometimes my drummer Joe & usually me) & it was SO GOOD to hear positive reactions & get good vibes from another neighbor....besides the young couple next door who love us too.

He complimented my house & yard too & said "You can tell an artist lives here."

Ain't that cool?

WHITESNAKE ~ GOOD TO BE BAD

I am really LOVIN' this album! Coverdale has found a great songwriting partner in Doug Aldrich--who is also a badass guitarist, playing mostly LPs. They put out 4 new songs as Bonus Tracks on their LIVE In The Shadow of the Blues cd a year & a half ago, but this is technically WHITESNAKE's first full length studio album since 98's Restless Heart--which was originally planned to be a solo DC album like his Y2k solo disc Into The Light. Both those albums had some HEAVY moments but were mostly pretty m-e-l-l-o-w.
This new cd is everything I LOVE about WS! KILLER Riffs, solos, singing with passion....great bass playing (Uriah Duffy) & great drumming (NEW GUY--Chris Frazier)
Good Hard Rock!!!

As you know I got a big thrill out of pushin' the BIN button on a 53 Gibson.
I was also thrilled to purchase a 70s Ampeg rig last year.

Unfortunately, they are both USELESS!!
They HUM like a giant fokking swarm of bees.

Together or apart, they HUM. A different bass into the Ampeg still HUMS.
A different amp with the 53...still HUMS.

Not tolerable HUMS at all. HORRIBLE LOUD FOKKING HUMS!!

Good news is:
The Epi V I bought for 5 bills & my trusty ol' Behringer $200 head thru a JBL cab with 2 15s sound GREAT together!! They've been my Go To bass & rig for months now.

These clips from the movie just crack me up!!!
