jimwin Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Not sure about a P - but played a Les Paul bass on sorrow - looked horrible but sounded great! Quote
skywalker Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Excellent on Later Live last night. Quote
whynot Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Jumped on a last minute ticket for Albert Hall last Friday. £50 restricted view from side of stage at almost stage level. Great unrestricted view of the whole band including floor pedal action. Amazing. Guy P got through several basses, Jazz, P, including a Gibson and Lakland I thought (could be wrong). Whole band sounded amazing. Quote
mep Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 +1 Great basslines and I could hear him really well through the TV speakers. Quote
LewisK1975 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 [quote name='skywalker' timestamp='1443611336' post='2876152'] Excellent on Later Live last night. [/quote] Yeah I posted on facebook last night that he was sounding great and got a 'like' from Mark Gooday. Which was cool. Quote
TrevorR Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 A chum went to see them the other night and said it was amazing. I asked him who was playing second guitar, Tim Renwick? He said, "No some other bloke, didn't recognise the name." Clearly not a Roxy Music fan then, my mate! Quote
ezbass Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Just watched the performance on Later. I liked both tracks and thought they were very un-Floyd like, in fact I thought they were decidedly Roxy Music in flavour. Guy Pratt sounded great. Quote
spectoremg Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I'm in shock, Gilmour's put some new stuff out that I like! And Guy's Jazz sounded lovely. Quote

[/quote] +1 yes I really enjoyed it & fully agree with you,very Roxy sounding,I may have to buy the album. Guy is a great player for sure & he always looks like he's enjoying himself too.

I presume he's still using Elites on his fretted basses but anyone know what strings he uses on the fretless? Quote
dmccombe7 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I think the new album is the best since the first one. The other albums I found a bit boring and couldn't really get into. Quote
Marvin Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 The performance on Later really impressed me, I'm going to have to have a listen to the new album. Quote
KevB Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Still not got round to watching the Later I recorded on Friday! Quote
LemonCello Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Caught them on the half hour Jools. Something about 'locks'? thought that track was meh. Quote
Woodinblack Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Slightly different view here. I thought (as usual for Jools groups) the group was dull and the songs generic and instantly forgettable (in fact, I have forgotten them). The only reason they won't be forgotten instantly is that Dave Gilmour is in the group. However, I very much liked and was impressed by the bass playing, so it was like a good bass exercise on a generic backing track. Quote
Davo-London Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Gilmour's bassist and drummer are exceptional. I agree that the tracks on Jools were so-so. Nevertheless, you can't get bored with Gilmour - he is a master. Davo Quote
JapanAxe Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Just listened to 2 songs from the show. The bass playing was most excellent. Quote
ivansc Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Regarding Dick Parry: I`m in my seventies & so is Dick. There are limits to how long you can stay at the top of your game and have the same level of energy. 3 45`s and I am knackered these days. (grin) Quote

Am I seeing things but is the string spacing uneven? (A to D). Quote
Davo-London Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Yes I agree - I noticed that. OMG it doesn't seem to bother him. I'd be surprised if it is intentional though. It may also be recorded at a slight angle and that along with the strings following the neck curvature may equate to what looks like a bigger gap between A and D. His playing is effortless.
