A one string bass, or if you play in Metallica a no string bass is perfect or a totally unwired bass.

@NickA, I own a made to measure Leduc sixer EUB that I used a lot when playing in a jazz duet making rearranged covers of French "standards".

Marleaux Tonwerk. Richter StepAbout. TrickFish Minnow. TrickFish Trilobite. To name a selection of the best pedal preamp still available new and models that I tried.

Following! 😊

That's why I wrote Yves only needs 2 and put his versions of Teen Town and Donna Lee. But Yves Carbonne also plays a 12 strings (no octave) fretless bass, so he plays (like I do) whatever he wants or what the music needs at that moment. It's not lame to say every time someone points out a fiver, sixer or higher "Jaco only needed 4", when he's known to have played a fiver for some time: it's just silly stupid.

He used a 3 strings double bass, just like any player of the same period, definitely not a 1 string double bass. 😉 That said he played a few instruments too including guitar and violin...

80's Aria and other Japanese brands pickups were similar. 😉

Don't know if he can play Chromatic Fantasy on his 2 strings bass, but he can play Donna Lee. 😉

Don't start kidding about Mickey Rourke.

And what about your ears?

And Yves Carbonne only needed 2, see previous page. 😉

As boring as the original in a jazz way.

I ate something in Birmingham, but never knew what it was as I couldn't understand a single word of the waitress at the station. Thought I landed in Russia. 🤦🏻‍♂️

And Yves only needed two. 😎

Joe Jackson response to this is quite clear: "No requests, please!"

Almost, it's the magnetic truss rod cover, so yes under that is a MusicMan like wheel for the truss rod.

Yes, they make their own pickups.

That said Ernest Tibbs is a hell of a player, I saw him live a few times with Protocol, and when Simon Phillips starts to become tricky, he closes his eyes and starts counting, you can see it on his face...
