Johnny Long on a Le Fay Singer 5: No Talking

[Dr. Cheese]

That is a tough church praise team!

 

[Flaked Beans]

That's amazing, both the bass player and the bass (and the whole group)! Yep Johhny is absolutely great on that recording!

Here is some more.

I've never seen him play "lefty" before. Crazy!

I am pretty sure that is a reversed camera image, but maybe he is just that good.

...and wears what looks like a wedding ring on his right hand.... (it's reversed).

The "EXIT" sign is reversed. Either that or they make lefty signs too

 

[Bass4LifeRS]

Weird Get Lucky cover version. I prefer Nathan East

Nah, that's the door to go to for getting your Tixe fixed.

Super high end custom advanced German luthier engineering played through sub-standard-parts slave wage mass produced Chinese amplification.

Play what you like and f the haters.

(Yes it's probably just the setup that lives at the church)

Ok, I'll bite. The amp is way more sophisticated than building a bass. F the haters.

Yeah he has skills. I "follow" him on YouTube - he's fun to watch and has a lot of personality.

I can tell you have not been anywhere near an African American church. Cool, I know even less about Norwegian musical traditions.

You're right, I haven't . But, if I can get a gig like that where I can play "secret" hitmusic bass licks whenever the chord progressions coincide with the worship music, I am up for it!

That sort of thing is common in Urban Gospel and everybody at church is in on it.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

I'm probably most impressed that there is no talking. Heh.

 

[FunkHead]

Man that drummer really likes his Cymbals. It's just too much. Johnny is great though.

I totally agree - the best part is when the drummer cuts out around 7:00 and you can hear Johnny solo. He is the man. I follow him as well... even got his new CD and t-shirt - I'm all in on Johnny Lee! And this is a great clip - thanks @Dr. Cheese for posting!

Sounds great. But I don't think that model is a Singer. It looks more like the ROB model with the fanned frets and body color.
