Did anyone happen to see Paul Weller and his band perform Shades of Blue on the Jonathan Ross show on TV last Saturday 1st May 2021? It's also on You Tube if you want to take a look.

Just wondering what the white double cutaway bass guitar is. Thought it may have been a Gretsch or Guild but investigation of those brands turned up a blank. Thanks.

I think Paul Weller might have got fed up with bass playing high in the mix. There isn't a single song since his Jam days where I have heard an inspiring bass line.
I'm a big fan of solo Weller and have tickets to see him on his postponed UK tour whenever that happens, but the bass playing on his songs since Bruce Foxton is very average. I would hazard a guess he creates the bass lines.

Tasty bass lines on this track in my humble opinion.
