Eight Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I've listened to a few recordings of Johnny Cash singing Big River, and I can't actually make out anything resembling a bass line. I know there is one... (and I'll probably either go with a stock Root-5 thing or follow the Highwaymen's version)... but thought I'd post on the off-chance someone has better equipment and some clue what is actually being played. Cheers if you can help. Cheers anyway if you read this and thought about it. No cheers if you didn't read it - it had Johnny Cash in the topic title, what more do you want!?!?! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Just had a listen here, and like virtually all JC's stuff, it's R5 all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eight Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 That's great - you've come to my rescue again. Thanks mate! I love Cash - only one bassline to learn to cover the entire back catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bass Doc Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) When I'm due some money I much prefer it be Johnny Cash rather than Jeff Beck. (sometimes the bass player is just going R.R. rather than R5). Edited April 5, 2011 by The Bass Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
