lojo Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1322338400' post='1449695'] The one & only time I've been completely blown away by a bassist using a Precision was watching Gordon Rowley of Strife.

[/quote] Indeed anything by Jamerson- who says you have to change your strings every few months? Think I`ll keep mine for 17 yrs!!..... and never clean them. Mind you , dont think I have 17yrs left!!

[/quote] I'm not keen on Precisions , plenty of other songs but AFAIR it's the only time I've stood & watched a bassist with a Precision & gone Bloody Hell!! Not so much a matter with others of being impressed or otherwise - just "Yeah - erm - OK". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noisyjon Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Interestingly not a lot of my fave music was done on P basses!

clarkpegasus4001 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 [quote name='M-N-Y' timestamp='1322400278' post='1450313'] TM Stevens is really on form on this one from the late 70's. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tYIbLrco24[/media] [/quote] This is cool! one of my fave soul/disco tracks. Replying to an earlier post, I also watched Strife in the late 70's they were excellent. I did hear Gordon Rowley was ill but I didn't know he had passed away, how sad. Best bit of precision playing i've heard was when I watched Peter "Mars" Cowling do a short bass solo when he was in Pat Travers Band, it was 1977 at Leicester Uni.......stunning!

JTUK Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Pops Popwell..altho I think he also added a J pickup near the bridge... not that you'd hear that in too many recordings, IMO. Chuck Rainey always favour a P-bass config, IIRC...in the early days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the fortune to discuss his tone on this, and some other Fall records by e-mail a couple of years back...and it's P all the way!

paul_5 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Hmm, first ones that spring to mind are "London Calling" from the Clash, and a live version of "Zoot allures" with (I think) Scott Thunes, can't remember which Zappa album though, really meaty tone and solid playing all the way.
