I caught him live a couple years back & there is pretty much nothing he can't do. I guess he does not slap though.When he did hid solos, he did them accompanied by drums, which to me, was much more song like & structured. Still he's one of the greatest bass players ever like him or not. Really unique tone he has.
Uwe I think you are right Billy would have been a good fit for The Who. Thanks for posting that video my image of Billy has been locked in the '70s/'80s !
How gullible you are, John:I still think he could have done wonders for post-JAE The Who.
I believe he did the routing on his moms kitchen table I think with a Dremel, though maybe he only used the Dremel for the scalloped fingerboard which came later. Me I used a router!
Nah. Living room job: http://www.billysheehan.com/gear/instruments_34.html...and from another interview:"It has dual output and an original Gibson EB-0 pickup from around ’72. I chiseled a hole in the body and put the pickup in it. I do know a little about woodworking, but you’d never know it by looking at that bass! And I didn’t know how to wire it, but I got the pickup in and wired each pickup separately into two outputs because I didn’t know how to wire both pickups to one."
