    I had a Bass VI tuned in fourths - EADGCF - for a while, but soon went back to B and E on the high strings.

    Were The Heavy Metal Kids .. er ... heavy metal kids? Just asking for a friend, obvs.

    Why Black Sabbath hated being a 'heavy metal band'

    What about the halfway house of the beat group, or, daringly, the beat combo?
  6. EssentialTension
    I had no idea of the death, due to I never heard of the band before.
  7. EssentialTension
    It is great but it's also indebted to the history of rock and roll ...

    If I were going to do that, which I never would, I'd get a luthier (or at least a guitar tech) to preprepare a bass for easy smashing. Maybe even with a few hinges so it's not really broke but just unhinged and easily folds back together like a Transformer.

    That's all very well and good luck with it, but what about the tambourine?

    ... and golf.

    Judging by the trousers, he liked a round of golf in the afternoon.

    I'd say that the problem is not the tambourine. The problem is people have no idea how to play it, but think it must be easy, which it's not.

    Jack Ashford on tambourine at 1.45 ...
  15. EssentialTension
    Lots of Motown tracks

    They were wrong wrong wrong but still never more than half a tone away from a right note.

    Play the root notes with solid timing = get hired. Over playing = get fired.

    Trust me, I have tried but it really doesn't work.
  19. EssentialTension
    Very nice, although I can't say I like the pickguard.

    My 2008 Precision American Vintage Reissue had a V serial number. You need to see the neck heel for an actual date but it looks more 2000s and very little 'original 50s'.

    I had an antique ivory one when the first batch were released three or four years ago. No neck dive and it sounded huge with EB Cobalt flats.

    A punter once told me I was too short to play bass. So, if you are 5'9" (175cm) or under, sell your gear.
  23. EssentialTension
    To me that reads as ... 6-22 '58 Just as the other pic shown reads ... 8-5 '83

    For a band that were progressive even by the standard of other prog bands, Gentle Giant surprisingly managed to retain a certain funkiness from the early Shulman days as a soul band.
  25. EssentialTension
    Very bad idea.
