beerdragon Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Those were druggy times man. he probably thought he had strings. Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Bass strings are spensive, no point grubbing them up for miming. Quote
Earbrass Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I like the comments on YouTube: Q: what is that thing on that bass at 0:07 ? A: I would imagine its something to mute the sound of the bass so its not so in-your-face. If thats what it is thats probly why the bass sounds so mellow in this song. [actually it looks like a bean-bag frog or similar, lying over the bass neck, where the strings aren't!] Quote

Great great bass sound. And Grace Slick ... I'll stop now. Quote
