Very nice ... I have a CIJ in Fiesta Red too.

While allowing for exceptions to my rule, I'd limit any instrumental section to an absolute MAXIMUM of eight bars. And I wouln't call it a solo. And I don't mean only bass. I don't need to be reminded of the 1970s, I was there.

It seems it's maybe not a straightforward calculation anyway but also ... We filled a pub and there was lots of dancing and boozing yet when we got paid and we asked for another gig the landlord said ... 'No. I don't like you.'

The pickguard is a great colour.

If he plays in a band, he ought to know not to interfere with other people's equipment.

I'm pretty sure I have failed auditions because I queried the correctness of the chords the guitarist was playing.

Thanks, you're a gentleman.

But do you lend out the car?

Jet Harris was the first bassist I was aware of and listened to very carefully. I didnt have a bass or even a guitar but I still mimed his playing in my bedroom.

I asked my son, who I am afraid to say is more widely knowledgable about music than me, if he was familiar with Piero Piccioni. Of course he was, and then also recommended the more contemporary El Michels Affair ...

Agreed Jazz bass and flats played with a pick nearer to the neck is very much the sound of that era and that could easily be what this is but I feel I hear something else, maybe in the recording process or pre-amp. Listening again , I am more leaning towards it being an electric bass with flats and pick. Anyway, it sounds great.

Thanks for posting, I really liked it. I'd say could be double bass too.

Zemaitis A22B MF - made in Japan -

Lake Street Dive - Obviously

Is that a Zemaitis bass?

All good advice here but also don't forget that in a live situation (I mean the Dog & Duck, not a symphony orchestra) you will often get away wiht poorer intonation than you would in a recording studio. Relax.
