However, after the tempo picks up, the guys sound is KILLER!! Loved it!!! Same with the version of New World Man he does - killer Ricky tone - makes me want to get my old Ricky out of the storeroom and put it through it's paces again.

|  | No need to ask, he's a smooth... Moderator | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: West Midlands UK | | Those folks who've said it's out of tune - try listening to the whole thing.
It's actually weird. Some of the notes he plays in the intro sound close, some sound just plain wrong and don't need further explanation. But when the main rocky part starts up the tuning sounds pretty good to me.
Could it be the intro on the actual record was recorded separately to the rest (quite likely) and so there's a slight tuning difference? Or is that some notes higher up his neck are just showing up an intonation issue? I dunno - it is, as I said, weird. Why should he be out of tune with one part of the track but not the rest? I'm off to check the original. 
EDIT Well, my bass sounds in tune with both sections, so it isn't that. Maybe it's just he's playing too many wrong notes at the start, but it still sounds like he has some intonation issues around the 12th fret and above.

That'll be the Ric, then. Played with considerable conviction.
