Liam singing a long forgotten Oasis track a couple of years ago I'm hoping they play Let's All Make Believe at the reunion, that will give the beard strokers something to furrow their brows over

Something I'm going to enjoy about this reunion is how much it's going to annoy people

Jumping Someone Else's Train ~ The Cure

Very sensibly priced one has just appeared on ebay.....

As a straightforward introduction to JJ, I recently learnt Nowhere To Run, and enjoyed the experience very much copied out the dots from this video:

Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth ~ Dandy Warhols

Caught By The Fuzz ~ Supergrass

3 point neck plate?

Cold ~ The Cure (3 albums later 😁)

Tutti Frutti ~ Little Richard

The specs for the neck are the same as those for the Bruce Thomas Profile Bass: 40mm nut, 20mm to 22mm depth

Electric Barbarella ~ Duran Duran

Suffer Some ~ Jane's Addiction

The Hardest Walk ~ The Jesus and Mary Chain

I had the 9050ML set, 50-65-85-100 on briefly. Unfortunately, they were too heavy for the crippled neck on that bass, but I enjoyed them very much. I especially remember the evenness of tone across the strings, very different from the La Bellas. They also felt a lot more flexible than I had expected from the gauges. I often find E strings less tense than I like, and that was true here. Fender used to sell a 45-60-80-105 set, and I think that would have been good for me.

Wild Is The Wind ~ David Bowie

I would just need the upper horn to go another 4 frets along the neck it would be perfect for me x)

I've recently learnt Nowhere To Run and have been enjoying all Jamerson's tiny variations in the riff. A lot of bassists would happily play the same thing 32 times, but there's at least a dozen different versions of it. Lovely stuff 🥰 I copied down the notes from this transcription:

Ok different angle. When I was watching the gloomy 80s footage, I was mistaking the shape for something like this: And while Tristan in the photos I posted is a fair bit chunkier than, say, Douglas Colvin, I think the real issue was my seeing the bass that I wanted to see 😬

Like Clockwork ~ Boomtown Rats

I think in the unhelpful video I was mistaking the body curves to be more parallel with the pickguard shape, something like....

Shoplifters Of The World Unite ~ Smiths

These twenty seconds for an absolutely glorious bit of P bass tone
