Pig-Pen

[monroe55]

I was watchin Charlie Brown Christmas and the scene came on where all the charachters are jammin on that cool jazz music thats in the show and I noticed PigPen was playin upright. Nice! PigPen on bass. I like it. I was digging his technique.

So this actually belongs in DB.
I'm not going there- they're so serious over there...

The fretboard on that upright must have been filthy.

There are no frets on a Double Bass!

I think PigPen was heavily influenced by Muddy Waters.

Didn't he go on to play with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band?

 

[rfclef]

I noticed that too... In fact a couple days ago when it was on, I posted a similiar thought on my FB... Interesting... he's pretty good too...

Yeah, Mrs. Deluxe never misses a chance to point that out. I'll have to find a tee-shirt.

He makes the people dance,even without a drummer.

I'd say that's pretty badass..................

O'h come on! He was playing way up the neck and still staying in the low end!?

 

[grifff]

I laughed that this thread was posted in the "bassists" section.
