Jack White looking cool with a Jazz Bass

[Kukulkan61]

Who??

 

[D.A.R.K.]

He's creepy and he's kooky....

 

[LBS-bass]

Looks like Mr. White switched up and went to a sighted barber

I dunno. That big, clumpy mess on the left side of his head (his right side) don't look too skillful to me, but maybe clumpy hair is all the rage these days. I dunno.

Just released this new PR photo...

And I don't know why I care but does this Bass look fretless to you guys?
It kinda does to me but I can't really tell if it's fret signs or frets

Looks like a Pau Ferro fretless. Good stuff. Saw him and Meg play Portland, OR in 2005 promoting their Get Behind Me, Satan album.

Jack who?

Oh, I'm okay with artists changing their look... but most important ingredient of the cake (i.e., good music) has to be there. Otherwise, we're sitting at the table being served icing and sprinkles... and that's been the case for "popular music" for the better part of the last 10-15 years.

I've got to say I disagree about levelling this criticism at Jack White. A bunch of his acts do have somewhat schtick-y visual brands, but I think that most anyone who is into american blues rock would appreciate what he does musically. I think his record label / studio / pressing plant business is a pretty cool move as well:

 

[BassToGoGo]

I'm surprised. He always seemed to be a big fan of red...

 

[CryingBass]

He is probably making so much money pressing Vinyl these days that he don’t need to play too much anymore!

 

[Robot.G]

He's creepy and he's kooky....

No doubt. Read about his beef with the Black Keys and everyone else!

 

[WestyBassBob]

The image was always part of the equation. Even the Beatles changed their image from album to album.

It is just that the image doesn't strike your fancy.

Jack whites personal style is not to my taste. But the dude definitely knows how to make music.

 

[J Gold]

Say what you will against him, he’s doing everything he can to keep real rock alive. I’ve seen him solo and with the Raconteurs and he is a kick ass performer, band leader, composer, producer, and guitarist.

 

[D.A.R.K.]

No doubt. Read about his beef with the Black Keys and everyone else!

Meh, beef promo. Don't buy it. He just looks like he's in the Adams Family in that pic.

He looks like he’s playin bass for Unknown Hinson.

He looks like he’s playin bass for Unknown Hinson.

Haha! Unkown Hinson > Jack White!

 

[roller]

That's not saying a whole lot.

[Robot.G]

That's not saying a whole lot.

I just learned that Stuart Daniel Baker AKA Unkown Hinson the voice of Early Cuyler, "an impoverished anthropomorphic hillbilly mud squid living in the Georgia region of the Blue Ridge Mountains" was also involved in some controversy and got ousted from his role for good reason. So yeah. That's not saying a whole lot at all!

 

[Killing Floor]

Very cool.

 

[roller]

More interesting than Jack White!

Didn’t know he played bass. Pretty cool in my opinion.
