BassBully,

Nice Tele bass. Got a 73 myself. You got to love the thump.
Ok, back to the thread.

...and why have one at all, as it seems that they're lip-syncing to the original recording (right down to the fade out at the end)? Mr Soul does have a pretty lively bass line, for 1967...

...now I'm going to go back and listen to Bluebird...again. Good Stuff!!

Thanks, They are very cool basses but sadly I let her go to fund another 70's P bass...they are kind of one trick pony's you know.

I doubt Neil Young is too proud of that one. They were a great band though, and probably recorded the best know song that hardly anybody knows the name of (For What It's Worth). Any movie about the war, or the 60's, you can almost guarantee that song will be included. When I mention that song to people, they always say, "don't know it", until you play it to them.

Voice of East Harlem has a killing cover of "FWiW," in which the bassist co-stars w/ the lead vocalist. It's pretty clear nobody told *him* to stand quietly back by the drums.

Groovy. That's some very cool bass playing. He steals the show on that track.

I knew the song but not what it was called so thanks!

Funny when Jive posted it I swear if you read it it sounds like a rap or at least read it that way. BTW..I hate rap.

This kinda fits with other posts in the thread (I think.) I got a call from a guy in the band I left. He was asking if I still had my PA and if I would be interested in renting it out. He told me he had talked to the other members of the band about buying my PA, but nobody really wanted to spend any money. He said "if it's up to one person to carry the whole thing it's just not worth it."
