I remember marvelling at the bass on the album. A few years ago I was double amazed when I learned that it was the singer who played the bass and I saw a video of them doing Move on perfectly.
I am genuinely shocked to have just read this. I was looking for Dave on the site as I just messaged him as I sold him a Spector bass a few years ago and
wanted to know how he was getting on with it.
I put in a search and found this thread.
I met him when we did the deal and what a nice, decent guy. I am gutted. 😢
AI concerns me because sometimes its hard to know if something is real.
Im unsure if this has been mentioned but there's a guy on Youtube who goes into this.
I used to know a band that regularly played up here. The drummer had a tiny bass drum, a snare and a hi hat, with one tom. That was all, and he was excellent.
We played at a 40th party a good few years ago. It was in a barn out in the country and the electrics were pretty dodgy.
My Ampeg SVT 2 valve amp kept cutting out. I would play for thirty seconds and it would stop for about ten or twenty seconds and so on.
I was also the singer so it was really off putting.
We took a break and a number of people approached us and said how great it was.
I couldn't believe it. I realised then that drunk people just need a beat and a recognisable melody and they are happy.
It didn't matter to them that the bass was cutting in and out.
