I knew it wouldn’t take long for this suggestion!

It looks like the Yamaha cab is being mic’ed with an SM57, which would suggest it’s being used for Gilmour’s guitar?

That’s interesting! I would have thought that, as a session player, he’d be open to using flats for certain gigs. I’m in a dilemma myself as I’ve just got a P bass and am torn between using the rounds or my Thomastik flats 🤔

Does anyone have any insight into Guy Pratt’s bass tone in the first of the three barn jams with David Gilmour? Obviously he’s using a Precision bass, but I’m wondering whether he’s gone for rounds (with tone rolled off) or flats? It has a lot of depth and fatness without sounding at all brittle.

I recently purchased a 1995 Japanese Fender Jazz - a ‘62 reissue with dark cherry foto flame finish. It’s one of the smoothest necks I’ve played and it sounds wonderful with a set of Thomastiks! However, the foto flame finish is very cracked and starting to peel away in some areas. I’m considering having it taken back to the wood and resprayed in a period accurate colour. I’m on the fence between Fiesta Red, Shell Pink or Black - all with a tortoiseshell scratch plate. Also considering a nitro, rather than poly, finish. Good idea? Any opinions on colour? There’s always the option to keep the foto flame…
