The Last Bass Outpost

I like Miss Bowers' playing and believe that she's talented. Having said that, the material on the debut album did nothing for me.

However...she seemed like a genuinely nice and perhaps naive young lady in the couple of interviews that I've come across. I'd tend to believe that there was a reason for her anger, as poorly as she might have worded her feelings.

She might have just seen the light and dodged the bullet.

I tend to give young people a benefit of a doubt more often than not so...

We'll see what she comes up with next.

Congrats!

Oh c'mon ! Being that you're from Brooklyn - where I used to live many harvests ago - I'd fully expect you to throw my earthly remains in a trunk of a '69 Caddy...

All jokes aside, I guess that I've just been surrounded by way too many Hendrix buffs during the course of my lifetime so I'm not really used to having a dissenting opinion tolerated...

Quote from: patman on January 23, 2026, 06:26:52 PMI just bought a copy of "Band of Gypsies" by Jimi Hendrix, and enjoyed it immensely.  Billy Cox was awesome, in keeping it all glued together. Monster bass tone.

The only Hendrix album that I can listen to nowadays. Shoot me, I don't care.

"Free Live" would definitely be one of my top choices, along with ABB, Uriah Heep and Humble Pie.

Having said that, "Ummagumma" and "Mother's Finest" are the only two live albums from the era that I actually willingly listen to in my old age.

My deepest condolences.

She creates some very fine music for sure.

I find this young lady amazing...

A pretty bass. I've always been intrigued by these but never got a chance to play one.

It most certainly is, although Mark King never hid his admiration for Bruce, including recording "I Feel Free" on his solo album.

Good to see Phil Manzanera as well...one of the few staples of the glorious days of UK music still standing.

Quote from: Dave W on March 30, 2025, 02:18:16 AMI notice that the over-$2K neck throughs all say that they won't be restocked, so maybe these are old stock.

My understanding is that these are some kind of a test run. Test for what exactly, I have no clue but one and done. Not old stock though, evident if you look at the serials which give 2024 as the production year.
