Dom in Dorset Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I Thought he was strictly a P bass man , wikipedia says he aslo played Music Man , this looks like a telecaster bass: It's a long clip, none-Tull fans can just skip the first five minutes: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toHlMD50eYY[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merello Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Looks like a 51P bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I think in the 70s that would have been a Telecaster bass. By that time the P bass we know today was well established and the Telecaster bass would have been a way to satisfy those who wanted the original design of the Precision.

RhysP Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Brilliant stuff - the best line up of Tull ever IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Alsatian Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Around the 6 minute mark, you can just about make out the single-coil P-pickup beneath the scratchplate, so it looks a 50s Precision. You'd easily be able to see the Tele bass pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I think his recordings on the 'Songs From The Wood' album were done with a Music Man - not sure if Sting Ray or Sterling though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I could be wrong here but from my Tull days I seem to recall that John Glasscock didn`t play this gig. He was unwell or something and I think the guy who played bass was Tony Williams. Got it! Here`s a link to the guy.

BassBus Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1326058862' post='1491827'] I go with a 51 P At the very end you can see a shot, it doesn't have the big Pickguard of the 70's telebass. [/quote] Having looked at some other pics I think you are probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Not all telecaster basses have the big pickguard, only the later ones. The late 60's tele basses look exactly like the first precision basses.

The gig is in Blackburn on 20 April so not concerned yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
