I was watching an Art of Guitar YouTube video about mistakes in recordings, today. Stuff like "Cannonball" by the Breeders. A lot of bands these days would have removed the incorrect slide up on the bass at the beginning, for example.

Is that bass at the start of Cannonball a mistake, really? 

I Love My Dog - Cat Stevens

It's not a Bass Balls, they gurgle. If you listen at :30 you can hear a uniform phase or flange effect - a Bass Balls would respond to each note.

It's Hard - The Who

Lily of the Valley - Queen

All I can think of...

Candlelight  - Wishbone Ash

The bass sound on Leeds is great. I also like the way bass sounds in the mix on Quadrophenia, although I think it’s horrible in isolation and was a complete shock when I heard The Real Me with the Ox front and centre and everyone else dropped right back.

I think the Quadrophenia bass tone is absolutely beautiful. I'd love to hear an isolated track. There's an awful isolated Real Me on YouTube but it sounds like one of those dodgy ones where the individual tracks have been picked out by computer rather than the actual track, it's extremely poor quality and not what we hear on the album.

Mind you, the mix on Quadrophenia is so biased toward the bass (at least on the vinyl) that there isn't that much mystery as to what he sounds like.

Pinch - Can

The Winkle - Arthur Askey

The World’s My Oyster Soup Kitchen Floor Wax Museum - King Crimson

Was he gigging a T’bird in ‘71? 

Only ask as he makes a point in the video of recording Who’s Next with the iconic Precision. 😀

He'd started using the Non-Reverse Thunderbirds at the Young Vic when they were workshopping the Lifehouse shows. That was before Who's Next was recorded. He still recorded Who's Next with Frankenstein.

I think John's memory was tricking him, Who's Next sounds totally like a Thunderbird to me. He might have used Frankenstein for some of it, but I can't think where. Maybe on WGFA as the recording quality isn't as good as the rest of the album, he could be playing anything... although on the other New York sessions of the time it still sounds like a Thunderbird to me.

Listen to this - a Thunderbird without a doubt (ignore the pic! 😆)

1971 would be Thunderbirds and Hiwatts from John?

Probably Thunderbirds and Sunn by then.
