[quote name='BigRedX' post='95677' date='Nov 28 2007, 04:33 PM']Julian Cope from his The Teardrop Explodes days. I remember reading an interview with him where he said he was determined not to simplify the bass lines down while he was singing like so many other punk/post punk singing bass players of the time.[/quote]

I never knew JC played bass!.....makes me wonder why he roped in James Eller to play on his albums then!

there's a clip on the old Grey whistle test of The teardrop explodes doing "reward", and JC's playing a black maple neck jazz, worn high.

James Eller's great though eg. Trampoline.

also, on the gibsonbass site there's a thunderbird/firebird doubleneck Cope owns- I remember seeing his bassist playing it on TOTP.
