  1. Go Listen to Diana Ross and “ain’t no mountain high enough” and all/some of the other Motown and stax hits and tell me that they’re not influential enough to have had an effect on people you do recognise
  2. Rutger was a very modest man, I doubt he’d lay claim to every bass recording in the world, ever
  3. Im Not sure why any of those Motown players are listed since carol kaye recorded all of it. No question.
  4. Definite red-fade - Black doubtless looked normal when first done and for years after
  5. I get the same feeling with old basses that I do when touching old furniture. The weight of history and the lightness of touch by all the humans that have owned it. doesn’t mean that chest of drawers is innately better made than one from furnitureland or more sturdy somehow
  6. Agree the red was sprayed last, over some of the black so it does look artificially wide when red fades @Turbineclimber

  8. I have actually done that on a jazz bass. You’re being me again aren’t you ? now I need to think of another reason not to buy one 🤔
  9. They are three way; series /parallel /single coil on the original RB if it had blocks I might be tempted
  10. What site are you posting on ? Get with the program … I fixed it for you
  11. The one I saw him demonstrate on a video was sunburst
  12. You’re on a mission from God (aka mr jamerson) - those are earthly concerns
  13. That’s an awesome book i agree, Duck Dunn and Bob Babbitt alongside in the midnight hour ain’t no mountain high enough tears of a clown or the track listing of either” the committments” cd
  14. If you listen to “love comes tumbling” and “bad” I think he’s actually a better musician than people think

    NPGD!!

    Those ah … um … brave and convention-defying
  16. You may have confused us with drummers?
  17. Judging by his use of $ I suspect shipping may be a little expensive
  18. I don’t think mousemat foam is hugely different from what went before.
  19. I said “no” when I read the title. Too many strings, too weedy
  20. isn’t it ? Oh .. 😥 I thought y’all lived in castles on the edge of a loch and wore kilts 24:7 whilst listening to del amitri (good bass btw)
  21. You’re being me again, stop Being in my (neep) head. I really must go and buy some petticoat shortbread … 😛
  22. When I saw adam Clayton at live aid being uber cool with a green jazz bass. That led me to “under a blood red sky” I was asked to play a guitar at an online music night. They had sniffed at bass, I told them I played guitar less well than horses do. Click “leave”…
