paul_5 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 If it has been posted on here before, then I ain't read it, so thanks for the link. Nice 'Jazz bass GAS' article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Must be quite an old article. The info on Jaco's "Bass Of Doom" is seriously out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matski Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 "Asked why he had never played a Precision bass, McCartney once said in an interview that he had thought about it, but had considered himself "too much of an amateur" for such a professional instrument and found that the Precision bass was out of his price range!"

neepheid Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I don't think I'm the target audience for this article [size=2]/me mumbles something about them all looking the same[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Interesting! Not particularly well written though, and some of the comments are extremely subjective - for example: "[i]Jaco Pastorius was unquestionably the greatest musician to ever wield a bass guitar[/i]." Oh really? Thanks for sharing though! Edited July 13, 2012 by Conan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buelljack Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 decent little write up there, thanks for sharing. I'd like to see a write up of the top ten (subjective) bass players and their guitar history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanew Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Interesting article, thanks. Fortunatly, Bass of Doom reappeared and the luthier did a great job with remaining pieces. On the other hand, among the most sought after BASSES i would add : - Donald "Duck" Dunn Precision bass. RIP Dear Mister Dunn. http://www.thfire.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/donald-dunn-dies.jpg - Edited July 14, 2012 by Emanew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Recall reading an interview with Macca where he was talking about his early career, and why he bought a Hofner, as opposed to a Fender, and that attribution is to those comments. With The Beatles and solo seem to recall him playing various Fenders, as well as Precision-alikes such as a Yamaha BB1200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
