Little bit unnecessary.

Had a look at that album after you posted the JJ track. The album also has Louis Johnson on. Not a bad bass line up!

Fantastic Negrito Britney Howard (Alabama Shakes) Both have roots in the Blues but are by no means Blues albums.

So, having slightly hijacked this thread with an Ian Dury lyric love in, @miles'tone is this the same bass a few years earlier when NWR was in Glencoe?

Me too, but thought the profanity filter wouldn't like it! Van Gogh did some eyeball pleasers. He must have been a pencil squeezer. He didn't do the Mona Lisa, That was an Italian geezer.

Don't forget the B side (or double A as I believe it was) for some of the finest rhyming couplets to ever grace a pop song!

Just remembered the acid test...has to be written in an attic 😎

This. How on earth can we be having this NWOCR thing happening - Classic surely gives an idea of age, so new music cannot be instantly classed as such?

Several threads on here extolling their virtues - great place.

That's what is so great about sharing music on here. Couldn't get through more than a few bars of the first one, but then check out the second one and I love it!

But then he doesn't play it! Great performance though.

Tell her where gut strings come from - that'll send her back to the airing cupboard 😏

Surprised the roadcrew didn't do the same with this one. Get in up long, narrow gangway, then of course, get out was at low tide, so all the way up once again.

Water Rats Kings Cross. Red Route, ULEZ, parking meters that charge more for vans, and having to get the gear back through the pub which starts getting busy late at night when the gig is over. Did hear a very funny story about getting a hammond b3 on and off the Renfrew Ferry 😮

Put me down for a Clown Whore please 😁

Happy to say my Nordstrand P5 pickup seems to work well enough.

Live in New Orleans was our go to album in the record shop I worked in. On Sunday morning if we hadn't sold something in the first hour this would go on - absolute certainty that someone would come up, ask what we were playing and shell out full price for a double album!

Bit tenuous but...

Lovely. And all credit to his songwriting - everything he wrote has a lovely feel.

Gulp!!

Just sold a pickup to Aidan. Lovely easy sale, great guy to deal with, thanks.

I must admit, my muscle memory is pretty much rooted in 5 string, but I have played very little on the 4 so far. Had to think a lot harder, but it was the physical effort that I think is going to be the longer term proble. Thanks for the insight though.

So am I correct in reading this as you are more comfortable with the low E being your second string in? Perhaps I should go BEAD as even in this new project (as I don't go particularly high on any of the songs).

Thanks @therealting - so either depth or width should compensate. Better get out there and try a few necks as this skinny Jazz one isn't going to be right for me I feel.

I've just started playing four string in a project - an all US parts built P bass with a Jazz neck, and am wondering if I should swap to a Precision neck as I found after about four songs my left hand was tiring. The five string I have is a fretless with a Jazz profile, so I like the shallow but wide feel. Would a deeper )P style) profile help compensate for the lack of width of the four string neck? Thanks. Mike.
