Headstock is ugly yes. I still like Eastwood and what they do.
I agree but we still need a sound clip
The Stones without Wyman are a Stones cover band.
I saw those guys at a fairly small venue just before they truly exploded. They were powerhouses!
Well, it could have always gotten even worse if the dreaded "Mick Taylor was better for the Stones than Ron Wood"-follow up discussion would have reared its ugly head!
BTW, Mick T was a more accurate bass player too as can be heard here (Wyman wasn't at the session for that particular song). You can tell it's Mick because he follows Charlie's bass drum more closely than Bill W ever did.As if he had thought to himself "I've heard that in other bands, the bassist locks in with the bass drum, perhaps we should try that for once ...".
Not knocking Bill though, he was idiosyncratically great, just not much of a bass drum follower, but not everyone has to be.
Mel could have told you, Ilan! We're an American mud.
I'm surprised Fender never did a signature model of his Jazz - just because it was a Gibson product replacement pup? As Dave once rightfully said, his bass playing and that "Mazz" (mud & Jazz) sound drove all those early Grand Funk Railroad recordings.
GF(R) aren't even in the RRHF, right? That is a crime. They were among the truest of American bands - and not just because of a song title. Hugely underrated outfit.
I've even known *really good* guitarists whose timing and/or phrasing sounds terrible on bass.
Even if they can credibly double the bass part on guitar.
There's something non-obvious that just doesn't always translate across the instruments, it takes some dedication to actually be able to play both well.
