Steely Dan,hated em back in the 70s,i thought this Donald Fagan Fella who told him he could sing,altogether different now i love them,in part i think that's Down to You Tube and being able to hear stuff one wouldn't dream of listening to back then as it costs money,they had very little Radio play back Int Daay.

This has been in my head for 42 years,well ever since Sheffield city Hall 1980.

?Anyone got one,and if so whats the sound like with a Bass Guitar.

When i was DJing in the early eighties,if the floor was dead and you felt the need to liven things up a tad,You're the one for me by D Train never failed to hit the spot,one of the funkiest Jazz Funk records or all time,the others weren't to bad either i might add.

Eal Pie Island Twickenham iconic venue that must have been back in the 60s https://www.greatdays.co.uk/tour/eel-pie-musical-highs/

?What Pups are in the Bass Marc,it's a real looker i must admit.

Thank you bud,much appreciated.

Iv'e looked but can't find any.

Sublime Bass tone,are the words i would use.

That's a semi hollow bass so obviously will be lighter,the SR500 has a solid mahogany body,but is still lighter than most basses.

Phantom power is used to power Microphones in general,Phantom Power is a term given to the process of delivering DC (Direct Current) to microphones requiring electric power to drive active circuitry. Condenser microphones such as Shure's KSM range all have active circuitry and require phantom power.

Because he acquired them for basically nothing ,curtesy of the record company.

Precisely

You need to Dremmel the nut off ,and then replace both.

Either one maybe but he wasn't the first player in history to disrespect his instrument.

I concur totally ,he was something else,nothing fancy ,just got his head down and played the damn thing,one of the reasons i took up the Bass Guitar all those years ago.

That the one buddy,his quote was... "I'd chucked my basses around before and didn't have any respect for them in the first place. The moment I got a new bass I'd get a hammer and start bashing it around." - Paul Simonon. i saw the clash back in Derby(Kings Hall) in 1978 , i stood about 20 feet away from Paul,and everyone thought ,whats going on with Pauls bass it looks totally wrecked,and remember this was before Road Worn came into fashion,having delved into Pauls early bass exploits ,i now understand why.The lad was a great Player though,even if he had no respects for his instruments.

Paul Simonon.

Man boobs😂

Thinking back maybe i shoulda stuck with the Geetar, as i have short stubby sausage fingers.😁

Depends on how good your Tats are.

This tune by this great band and a great album.

Like no doubt many Bass Players before me have labelled this tune as one of the greatest Bass lines ever written, I myself have tried nail this tune down for yonks, but never quite got the sound.? So a quickie for you, I know that a lot of what Freddie's sound was about was his fingers, but I was just thinking what strings he may have been using.
