MTD Grendel 5 is my main bass now
neck is fantastic
comfortable and quick.

My E + 5 digits is an export model. It's a boner from 1989 so maybe that numbering system went for quite some time.

yeah he's top of the class for me
Completely Well is Completely rip yer head off and sh*t down ya neck
the live album with Aretha too , crikey.

think Soul Man transcribed it for Bassist UK back in the day

Kings of the Rodeo is one of the best American rock songs in years.

The Bass Player in the band has got better and better, clearly listens to Kim Deal, sounds like genuine rock.

good decision.

Steinberger for sure.

My Boner is very heavy but my Growler is very light

I believe it is his bass.

way better than good

best V I've ever played

I have the 35" J Pick up Czech made version
strung with flats it's my #1 gigging and go to Bass

good record.
probably prefer Horn's work on Grace Jones "Slave to the Rhythm"
but the 2 records compliment each other

+1 to that. Some of the Smiths bass lines are great examples of melodic playing, but the overall feel is what really stands out. We play What Difference Does it Make in my covers band. It's a dead simple bass line, but the feel, and how it just works for the song, is a fantastic example of a tasteful bassline really defining the song. Pulling that off live is actually harder than I expected it to be!

I think WDDIM is his best bassline

The Smiths are truly one of the great UK rock bands. Still surprised some people "don't get them".
I'd argue Marr/Morrissey have one of the strongest songbooks in music.

don't eat the yellow coloured snow is amongst the best advice I have ever received.

it's not there

he used to write a column for bass player called undervalued bass player (and their recordings)

one edition was on a player he obviously really rated

sadly that bass player did not play on that particular recording

this always struck me as hilarious despite being potentially meanspirited on my behalf.

yes good one Matt

I understand you probably wanted to fit it on one page but pedant from Aotearoa writes I like blues as 4 bars per line not 6 bars.

and bilbo's book is on NZ's version of ebay

bought the remastered / reworked Red Shoes / Sensual World this week

she really is tops. Truly one of the premier English songwriters.

I can't imagine gigging with only 1 Bass.

I like the LMB-3
good with fretless.

interesting that playing and transcribing levels are different. I guess it can show how people may prioritize their practice time.
