Does anyone know what bass Dana’s playing?

You betcha!

The same bass he's played for close to 30 years, at least. Roscoe Beck V! Dana is a great player and singer. I credit him as one of my earliest bass playing influences.

Thanks JnF and y’all! With almost 60 years of bass playing under my “strap,” and 30+ years playing 5 string almost exclusively, I still haven’t seen a Roscoe Beck in the wild. I’m not a chunky neck fan, so they’re probably not for me anyway. But they certainly sound great!

This thread keeps catching my eye as I read Diamond Rio and Diamond Rowe. Diamond Rowe is badass. Go listen to Tetrarch. Thank me later.

Interview: Diamond Rowe (Tetrarch) “I think it would be cool if people were more accepting of everyone’s differences." - Devolution Magazine

For those shouting that nu metal is dead Tetrarch are the band stepping forward bellowing “hold my beer”. And they have a point. Imagine Linkin Park fused wonderfully together with Lamb Of God and you get the gist. Tetrarch destined for great things. Gary Trueman chatted to guitarist Diamond...

Well …. Diamond Rio and Tetrarch are certainly more different than alike! Both are very talented, but travel different paths.

Thanks for alerting me to her solo album, she had seemed to be doing less post Covid.


Yes on Ronnie Earl!

Wow, thirty years with that bass around his neck, kudos! Best bass Fender ever made though.

These didn’t seem all that easy to come across when Fender was making them, they seem almost impossible to find now.
