Any amount of versions given by all involved at the time IIRC Oh, and I'm not a massive Duran fan BTW, but I know a couple folk who are..

I found it all a bit embarassing really, very much like a sad middle aged version of Top of the Pops. Turned over and watched Prof Cox on BBC2.

urb Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I have it on very good authority that JT is now in possession of and is using two Sei 5 string Jazz basses, one is a smoky black colour - I missed this show but I'd be interested to know if that sounds like the bass he was using...

ezbass Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 He was definitely using a Peavey Cirrus 4 string for the half hour, after that I was elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krysbass Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I think JT only played 2 basses - Peavey Cirrus 4 and 5 strings. Noticed he seemed to have his bass slung much lower than back in the 80’s – has cool won out over ergonomics? Happy to admit to being massively influenced by JT’s playing – but never much into DD. Nothing against the band themselves – it just didn’t seem worth going to one of their gigs, knowing that it would be impossible to hear or see the band due to the demographics of their fanbase. I enjoyed the programme, but the ad-break after every 2 songs was a reminder of why the licence fee is a good idea.

kevin_lindsay Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hey Mike, hasn't John just got the one new Sei Bass? Martin and John made the 'grey one' after John commissioned it in December when I was down visiting them. The other 5 stringer being the one he used while recording with Mark Ronson. John wanted to buy that one originally, but the guy who's bass it was wanted to keep it, hence the reason JT was put in touch with the guys at The Gallery to order one for himself.
