greyparrot Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Playing bass in the style of Jerry Scheff. Very high energy playing this sort of thing, but its what Jerry did with Elvis. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZNHUqNw56g"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZNHUqNw56g[/url] the site below is great cos you can get backing tracks and they come with a little mixer to remove the bass or anything from them Rich.

lojo Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Ive always thought the bass playing in that live version just hits the spot I do like the look of the bass in that video also, it looks like it could also be used to fend of aliens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is a little more upto date then Jerrys fender P bass. Thing is they created such a powerful sound using basic gear that they had at the time. TCB band still rock, as does Jerry.

One question, and please dont take offence. Are you using the wrong spelling of Suspicious as some sort of play on words?

[/quote] Yeah, mate, Jerry is an amazing player, i recently saw the tcb band, but nathan east was on bass as Jerry done his wrist, but hes back on form. Of course Ronnie tutt is i think the best drummer in the world. His music was so powerful for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this doesn't mean the dreaded GAS is on its way again lol. Edited October 25, 2010 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U get great audio this way, and not too expensive. The camcorder was £90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it does sound pretty good. I still think they are a required taste as far as looks go, but no denying they have a massive tone.

That was that really, and now the shape has grown on me big time. Its very alien like! Now the big al i really dont like the look of but once again i heard they sound amazing. But this time i will keep walking right by it. Cant afford another one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
