Just read about this on the BBC. Another really influential bass player gone within a week. People tend to mostly associate The Smiths with Morrissey & Marr, but AR was such a big part of the sound too.

Two gigs in the space of a week for me! Tonight was Rich Hall in Birnam. He was both very, very funny and very clever. The second half was musical fun, with C&W as the basis; highly recommended.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

Bruce Thomas gets an awful lot of love, quite rightly, here and is always associated with the P bass. However, I just found this image, whilst searching for info on another player. Good on yer, Bruce. -
Ooh, er, Mrs!

Novel, but I understand, from those in the know, that the strap over the front of the upper, rear bout, alleviates the problem somewhat.

As a stand alone song Chris Cornell wins for me. I remember seeing Casino Royale at the cinema and being blown away by the title song and realising it was CC. My other votes (I had 3) went to the 2 OHMSS options because of the marvellous JB strings.

Today I shall play along to Babooshka as a tribute.
-
OHMSS and YOLT are very similar.

It’s John Barry at his stylistic best. I like the way David Arnold used certain JB motifs, when he took the musical reins. You Know My Name is full of JB type horn arrangements and lines.

I so want this to be wrong .

I sit corrected.

Quoting myself, I know, very déclassé. Just spoke with the man, down to just 2 these days.

Chris showing us how to break the fretless playing mold.

Nice to hear that neck pickup and judicious EQ being used, thus negating that nasal tone often associated with fretless. -
Nice to see a CAR as opposed to Fiesta Red for a change. Me like. GLWTS -
I always preferred Ted’s playing.
-
On the upside, I saw Ashbone-U-Wish many times and they were always great. Full disclosure, the members of AUW were/are good mates of mine, but that didn’t influence my opinion. The bass player, an occasional BCer, actually depped for Bob Skeat on one of the WA tours; he is a man of many T’birds.
-
I never saw them with the original line up, or with Laurie. However, I have seen the 2 versions of WA probably more than any other band. Unfortunately, I’ve always been underwhelmed.
-
It’s a shame that Ted didn’t have that same confidence in the early days. I think he had the best voice of all of them and was the ideal candidate for a front man. Things might have been very different.
