Henrythe8 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Gary Oldman also taught bass to Daniel Radcliffe. https://nypost.com/2014/10/28/10-things-we-learned-about-daniel-radcliffe-during-his-ama/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that bass, and what's those pickups? A modded Jazz Bass? Doesn't look like J pickups, and also both positioned closer to the neck than usual. The neck one looks like it may be a humbucker. As well, as there seems to be 2 switches, a big one and a smaller one. Pickup selector and a parallel or single coil switch for the neck humbucker?

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I believe the bass belonged to Del Palmer. It's a 70s Precision body with a 70s Jazz neck, a badass II & a bunch of other mods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Don't know if it's already been mentioned. Can't be bothered to read 4 pages back. I was surprised to learn Jason Mamoa plays bass. Of course, on him it looks like a ukulele. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did not go very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damnthatlazlo Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Two that immediately spring to mind. Bryan Adams did a tour in early 00s as part of a 3 piece where he played bass. That was a surprise. The other was when I read an interview with sheryl crow about playing and writing on bass in later years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see she's developed from her early forays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that you don't hear Noel Redding on any Jimi Hendrix recording, but that could be (and probably is) just a myth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
