lowdown

Was never a Who Fanboi, but for me Entwistle & Moon kind of blossomed on 'Who's Next' Both sound wise and in Musical maturity. In fact the whole album did. The isolated Bass track might not be his best moment, but hard to tell what's going on with the rest of the band not in ear shot. Might all be moving about together and not sounding 'Sloppy'.[or sloppy together] Townsend sure was an interesting writer with plenty of 'Out of the box' ideas. Garry

Some great stuff posted in this thread. Carles Benavent is Bassist i like to listen to a lot. His Fretless playing is sublime. A nice track here with Josemi Carmona.

Good stuff, and glad you got the video working. Garry

Please, someone follow this up - i did a European tour with a Circus many years ago which was a great experience. This chance would be great fun, a great play, and you will end up with chops like super man. Go for it. I have just linked your post to my Facebook account , i know a few guys who might be up for this. Garry

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1335050692' post='1625313'] He certainly would. He's dead. [/quote] He just faked his own death, so he could start a heavy Blues band [now in Bath] Garry

Indeed, even Jacques Cousteau might have a problem getting to the bottom of this one. Garry

I missed that - thanks for posting. Garry

When getting excited Jaco would often really dig into the strings, causing really hard note attack. I did see Jaco once, when he used a volume pedal for Upright type Legato [< >] and he often used the volume control[s] on his Bass for this. With a typical gig set up Bass, you could only really use a Bow on Electric with any kind of articulated success, if you were just bowing on the E and G string [four string] And this would have to be somewhere towards the head stock end, the horns and body would be in the way. Because there is no serious bridge arch on Electric, it would be [and is for me] nearly impossible on the inner A & D strings. More than likely some clever geezer/geezeress on Youtube to prove me wrong though. Garry

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1334829994' post='1621883'] Gabriel Roth of Daptone Records uses ONE mic, thus: Obviously in this case placement is fairly critical! [/quote] And the test tube with blood in it helps as well. Garry
