Ah yes but, Bootsy’s bass had its own gravitational field roughly in equilibrium with that of the Earth’s. Thusly, and it’s a little known fact, Bootsy floated about 5mm off the stage.

Good one! The Roxy lineup was fantastic but I’d also go with Thunes simply because he became my favourite of Frank’s bassists. Also - Billy Gould from Faith No More, or on a different but equally heavy tip.., oh to be Brownmark from Prince and the Revolution. What a band, what a sound and what a spectacle, and of course playing bass for the man himself.

I might start a channel doing reaction videos to reaction videos.

Gravy!

I concur. The past 10 years of his vocals have killed the peppers for me.

The Downshift So-so Pension Plan.

Prince and the Revolution in Purple Rain. Acting not too bad but a cracking film nonetheless.

My Jazz is #410xxx which puts it at ‘73/‘74 on the serial number date checker with the pots dated early ‘74. I wish there was a way of checking what finish it left the factory with as my, rosewood necked, Jazz is white which I reckon is a refin which looked old when I got it in 1993.

ZZ Top - Rough Boy

Scott Thunes

U2 - War/Unforgettable Fire

Great band. Fantastic live. Saw them numerous times…, I think 🤔😁

Led Zeppelin - The Wanton Song

Tackhead - Class Rock

PiL - Public Image

Frank Zappa - Roxy & Elsewhere AC/DC - If You Want Blood Jimi Hendrix Experience - Live at Winterland

Prince & the Revolution - Parade

I’m often surprised with the lack of regard for Uplift Mofo Party Plan. Flea was absolutely on fire on it, indeed the whole band was peaking. And what’s not to love about the bass break in Fight Like a Brave?! Love that album.

Not jealous. At all. Nope. 🤣 I loved Gaye Bykers, still got a very worn yellow PFX T-shirt somewhere.

@Leonard Smalls I first saw them in 1990 and knew even then that I was late on the scene. I missed them by a day playing in Sheffield on the PMO tour and good lord I missed, at what would have been at the time my ultimate gig, them at the Astoria with Gaye Bykers on Acid supporting. Damnations!

Yup, it’s a favourite of mine too alongside Uplift Mofo and Bloodsugar. I prefer it to Stadium Arcadium.
