I have been listening so some old 60's stuff today, and have come to the conclusion that some bass parts have been added as an afterthought. They don't go anywhere or add anything to the song and seem superfluous in some cases. These two spring to mind.

Nigel Harrison with Blondie in the 70,s when Debbie Harry still had her looks. He always seemed to have a whale of a time, jumping up and down while playing his Fender P.

Well, this thread has certainly cheered me up!!

Just a Boss ODB3 used [b][u]very [/u][/b]subtly. And then only on a few songs.

All we need now is for B R X to get a nice P bass. and stop mucking about with those silly pointy basses!!

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1357238986' post='1919696'] Being repeatedly kicked in the trousers is far better than the old Bass Cellar. I've also always had good service from Wunjos, Denmark Street is becoming worth a visit again. [/quote] Ah! That's what I was thinking of - not Andys. Apple ogies to the OP [quote][/quote]

Basschat shop.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1357252203' post='1920021'] Fender US Precision [/quote] This^ The first and best!

The price has gone up now, from £15 to £17, plus booking fee puts it nearly £20! I should have got mine earlier.

It was Andys wasn't it? There, I,ve said it for you, and on here in public. Let them sue me!

What was the shop that ignored you?

Anyone play the compulsary cheesy classics last night?[list] [*]Hi Ho Silver Lining [*]Sweet Caroline [*]Dance The Night Away [*]Achey Brakey Heart [*]Shake Rattle & Roll [*]Mustang Sally [*]Brown Eyed Girl [/list] I actually played two songs which I never played before. My Way and Fly Me To The Moon. Excellent songs for on the spot bluffing!!

I was also on the A12 in Essex, in Rayleigh, a bit of a trek from Harrow, but a great night with some cheesy classics thrown in!!

Yes I agree, Bruce Foxton is the main reason I took up bass. His playing on the setting sons album is amazing!!

And one more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jESRQDzqVdc

How many bassists use the same line (or a variation of it) on more than one song? The jams Bruce Foxton has used this pattern in three songs. See if you can spot them. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwqwkFAci-U[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI8AOkbfgNE[/media]

I,ve got a rucksuck full of cables and assorted gubbins. The most important thing being a holder that clips to my mike stand that I keep my pint in!!

Apart from the re finish, it looks in good nick. I presume its all original too!

The Beatles - Eight Days A Week, with a lovely walking bass by Macca. Funny, I always thought this was a single!

I cant play if the action is too low, plus you lose some volume too. I play quite hard so I like it a bit on the high side (about 4mm) However, the opposite is true on my Telecaster which is set quite low indeed!

SD SPB3 pickups I believe. Maybe it was converted to active in a previous life which resulted in the jack socket being moved so as to free up more space under the pickguard for all the extra gubbins??

The Pretenders - Kid Just C Am F G with a subtle Key change to E Walking bass heaven for me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyCbkI9EgEA

Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas I think i,ll get my Phil Spector Xmas album out, which is rather ironic seeing as Phil Spectors not getting out!!
