Post a random bass guitar thought...

[Droombolus]

Here's a related thought ........ Just read in Mojo's Elektra's 60th anniversary issue that Paul Rothchild had a bassplayer overdub Manzarek's bass-lines on 3 tracks ( which was news to me   ) of their 1st album including Light My Fire, that's the song Ol' Ray claimed couldn't possibly be played by a bass-guitarist ......    Yes my friends, we rock !

Doug Lubahn of Clear Light?

Roxy Music is another band that never had a bass player as a member proper, yet always inventive bass lines upfront in the mix. As if they were trying to over-compensate for their embarrassing lack of a bass player in their ranks. Apparently, all the myriad Roxy bass players had the freedom to play what they wanted. John Gustafson, who played on Stranded, Country Life and Siren, even had an offer to join (and refused, silly boy!).

Nope, according to the article it's Larry Knechtel

Hey, once you've been a part of The Big Three any other band does look kinda inferior, doesn't it ........

A Longhorn through a Silverface Deluxe Reverb is really, really obnoxious!

New years resolution - I really must brave it and get down the shed...

I wanna post a thought, but if I have to strain to come up with anything remotely relevant is it then really a random bass thought? I must just want the distraction from other things in my life of posting here where its safe I guess.

Outcome!     =  I wish my BaCHbird was back from the shop so I could play it.

I've got the framework together for a new instrumental composed BASS-ically of 3 riffs like my TigerShark track MegaYang Mindbender Riffage.
Like the 3rd riff in MegaYang, the 3rd riff in the as yet untitled new one is composed of 26 notes.
I'm developing my own style!
The first riff of the new boogie is very Tull-esque & the 2nd riff is very YES style.
The core of the piece wil be PURE TigerShark tho!!!
Then back to the YES riff & the Tull riff will end it. It's a 4-5 & it's reminiscent of Living In The Past, appropriately...that's something you do more often in your 50s I'm finding out. 

I call this one Ear Candy cuz the Main Riff is the chewy center & the other style riffs are just coatings.

Whatcha having done to it?

Whatcha having done to it?

Mine is the Dark Honeyburst (is that just another description of Tobacco burst?)

Belly cut, White nut, Black Headstock, Gotoh Res-O-Lite "Reverse Wind" vintage style tuners and a few other little things *edit* like Gold hat knobs, Switchcraft jack, I have some CTS 500k pots but I'm going to try a set of Gotoh pots that I bought with the tuners. . I could also try the set of Gibson 300k pots if I get curious enough. I will be buying a pair of Lull pups down the track. Pick guard is already done. Although I can now see that I will need a new one when I put the Lulls in due to the rounded corners.

Waiting for the pics...

Could be a while Ken. I've told Brian to put it on slow burn. I still need to get some photo's of original NR's to him. I'm missing it already. The Lulls will have to sound great because I'm already very impressed with the Artecs.

  I'd say hang on tight Bret, they blow Artecs away - I'll be swapping out the Gibsons in my '89 later this year with Lulls.

lull's are tremendous.  Night and day with the artecs.
