The Last Bass Outpost

Saw Cowboys and Aliens tonight.
Daniel Craig and Olivia Wilde did a good job, and the action sequences were OK, but the film was about 15 minutes too long and Harrison Ford's character arc should have been better written.

Here's a desk recording from my blues power trio gig last night at The Vanguard in Sydney (named last year as one of the 10 great music venues in the world).  First outing for my new Dark Star P bass.

That is great stuff, Mark.  Really foward and in your face. Got any more? Thanks for posting it.

Well, there's stupid, and then there's sack tapping.

He's a big bag 'o douche.

The first concert I saw was Jefferson Airplane in the New Haven Coliseum, 1968. I was taken there by my babysitter.
First show I went to by myself was Grand Funk Railroad at Yale Bowl in 1971. Their opening act was a band from England no one had heard of named Yes. I was 13, hitched home by myself after midnight. Those were different times.
Also the first of many shows where the opening act completely blew away the headliner, but nobody in the audience seemed to notice.

That sounds fantastic.

Zumbro, sounds great. Your singer's got a BIG vox.

All sheep have tails unless they are lopped off.

Nice recording Jim. Cool songs as well!

Thanks a lot, Mr. Cat. I really appreciate your compliment.

I always enjoy your performances, TBird.

Here's a few clips from my band. Three original studio songs and a few live covers.
The studio stuff was bass drums and rhythm guitar live to tape with vocal and lead overdubs.

Sounds like a typical day at my office.

We play a couple of their songs. Always gets a reaction. I think it might be the power of D/C/G.

The HQ version disappeared, but this one's still worth a watch. Carmine and Tim are great, and Tim's 'Tele' bass is very cool.

The medicine was much stronger back then.




I know this one's available other places than online, but it's close to the perfect music video. Good Lip sync, naked Supermodels and stuff explodes.

The Stranglers - Nice 'n Sleazy. Awesome tone & riff. P Bass, rotos & Hiwatts.

WARNING- The opposite of safe for work. Intended for mature audiences only.


Elbow - Grounds For Divorce. Jazz Bass


And of course-
Beastie Boys - Sabotage riff at about 1:40 - simple, yet effective. Jazz Bass again.


The Who My Generation. John's Riff  with a Vox Bass.

I wish I had been a bit more adventuresome in the early days. There were amazing deals to be had, especially in Fullerton RIs.
I also remember passing on a Sherwood Green Telecaster bass with a cap neck that went for $800. Still kick myself over that one.
