Sign in to disble this ad
I've always enjoyed Tull's music from any era, but I never dug into their music deeply. I enjoyed what I heard, but never felt the need to run out and grab every album, just a little here and there. So imagine how knocked out I was to hear "Inside" for the first time! Great tune, melodic and mobile bass line...I wonder how I managed to have never heard this before? Cornick knocked my socks off again. Anybody know what setup he played on this tune or the entire Benefit album for that matter?

It seems like it's not an easy to tune to get the right feel for. The bass line is definitely an integral part of it. Unfortunately, I don't know what gear Cornick used on the album.

I see Fender & Gibson basses, mostly, but I could have sworn I saw him using a hollowbody Guild at one point around the era you're speaking about.

Don't know for sure about gear on that track, but Glenn was using the T-bird a lot in live shows around that time.

My appreciation for Glenn Cornick is old. Quote:

| | | Yeah I saw that.
I knew he used the EB3 on Stand up. That's cool he used it on Benefit too. I like EB3's better anyways.
That's a really neat interview. Quote:

So early tull is roundwounds. Probably one of the first bass player to use rounds in the 60's, along with entwistle and noel redding... |
