For me it was both, I was fasinated with that violin looking thing. Nobody has convinced it wasn't Paul that brought the electric bass guitar to the forefront for the masses of guys my age. Blue
-
No, nobody presented the electric bass as an out front instrunent or to as many people as The Beatles Blue
-
We're all different; I can handle being unhappy. I can't handle not gigging. Blue
-
I"m 65, not a whole lot of time left. If I collapsed and fell into an inch of urine while playing a bar gig I'd be cool with it. I say, go out with a bit of dignity.😁 Blue
-
In your case your still young and probably a good time to move on to something else. I'll never have that option because playing/ gigging at the bar band level is who I am and all I'll ever be and all I want to be at this stage of the game. And BTW, I like being me. Blue
-
I'd rather be gigging and unhappy than happy and not gigging. But how could I not be gigging and happy? 😁 Blue
-
Nice commentary! However, I'm not sure The Venture were as big in the US as The Shadows were in the UK. Did The Ventures sing? Blue
-
Still, not what I would call huge, guys, come on, 70 million people had there eyes on The Beatles and that electric Hofner bass guitar. I can believe I'm the only one with this opinion on this forum. Blue
-
Not in my book and not when it comes to The Beatles. I'm not letting Q off the hook. Blue
-
I'm not budging guys sorry. These bands did not bring the electric bass into the eyes of millions of 9 & 10 year old future bass players like the The Beatles did on The Ed Sullivan Show February 9th, 1964. Blue
-
Unless your well networked nobody that's in a position to do something for you us not going to see you in a Milwaukee bar and make you an offer. Maybe back in the 70, or maybe in London. Blue
-
Not to be rude , but neither Carol or James played bass in front of a captive audience of 70 million on February 9th, 1964 with an electric bass guitar. Paul did. I didn't hear about Carol or James until years after The Beatles. I'm maintaing my position. Blue
-
Shadows were a lot bigger in the UK. Not exactly what I would consider wide use. Blue
-
Prior to The Beatles where was there electric bass guitars in wide use? Blue
-
Don't quit a gigging band until you have something better. Blue
-
I'm offended by people saying silly things that make no sense. When did anyone ever think The Beatles were fantastic Musicians? Blue
-
I doubt any of Quincys drummers had what it took to be a Beatle. It involved a lot more than drums. Blue
-
Your probably right. Blue
-
Who cares what Macca thinks. I didn't like it. Blue
-
I'm one of those die hards, maybe the biggest die hard. I did not appreciate Qs comments. Blue
-
I'm completely down on QJ right now. He picked on the wrong guys. I'm maintaing my position on principal. In my world you don't rip on The Beatles. Blue
-
Nice pic! Blue
-
Quincy can have his opinion, however his opinion goes right into my " makes no sense" box. Blue
-
No actually we have another guy over here that also blurts out controversial statements that don't make any sense. Blue
-
Good Lord Quincy. Most didn't know what an electric bass guitar was until Paul showed up. Blue
