Another rebel of the Texas music scene… https://variety.com/2025/music/obituaries-people-news/joe-ely-dead-texas-singer-roots-rock-hero-1236609581/

Here's Brand New Cadillac by The Clash. Simonon plays that part under the B7 subtly different every time, so I didn't try to catch each one. And sometimes I play it in first position with open strings and others as written in the tab going up one string at a time. See what you feel. Proper...

See what you make of this. London Calling by the Clash, with and without tabs E phrygian? Eminor with a flat 2...so the F is natural.

Anyone know how Paul Simonon orignally achieved that tone? What pedal would get me closest to this? Strikes me that ive spent my life avoiding the bass fart. I like the tone of all of my OD's and distortions on my pedal board, but they sound far too musical and tasteful compared to this!

Hello all! I know Paul Simonon of the Clash is well known for using a Precision, but there are a few photos floating around of him rocking a strange bass with a neck-position humbucker that looks like the ones on Gibsons from that era. I've attached the file to this post. Wonder if anybody...
