Frank Blank Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Mark Sandman from the excellent band Morphine usually played a one or two stringed bass with a slide... Edited March 11, 2019 by Frank Blank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 You mean this one? Sadly his life has got more complex over the years. Maybe he used only 2 strings for effect at the time. Back in the day, bands did object to miming on stage. I read that in the early days ToTP was played out live. When The Who were invited on they left the stage during the "performance" and danced with the audience. They didn't get asked back and the show went on to be pre-recorded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
