Holiday - Madonna

Andy Summers, The Edge, Johnny Marr, etc, all do something different from the shredders, which I always found refreshing. Their standpoint that it’s easy (and I take issue with that) fails to take into account they did it first, at least on a world stage. It takes so much more rhythmical awareness to achieve their effects drenched sound than just widdling over the Lydian mode. It’s the equivalent of looking at a Picasso or Mondrian and saying, “I could’ve done that.” Well, you didn’t, did you?

Even without the footie kit.

Broken Wings - Mr Mister

Hole Hearted - Exteme

OK, I've thought about and I think that the guitar player in my trio would be playing an ES335 or similar. They're playing it as it is super versatile, without being overly flashy, which suits their personality. They have a smallish pedal board with a Fulldrive 2, some sort of tremolo, a delay, a swell and a compressor which they only use sparingly as an effect when required. Amp-wise that have a Brunetti or a Suhr combo. In case of string breakage/guitar failure, they have a bound body Tele Custom on a stand, ready.

Nice and very tempting. Sadly, I am the reverse when it comes to nut widths, but I have the JMJ which is great and dreams of a Wilcock Mullarkey.

One of these then... https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitars/short-scale-bass-guitars/sire-version-2-marcus-miller-u5-short-scale-alder-4-mint IIRC, they have a J nut width.

Can't Stand Losing You - The Police

You are a bad, bad man! 😂

Tom Sawyer - Rush

Strange Man Changed Man - Bram Tchaikovsky

In that case, I will assume a favourable reaction.

Near enough?

Gah! Too slow! Working Man - Rush

Lay Down - The Strawbs

Ballroom Blitz - Sweet

Brass in Pocket - The Pretenders

He was with Joe Bonamassa for quite a while IIRC. Loved his work with Bowie. DB certainly had some great bass players in his time.

Our Lips Are Sealed - Fun Boy Three

It Wasn't Me - Shaggy

Undercover Of The Night - Rolling Stones

I used to play this in a Bowie tribute (well, you just would), most enjoyable but I would never have guessed that was the original tone.

Secret World - Peter Gabriel

This Used To Be My Playground - Madge
