The BASS thread

Oh, this is interesting. A thread for the bass guitar, huh? Think I'll nominate my 3 faves:

Geezer Butler
Jean Jacques Burnel
Billy Gould

Posting this bc it's such a treat to be able to see James Jamerson doing his thing. Little fragments only but better than nothing.

This is one of the rare tracks from this period of Deep Purple that I’m not too crazy about! 😑

oh, don't get me started! I really dislike this song. I think it's awful. Boring song, dreadful, DREADFUL vocal performance, useless lyrics, the whole thing is just ... gah!

BUT ... the rhythm section ... aahhhh! I do love the drums and especially the bass line. I listen to the song maybe once every three or four years. The only other DP song I like is Child In Time - especially the live version. But the bass line here - omg! Divine!

yeah, see, this is a No from me. I don't like DP, never did. They are not a rubbish band, far from it, but they never connected with me. It was all a bit - meh!

I'll defend my decision to include SOTW on the thread but I can't argue that DP are one of the greats. That would be a job for someone else, lol.

Wasn't gonna look at this. Ngl, I'm not the muso / techie type. Don't understand, don't wanna understand. But it was only 1m 37s which is my kind of video clip. So I watched it.

First of all, I did enjoy the playing. Awesome! Really interesting. Lovely tone. So I enjoyed that.

But, my god, the man's voice! Um, how can I put this - very 🥵 🥵 🥵 🥵

Dead on the floor!

Can someone - anyone - listen to the first 15 seconds of this vid and tell me where in America this guy's accent is from? I'm having a 🥵 moment over his voice.

So grateful. No hurries, anytime is fine. I'm dead on the floor, anyway, lol.
