Perhaps you could have got in early with that on page one.

.. and if I was playing for Mancini and he wanted to call it 'NC' then so be it but it's still the same notes

Surely that ought to be Esus4(b5)/A?

I just named it. I don't at all imagine I am the first.

Asus(flat2) ... maybe. Do I win?

Watching a second time, I feel more disturbed by the hair than the miming.

Perhaps the band never played on the recording so they didn't actually know how to mime to it ... or simply couldn't be bothered. Anyway, back in those days many rockers thought it pretentious actually to mime, so better to take the fosters.

A very tasty five note chord.

It seems to be the case that there is, rightly or wrongly, some disputation as to whether a two note dyad constitues a chord in the fullest sense. But if the musical director said 'I would like a two note chord played there please, C-G, if you don't mind', I wouldn't question his use of the word chord. I'd just play the notes.

Some people did feel that way about it.

First edition of Harmonielehre 1911, I believe. Schoenberg, of course, was confident enough to take liberties with traditional harmony.

Oops!

And Led Zeppelin had their own methods for sampling other people's work.

Almost always, probably really always, my bass lines are things I have 'sampled', 'recycled', 're-used', 'heard before', 'reinterpreted', etc., and sometimes I don't even know where they came from, but they came from somewhere. And musicians have always copied, always sampled ... it's only the copying technology changing that allows new forms of sampling.

Not again, please.

Agreed ... and anyway more sustain equals more muting becomes necessary.

I've got that one ... I'm planning to refinish it in camoflage colours.

Early Cream is Jack Bruce on Bass VI, Soft Machine had Roy Babbington on Bass VI, early Hollies Eric Haydock bass VI etc etc .... https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/283789-anyone-gig-with-just-a-fender-vi-bass/ https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/207055-fender-pawnshop-bass-vi-good-for-indie/

I should probably add that I meant no criticism of you and I did know it was tongue-in-cheek.
