    Don't get no funkier than this IMHO. The riff that David Dyson plays at around 3.40 is something I've shamelessly nicked and shoehorned into anything requiring some funk.

    Avant garde jazzer?
  3. Japhet
    Yes.

    I'm incapable of following the recipe but don't get any complaints with what I dish up as long as it's greasy spoon. Anyone who thinks the ingredients are wrong can eff off and pay £75 for a 2oz. steak with a green bean balanced on it.

    Love this bass line by Anthony Jackson. Also like this bloke's covers which are very accurate and easy to hear.

    Always loved Willie Weeks sound on all of this album;

    Glorious amp. I use a Weber Mywatt 200 which is a copy of this Hiwatt. Mine has KT88 tubes which I think sound gorgeous, particulary when the bright and dark inputs are linked. All very subjective though and I'm sure the EL34s sound great too. GLWTS.

    I'm not like other harmonica players and I won't play all over everything for the entire gig.

    I found learning about the modes very useful at this stage. It shows how a different chord fits over each individual note in the major scale.

    I stand corrected. What do you think my favorite colour should be?😉

    Anything by Mick Karn playing a Wal.

    Always loved Lee Sklar. Unfortunately, the stuff he did with Phil Collins is about the bottom of the barrel of his superb career for me.

    Was meant to be seeing them tonight. Gutted!!

    Have been going through my Youtube faavorites and this popped up. Absolutely love it. Seriously underrated band and Ian Thornley is not only a great guitarist but also has a fabulous voice IMO.

    When they mimed Maggie May on Top of the Pops, they didn't bother getting the mandolin player to come to the shoot, but instead got John Peel to pretend he was playing the thing.

    I've got the Squier version with the normal Tele headstock and 2 humbuckers. Absolutely wicked little thing.

    He wanted to re-record it but Bowie wouldn't let him.

    One of the greats. Sad day.

    Can't be bothered with the turgid rubbish I'm supposed to be learning for the band, so for now I'm amusing myself noodling around with Dune Tune.

    If you look straight at the pickups and ignore all the other stuff going on, it looks like a snap shot of an endoscopy.

    My taste is 'the plainer the better' (apart from natural finishes which I don't like much). Conversely, I don't like anything 'flash' at all. Flamboyant body shapes and glitzy paint, gold hardware, exotic woods with elaborate grain patterns, multiple pickups, too many control knobs and switches are all red flags for me. At the other end of the scale, I don't like relic finishes. It's all fake and trying to be something it's not. I could tie my bass to the back bumper of my car or bury it in the garden for a week but what's the point?
  23. Japhet
    I don't like red - but then I don't like red anything (cars, clothes, guitars etc). Also relicing.
  24. Japhet
    I'll give a shout to Jimmy Dewar (Robin Trower) as a bass player with a fabulous voice as well. Also Tommy Shannon and Noel Redding.

    At the more modern end of the spectrum, I'd add Roscoe Beck as an example of how things evolve.
