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

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! 😆)

Probably Thunderbirds and Sunn by then.

Heroes - Bowie

The Physicist version I hope 😆 House Of The King - Focus

Home - Jethro Tull

No No No - Deep Purple

Everything Must Go - Manic Street Preachers

Magnificent band. Should have been huge.

John is that he always had an extremely dry sense of humour and rarely seemed entirely at ease in interviews, although if you see clips of him talking in the 70s he seems a lot more relaxed and easy-going. By this time his hearing was seriously impaired and having read his biography it seems he found situations like this quite hard work and could appear a bit withdrawn. As for his playing/tone, he always has and always will be the absolute guvnor for me. As much as I adore Chris Squire, Geddy et al, they're all standing on John's shoulders. And it should be noted, he never had the one tone, at least not until his senior years. He changed his sound quite a bit.
