[quote name='Panamonte' timestamp='1336385582' post='1644671'] There's a black MIM P bass on the wall of a pub just round the corner from me which I sometimes play in. And a 50w Marshall guitar combo (also on the wall). The bass looks in perfectly good nick - wouldn't vouch for the combo. [/quote] Is that the Horse and Groom? There's a rather nice looking natural Epiphone Casino too.

[quote name='Graham56' timestamp='1336382772' post='1644607'] STOP IT! ALL OF YOU!! I'm trying to get some work done here and everytime another clip gets posted my productivity dries up to nothing.

Very nice, is that a muting system I see by the bridge?

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1336345139' post='1644412'] I'll choose How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You. [/quote] Which version?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1336347431' post='1644434'] Duck's feeling it. [/quote] He certainly is.

[quote name='mike257' timestamp='1336341089' post='1644347'] Can't believe "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is yet to make an appearance here! [/quote] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz-UvQYAmbg

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1336337154' post='1644260'] Perhaps this thread should be, 'What's your favourite Jamerson bass line'... [/quote] Well, we've got at least four bassists on here so far (five if you count Carol Kaye).

We should have this one too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-7QSMyz5rg

I'll stop now.

Hey, I don't have a favourite, I have lots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBCpcSvxYeo&

... and this one; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdqtmnd2T0U

That must have taken a lot of practice. It's shame there wasn't more effort put into playing something more musically appealing. I blame the parents.

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1336224313' post='1642753'] Busy doing what? Claiming that she played all Jamerson's lines? [/quote] ... or busy playing them?

[quote name='Gordon 'Thudmaster' May' timestamp='1336216503' post='1642589'] [b]... [/b][b]when I think the strings need changing, I buy another bass! [/b] [/quote] I've seen Carol Kaye quoted as saying she never changed strings but if she did need to then she bought another Fender Precision because she was so busy there was no time to change strings.

Terrible, in every sense.

[quote name='isteen' timestamp='1336209819' post='1642457'] ... I could hear something loose tumble around inside the bass, anyone ever experienced that before? [/quote] There's something tiny tumbling around in my upright. Fortunately, I don't often turn it upside down.
