Old Bass Player magazine ad

[Boodang]

Found some old bass player (us) clippings.... anybody remember this ad?!

Getting perfect pitch wasn't as hard as achieving the facial expressions necessary I thought!

Always reminded me of a young Scott Ian (rhythm guitar and part-time white walker/zombie for Anthrax). 
 

I do hope it isn’t.

Nope. He doesn't have a mono eyebrow.

I remember this too. David L Burgh as I recall who looked a bit nerdy so they substituted him with this rocker! To my mind, he looks like he's celebrating an epic fart. Any who... you can't learn perfect pitch. Well, correction, you may have it and develop it but for most people, you don't have it and can't get it. Don't worry - pretty sure none of the Beatles had it and they won music. Also, people who do have it, can lose it in middle age. It can also be torture for people who have it as instruments aren't perfectly in tune. Relative pitch we can all develop and that is a very pragmatic skill.

Yeah, relative pitch something you can work on, perfect pitch not something I'd want to be lumbered with!

Looks more like Joey Belladonna

I like how they couldnt even make an effort to find a model who could actually play guitar (you can tell this guys has never even held one before)
