The St. John shape guitar, vaguely Jaguaresque would make a nice bass.

The pit band unseen orchestra No names Bland band 42nd Street band Les Mis

Twelfth Street blues - Fletcher Henderson

The Kramer with aluminium neck and headstock you could use as bottle opener!

Bridge over troubled waters - Simon & Garfunkel

Homeward bound - Simon & Garfunkel

I don’t like correcting fellow bassists, but Diamonds was played on a Fender VI bass tuned the normal way E to E. although some early footage it looks like his had 2 pickups rather than the usual 3 , but later he was using the normal one.

My name is Jack - Manfred Mann

Blue moon of Kentucky - Bill Monroe

I think they’re selling it because it doesn’t really work. The video is very odd.

Proud Mary - Credence Clearwater Revival

Black cycling mitts which leave the tips of the fingers protruding. Available for as little as £3 on line.

I feel free - Cream

Bend me shape me - Amen Corner & others

I wanna hold your hand ( Beatles)

+1 for La Bella LTs. I do use roundwounds as well and currently have d’Addario on and low B is fine.

Eb and G, curiously seem to go together quite nicely. Might try using them.

I’ll quickly put this right. Here she ie playing her more familiar bass (although not the Fender P with the lump of foam under the strings). Played on more hits that most of us have had hot dinners. Just listen to God Only Knows, superb phrasing.

Recently found this amazing performance on YouTube. Joni Mitchell, who’s guitar work is pretty good, with Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius and Michael Brecker on sax thrown in for good measure. Jaco has a solo spot at around 24, but it’s his accompanying playing that I think is so good. He seems to be using a fretted jazz on track 1 before switching to the more familiar fretless. Enjoy.

Definitely NO. Good way to give yourself arthritis or RSI 👎

Lock him up immediately in Broadmoor.

Teeth - Lady Gaga

Killing me softly?

I think Steve Swallow’s Citron may be a contender too.

But can you get a good P sound, you know the one like Duck’s or Jamerson’s. Wasn’t that the point of specifying a PJ mix? Work on it!
