essexbasscat Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 A world without love by Peter and Gordon. Have a listen to the recording and especially the bass.

Phil Adams Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Didn't paul McC have something to do with that, seeing as Peter was Jane Asher's brother, or has 50 years destroyed my memory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Written by Macca, although credited to Lennon& McCartney. Great song!And very interesting recording - was it Paul on bass? Original (short!)demo by Paul here - [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNZmoLbrpLI[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexbasscat Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Interesting version there Pete, with the lovely Mary Hopkin at the end of the footage. The bass in the one I posted - I first thought it was a DB as the sound is so open. On reflection though, the intonation is so precise I now wonder if it was a fretted bass. Not likely to be Macca's Hofner, as that's usually a more muffled sound. Any ideas anyone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 JPJ was doing a lot of session work about that time. so it could be him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaFunk Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1373905196' post='2142951'] JPJ was doing a lot of session work about that time. so it could be him. [/quote] Studios were very busy places in the 60s. There were lots of session musicians to choose from. Geoff Love, the arranger would have had his regular musicians and session players so it's probably a case of take your pick. P.S. Jackie DeShannon wrote two songs for Peter & Gordon's 1966 self titled LP and she was going out with one James Page so hey maybe it was JPJ on Bass!
