  1. If I had wall space to hang things on, I'd have it as a wall-hanger.
  2. My Old Man's a Dustman?
  3. I do quite like it; have to give it a bit more of a workout.
  4. Maybe that's what it is - a tension-adjustable broad-position thumb rest. Inspired! 🙂
  5. Annoyingly, I noticed that the SansAmp VT Bass pedal seems to affect the sound even when it's off. Whilst I could put in a bypass switcher to take it out of circuit, that's then using up more space, so it looks like it's "no" for that one.
  6. Just a couple of toothpicks should do the job.
  7. I’ve rejigged my pedalboard and it’s got my VT Bass, Agro, and Soul Food on it. Plus the Microbass 3’s distortion channel.
  8. I didn’t say you could use the plec! 🙂

  11. "Well known", right... Yep - I'm looking, but not sure what I'm seeing...
  12. didn't know I was arguing,,, big willy,,, "Beat It" was about the closest jacko got to metal.
  13. I could never like Jaco, because he didn't play metal!
  14. Crikey - a case of a beraved wallet. However, we've now got another fake Fender in the wild.
  15. On the prog side, though known as a pick player, Chris Squire had a percussive technique where he'd hit the note a second time with the edge of his thumb. Not exactly funkaholic, but a sideline to the development.
  16. It's difficult to tell if Fred Thomas played thumb/slap back in the day, but he certainly did later on.
  17. Nah - Proggers were post- hippies. Certainly jazz-rock (Bruford, Stanley Clark, Weather Report, Colosseum II, Chic Corea, Alphonso Johnson) was pretty far from being hippy stuff and some of it spanned into funk & disco.
  18. Aye - maybe omitted in the OP, but actually is at least as relevant as the guitar link there; based on that, I'd say that the funkers merely reinterpreted what already existed. Since the guitar angle is allowed, though, it could simply be inferred to be interpretations of Flamenco guitar playing.
  19. Hippies were 60s - long gone by the mid-70s.
  20. However, as far as earliest goes, here's something from 1954.
