Freuds_Cat Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 I saw this question asked on the Vintage Guitar and Bass forum and I thought it was an interesting one but it got very little response. I figured you chaps would be more responsive. [b]If you could ask one question to any bass player, past or present, alive or dead, what would it be? [/b] I would love to be able to ask Allen Woody about the setup he used on the Epiphone sig series bass prototype and weather he felt the mass produced instrument was close enough to the vision he had for it.

low note lee Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Jaco, why did you chuck your basses into the bay, and why the hell did you give that bouncer lip? Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Sir Paul - Why the hell did you marry that woman? Quote
Rich Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 I quite like the question on the Bass Player mag's 'Introduce Yourself' section, "what was your lightbulb moment?". I think it'd be a good one for pretty much every player. Quote

Bass_In_Yer_Face Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 "Jaco, why is it that the second you pick up a bass guitar, people try and force you to listen to you?" I DON'T GET JAZZ ALRIGHT! Quote

Road Dog Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I'd ask Mark King a question... "What on earth made you think you could make that last Level 42 album in your home studio, it sounded awful and compressed to buggery" ? Quote
