Bass Meme War! Go!!

The song Jessie's Girl is now 41 years old. Now, it is an oldie. When it came out in 1981 and you went back 41 years, it was 1940.

Yall thinking too hard on it. Listen to it, enjoy it, like it, love it, no matter when it was made. Let other people enjoy other stuff. even the stuff they make now. The beauty of music is that it is for everyone. Just like getting older.

I, totally, agree. My current band started doing Jessie's Girl recently. I used to play it in a couple other bands over the years. It always goes over well. When I mention to the audience sometimes that the song is 41 years, many people do not realize that. There are many other songs like that too.
 
It's amazing when someone figures out a way to turn something good into something even better...


I had to have heard that song a thousand times over the years. But, having watched that video this one time, I may never be able to not hear it that way in my head ever again. :eek:
 
Sorry if repeat.

Oh man, that is too [bleep]ing good!!! :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :D

There's something with a long neck in a top-left cornet, so let's hope it's some kind of bass.
Yep, I saw that too! Wikipedia says there were (are?) bass-sized & tuned lutes, so maybe it's in there somewhere. :thumbsup:

There are a couple Archlutes or theorbos, so yes. Too far away to tell which but they both have floating bass strings (kind of like on a harp guitar) that go about an octave lower than a typical lute, with scale lengths often even longer than an upright bass.
