    "Bruce the Hero": an awesome Jack Bruce hommage/pastiche by one-man-band Carlo Poddighe

    In short: per the title. In long: - title says it all (Jack was nothing short of a hero to many of us, and not simply for his bass skills) - no, no connection to Poddighe, myself; not that I would mind, either - except he doesn't appear to have much use for a bassist, as will be clear by...

    Jack Bruce Warwick sound

    How can I get the sound in the link with jazz bass? I know the fretless is a big factor but I'm asking thinking about pickups and wood.

    Epi EB-3 vs Epi Viola

    Hello Which bass are closer to Jack Bruce's Warwick signature bass as sound? ( like this performance) I know Jack used Gibson EB-3 but his Warwick has different sound. Warwick is "softer" than EB-3. EB-3 has really hoarse sound. And Epi viola is different from Hofner Violin bass. So I think...

    Quote from the late Jack Bruce

    I saw an interview with Jack Bruce a couple of years ago, and he was asked how he ended up playing the bass. His answer was something like "well, I only have to play one note and get paid the same as everyone else". I'd like to find that quote. Does anyone know where it was? I'm pretty sure...

    Jeff, why Jack Bruce?

    I understand you have a "tribute" album or recording planned of Jack Bruce. I would like to know what it is about his playing that inspires you to do this. He was always known as a busy player...perhaps even the father of the "lead bass" style. Some thoughts or a written appreciation of his...
