BigRedX Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Julian Cope from his The Teardrop Explodes days. I remember reading an interview with him where he said he was determined not to simplify the bass lines down while he was singing like so many other punk/post punk singing bass players of the time.

SJA Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) there's a clip on the old Grey whistle test of The teardrop explodes doing "reward", and JC's playing a black maple neck jazz, worn high. James Eller's great though eg. Trampoline. also, on the gibsonbass site there's a thunderbird/firebird doubleneck Cope owns- I remember seeing his bassist playing it on TOTP.
