Yep, he was very tasteful. I'm a big fan (as if you didn't know ). Here are a few of my faves from the 70's:
-
Great fun bassline. Here's a quick youtube vid I uploaded a while back, may help? As with anything it's about playing it over and over again and building up speed. Good luck!
-
Got some great old Schaller pins/locks from Rich. Easy, smooth transaction and fast delivery. Recommended!
-
Superb head. GLWTS! -
Nice! I like that.... -
My original influences who 'excited' me and got me to take up bass: Gene Simmons Steve Harris Phil Lynott Then joined by the following who influenced me in either sound/tone, feel, technique and/or just downright coolness! Peter Cetera Tiran Porter Dee Murray John Deacon David Paton Rutger Gunnarsson Martin Tiefensee Chuck Panozzo Joe Puerta Kip Winger Eddie Jackson Duff McKagan Rachel Bolan Chuck Wright Ross Valory Guy Pratt Geddy Lee

Same as Euro. Very playable!

(Another) New Spector Day! Arrived on Friday.... finally after a 9 month wait (partly due to Brexshit).... Spector Euro Classic 4 in solid red! Gorgeous colour and plays beautifully. Sound great through my Class D with headphones but haven't had a chance to play it at volume through a rig yet..

Nice! Welcome home

His usual recording/gigging gear at that time was Kramer Spector NS2 -> Gallien Krueger 800RB driven hard -> McAuley 2x15 cab. Most of his tone was from digging in hard on the bass and driving the GK.

Mine from Thomann has just arrived. Only played it through headphones so far.... but it sounds awesome! Love it.... particularly for a bit of grind with 'authority'
-
An accomplished bassist friend & I blind a/b'd a Super Twin against my Genz Benz Neox 2x12 with identical bass & amp set up and we were both surprised to find that we both agreed that the Genz sounded better and punchier. Saved me a lot of money in what I thought might be a potential rig upgrade.
-
I had an all maple Melody Grabber MANY years ago. Had a unique feel and sound..... wish I hadn't parted with it
-
But maybe Amy Crackhouse might have been better? I'll get me coat....
-
Dingwall and Darkglass.... You too can sound just like every other metal bassist!

My faves from the early days of tributes in the UK were: The Six Pastilles - Sex Pistols tribute The Small Fa(e)ces - Small Faces tribute who were often described as "a little bit *profanity filter*")

They don't exist anymore but my two fave names from the early days of tributes were: The Six Pastilles - Sex Pistols tribute The Small Fa(e)ces - Small Faces tribute who were often described as "a little bit sh*t"

Are you a Lebowski? Creedence or Eagles?

I like both for different reasons.... but I'd take Tom Johnston-era Doobie Brothers (with their mix of country, r'n'b and southern rock) over both of them. Almost like a melding of the two.... -
