M-N-Y Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Plenty of scope here. One of my absolute faves is 'Before You Go' by Lyle Mays with a lovely bass line played by Steve Rodby; plus anything played by Freddie Washington.

Big_Stu Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) The one & only time I've been completely blown away by a bassist using a Precision was watching Gordon Rowley of Strife. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po6WITsWDK4[/media] He's the one in the middle of the pics; had the most genuine battered bass you ever saw in your life. Caught them first at Accrington Bold St Working Men's Club, where I later - as an underage drinker - caught an early Motorhead. Gordon went on to form Nightwing; then became ill & went into production, he later lost a leg & sadly died a few years ago, but he was an immense bassist & had an awesome ability & stage-presence.

M-N-Y Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Sorry but this one betrays my funk roots. Awesome bass playing though IMHO.

As I recall, they did their bit to gee up a chemically lobotomized early evening crowd, playing like they meant it. They were good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I don`t honestly think I could seperate one specific track from all of the ones I love featuring a Precision. If pushed, my warm-up track is Pump it Up by Elvis Costello, with Bruce Thomas delivering an amazing bassline, with great Precision tone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpprOGsLWUo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Sam Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 For me, this. I once spent £180 on a rack mountable Boss digital delay unit just to play this track at home.

I had a brief "chat"with their singer/guiatrist John Reid(??) for a while years ago. He said they became known for blowing away the headliners which I believed - until he said that included Slade in '78 - which just didn't happen - I was there.
