Collar felt is absolutely useless for use on a shed roof. Ms Twelvetrees can supply the list of appropriate felts, along with the requisite forms for felting.

 

Feltham..? I used to live very near Feltha... Oh, sorry. Felting. My mistake; as you were. :$

 

(Note to self : clean the felt out of my ears. )

Just asked Mrs S.

 

Her 10 were:

 

Paul McCartney

 

Jack Bruce

 

Charlie Mingus

 

Flea

 

Mark King

 

John Entwistle

 

Nico Bruce


Lee Sklar

 

Jaco Pastorius

 

Pino Palladino

 

 

 

Seems impressive, but fails to record such comment as:

 

"Some woman with glasses, who looks like a geek. Her name is Carol somebody" (Carol Kay)

 

"The guy with the beard in ZZ Top whose name isn't Beard, because he doesn't have a beard and he plays the drums." (Dusty Hill)

 

"The really old one in the documentary in New York, who teaches everybody." (Ron Carter)

 

"The one whose name sounds like a pizza." (John Patitucci)

 

"Him who keeps marrying thirteen year olds". (Bill Wyman)

 

"The one who looks like a Malteser." (Tony Levin)

Mrs_5 has contributed ‘that guy from Primus is the lead singer and bassist, and I know that’s quite unusual’,  ‘George Harrison - was he the bass player in the Beatles?’

 

Not looking good is it? 😄
 

After some gentle prompting we got to ‘Les Claypool’

General public?

 

Paul McCartney

Susi Quattro

Possibly Bill Wyman

Flea perhaps

........

 

err, that's it.

 

Much as bass players might dote on Jaco Pastorius (I don't), the general public would not a have clue who he was, and would probably think you were talking about the fella that shot his girlfriend through the bathroom door.

... The "Public" havent a  clue when it comes to bass...

My father didn't have a clue.

 

If it had strings he called it a banjo ... 'are you playing your banjo tonight?' he woudl say to me as I put my bass into its case.

 

If you had to blow into it he called it a trumpet ... 'it's a terrible noise when you blow in that trumpet' he would say as I learned the harmonica.

 

Name ten bass players? He couldn't name one instrument correctly. He wasn't stupid he just wasn't interested. And nonetheless he was a talented ballroom dancer.
