cytania Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'll be out at rehearsals but I think PBS America on Sky will feature a James Jamerson amp on History Detectives at 7:50pm. Sometimes the items investigated aren't all they seem but it's always interesting. Hopefully I'll catch a repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pobrien_ie Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Thanks for the tip-off. I think it's actually on tomorrow evening though. Just sky+'d it. Someone posted the video here recently, but will be good to have it saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Would like to see that. Having never knowingly funded a Murdoch I'll not be seeing it, unless its get put on Youtube or something. Any links gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 Strings Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I can't help but comment on the lack of knowledge of some of the people though! The amp owner was the worst but even the guy in the shop seemed to have the commonly held assumption that bass players only played roots and thirds inferring that only modern bass players are more mobile. Some of the bass players in the fifties (and, of course, earlier) were phenomenal, Eugene Wright, Ray Brown etc just listen to Anita O'Day for some incredible bass playing (not sure who her bass player was). Not all these bothered with the transition to electric as Jamerson did, granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pobrien_ie Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I found it strange that JJ jnr gave My Girl as an example of how his father changed bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
