Biggest P inspiration?

[Chickenwheels]

Is that what he used on Look Sharp?

Apparently. Here’s a better shot of Graham with that bass. Note the black tapes.

For no related reason, I use tapes on my 75 P. Love em.

At least on the Look Sharp album he played a Jazz copy with flatwounds and a pick.

Flats?! I never knew!

Greetings from the North,

The Tapewounds on Graham Maby's Ibanez sounded awesome live. I still keep at least one bass strung with tapewounds.

Played with Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, James Cotton, and Elmore James.


Nice cat too.

Have you seen this?

I listened to all kinds of music when I first started bass, the sweetest P bass sound at the time was this:-


Freddie "Ready Freddie" Washington

Another Freddie fav. Both Hungate and Freddie slapped a mean P back in the day.

Have you seen this?

I saw it when looking at other Muddy last week but have not got a chance to watch it yet. Thanks for the reminder!

And, of course, Geezer Butler; but there's a lot of pictures of him already.

The movie Blues Brothers came out when I was 8yo. I loved Duck Dunn. I also found out years later that much of the awesome bass groves on Steely Dan's records was Chuck Rainey on a P bass.
