| | | | I'm a bass player and I still have to say; Who was
really listening to the bass while Jimi was playing? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2012 Location: scotland | | | I started playing bass in 1967 and it was Hendrix, Free and Cream that I loved most. it was only later in the 70s that I really started to understand the bass lines they used and just how important the were to the make up of the songs.
when i look back now at the age of 60 I see that almost all the songs i loved had great bass player in the band, I really like Andy Frazer of Free too. I really like Noel playing but think Bill Cox drives the beat a bit more.

That said, I'm not a huge fan of the psychadelic blues jam power trio era... Are there recordings of Hendrix throwing down with Bruce ?

If you haven't seen/heard this video yet, the whole band is in top form and the bass is mixed pretty high. Billy is having a stellar day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9k5LQJS33o
You might need to hang on (or fast forward) to get past the artsy intro, but it is worth it. |

I didn't mind, really. I didn't buy it as an investment or anything. Of course, now I realize that may not have been the wisest thing to let slide, but...

Two out of three of them had the signature. I read somewhere that he only signed some of the 1000 limited run. I have also read that there are guys putting on a fake autograph to increase the value of the ones that didn't get signed by Noel. So, if I ever do the Hendrix cover thing and need to buy another one, I am not even going to worry about the signature.
They were good basses though... |

While I enjoy the later Cox/Mitchell rhythm section shows, Jimi and the Experience were truly on FIRE with the original trio. Listen to Winterland or all those great early gigs on "Stages" or the Albert Hall gig. Outstanding, and really going places with the music. What I like about Noel is what I think, perhaps, Jimi had a love/hate thing with........Noel PUSHED Jimi when the jams got going. Sometimes that lead to clashes and cacophony, but more often they reached heights that Jimi never quite got to, later on.
Noel also spoke onstage, and acted as if the Experience were a real BAND, not just a star and his sidemen, and I bet that got up Jimi's nose from time to time.
So yeah, he might not have been the greatest, but Noel gets an undeserved bad rap at times. Glad to see so many here who get it.
- Jim
PS.....I had one of those Redding MIJ Jazz basses, and it's the only bass I regret selling. Every one I played was something special. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
