PTB Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Re Memphis Soul Stew, I believe Tommy did the studio version & Jerry did the famous King Curtis live version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 [size=4][color=#222222][font=Arial]Apparently TC mostly recorded with a 59 P bass, and for a time the studio bass amp was a Fender Twin Reverb with one speaker missing. They miked the remaining speaker and mixed it with a DI. But It's TC's laid back feel that gets me every time.[/font][/color] [color=#222222][font=Arial]For me he was active in THE golden age of music.[/font][/color] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
