Kinda like that old SNL spoof of MTV’s “Behind The Music”(no, not the one with the cowbell)…

A novel premise, perhaps creepy, but I saw one of the earliest tribute acts decades ago, Randy Hansen as Hendrix, and I just had to laugh at the...
I get these articles in my feed, sometimes the writers are dead on, sometimes they’re clueless, but they’re more tuned in and open minded than much of what comes from Rolling Stone, but that’s no surprise. Generally, I rather read Mojo, Uncut, or from the U.S., Ugly Things.
I was amazed at how...

Maybe by 1970 things were starting to slip, definitely by ‘72 it seemed liked that. I’ve had a ‘66 P since around that time(NOS found in a music store basement), and I never felt it was inadequate.

I’ve owned and played many fuzz pedals—this one perfectly captures the hairy fuzz style made famous by Hendrix. It offers massive, touch-sensitive fuzz with sweet, glassy cleans, modern mids control, and a bias knob that allows you to dial...
awesome underrated fuzz pedal.
does loose low end, not recommended for playing basslines. works amazing for guitar (obviously) and great for leads or blended with a clean blend (i used an LS-2)
also highly underrated for more vibrant clean - super low gain drive sounds by rolling off your...
You can hate on labels, and “the suits” all you want, but if you know the history of the record business, you’d know Mo was one of the good guys, a champion of artistic freedom…

End of an era.
Hendrix plays bass with that same wonderfully gifted feel. He would have been a great bass player if he choose to. Me born in 1964 I picked up bass around 1975 and I loved playing bass on Hendrix tunes with garage bands. Please enjoy this clip I found browsing during breakfast;
Got a call from one of my old drummers, he knew Mike and let me know of his passing. Featured prominently on Jimi Hendrix’s “Rainy Day Dream Away”, he had an astounding career playing primarily organ with, well, everybody. My first legal night in a bar was spent seeing him in a little club.

While I’m waiting for live performances to resume at the LA Phil, I have transcribed some of my favorite rock tunes for double bass and voice. Throw on some headphones; I hope you enjoy it.
Part 2: ‘Blackbird’ by the Beatles was inspired by Bach's Bourée in E minor for lute. McCartney did a...
My dad has played bass in the LA Philharmonic for the last 35 years. All concerts have been cancelled since March, so he’s been spending his time deconstructing his favorite rock songs for string bass - combining bass and guitar parts, while attempting to sing. Here is some Jimi Hendrix for you...
It’s hard to believe it’s been 50 years, but on September 18, 1970 we lost James Marshall Hendrix.
I grew up in the 80s and valued clean, technical playing. I’ll admit it took a while for me to get into Hendrix. As an ignorant teenager, I’d make comments about how sloppily he played. But I...
Hey 8-String-Folks here at talkbass,
I was looking for some expiriences and reviews of the new (2017/18) HAGSTROM H8-II 8-String-Bass. The one which is a lot closer - from the looks - to the original one from the late 60s. Yes, the one Hendrix/Noel and Lemmy used to play ;)
