    Ladies and Gentlemen: Bill Wyman's short curly cord

    So I just watched "Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones" and it's amazing, if you haven't seen it do yourself a favor and check it out. The Stones when they really were the Greatest Rock n Roll Band in the World (Exile US Tour 1972), completely on fire. The thing is Bill Wyman plays a Dan...

    Geezer Butlers bass from 1975 (Warning: War Pigs Content)

    Does anybody have any idea what kind of bass that is that Geezer is playing in this clip? Looks like it might have 6 strings. Love the soft sounds he's kicking out. Cheers!

    Bugundiglo Rickenbacker 4001

    OK. So I'm an idiot. I had a 1980 Burgundiglo 4001. It was beautiful, It played great, It felt great. I had the tweed case. And I've been kicking myself ever since I traded it in 1991 or so. Anyway I'm looking to replace it but have as of yet not been able to find another Burgundiglo. Was it...

    The 1970's- Heatwave- Too Hot Too Handle

    That's all. Real simple groove but killer nonetheless: Anybody have any idea what kind of Amp that is that he's playing through?

    Why does Oteil Burbridge scat over every bass line he plays?

    I was just watching a Tal Wilkenfeld and Oteil clip on youtube and I just realized that I think I would appreciate Oteil's playing much more without the scatting. I saw him around 17 years ago with the Aquarium Rescue Unit and he was doing the same thing. No disrespect intended, he can certainly...

    Cort Precision Bass vs the mighty SX

    Hello all, I have a Cort Precision copy (PB-1L?) that I got in a trade for my 1980 Rick 4001 in around 1992 or so (don't worry it wasn't a straight trade). I always thought it was a decent P Bass copy. Anyway I left it at a friends place after doing some recording and kind of forgot about it...

    Give Blood with Townshend and Gilmour

    Hi Everyone, Found this on youtube after hearing so much about Pino's bass line for this song here on these boards. Pretty amazing track and performance but don't think it's Pino playing bass. They only show him a few times but there's a guy playing a Steinberger with a sleeveless t shirt...

    Bonin in the Boneyard with a Rick...

    Everyone should check out this youtube clip as it features one of the sickest slap bass lines in history being played pretty close to perfectly on a Rick 4001. Major props to this guy! Very nice job! I had a 1980 4001 almost exactly like the one in this video (Burgundiglo) and I got rid...

    So say it's 1962...

    ...and you walk into a music store and there is a brand new (1962) Fender Precision Bass on the shelf. How much would it have cost? I know my parents paid around $45/ month rent in Brooklyn back then. How many months worth of rent would it take you? Forgive me if this has been covered but...

    Late Show with Jimmy Fallon and the Roots

    Just finished watching the first episode of the late show with Jimmy Fallon and I have to say the Roots have taken the "talk show band" to a new level. The sound was incredible. Owen Biddle's bass tone was sick and the rhythm section with ?uestlove sounded huge on everything they played. I...

    Any MM Sting Ray masters out there?

    I just bought a Music Man Sting Ray and wanted to see if anyone could shed some light on it's age and give me any more info on this particular vintage of Sting Rays. I bought from a guy off Craigs list and it seemed like a pretty great deal. He said he bought it new in 2000 but I think it's...
