OK, maybe not quite so drastic. If the song calls for a pick or if I’ve made my fingers sore, I’ll use this one (recommended courtesy of Bobby Vega). If I’m not feeling my slap tone, I’ll also use a pick with a more upward motion, it’s a pretty good facsimile.

When I’m struggling with my tone using finger style, I use this pick and everything behaves.

I have some weird things going with my stomach/throat/ears. Lots of discomfort, mostly burning sensations. The stomach is well on the mend, but the throat and ears are a bit miserable to be honest. Outside of the discomfort, my tinnitus has definitely gone up a few notches and I’ve lost more top end. Seeing the audiologist on Thursday and have an MRI booked in 2 weeks time to rule out any nasties in the ENT department. It’s not been great .

Happy BC birthday to me. I’m 13 years old today. Cue grumpy teenager.

With just the beat and bass, the J is the most aurally pleasing. However, in a full mix, I reckon the ‘Ray would take the day.

Found it. It’s seems dated (it is old) but I still love the vibe both the video and the song bring to each other.

Fender finally came out with something new and totally viable and the bass playing public in the main probably thought, “Why isn’t that a P or J?” and then moaned about no new innovations. Should’ve been way more successful IMO, but I suppose the majority of punters that wanted something like the Dimension, bought something from Ernie Ball. I wonder if the reverse applied to EB’s P type, Cutlass? Nice basses you chaps have there, well done for being different.

It appears that I am now a Grand Wazoo or something similar. Do I get a prize?

I remember first hearing this on a skiing movie (Greg Stump’s Maltese Flamingo) where it played over a sequence of a guy skiing with his husky. It was a great sequence and perfectly matched to this tune.

Ah, the old over the page ‘why isn’t this working?’ angry finger, bug. A modern BC classic.

That’s a cracker, I’m just glad I’m not localish anymore or I’d be in serious trouble 🤣. GLWTS. -
Always best. I’d like to try one myself.

Ed Friedland reckons they’re a bit good.

Including by Mayer himself. It seems he has picked up on what makes a great bass line sit right in the pocket without the need for flash (often the pitfall of guitarist turned bassist). His version of Crossroads is sublime and he plays both guitar & bass on that one and there others, including a couple of tracks on Sob Rock IIRC, which seems to get better the more you listen to it. Continuum remains my favourite, followed by Battle Studies.
