Have you seen the Joe Bonamassa videos with Jimmy Barnes?Interesting how especially the Brits have taken our uniquely American genre of music and sell it back to us.
One a cover of the Deep Purple song Lazy, and the other a Jimmy Barnes song (written by his Cold Chisel bandmate Don Walker) Stone Cold.
Both on You Tube, and I rate them.
Especially in that color.
and we buy it....Interesting how especially the Brits have taken our uniquely American genre of music and sell it back to us.

I checked to see if World Records in Bako has her lined up. Unfortunately, nope. You’re buddy Joe has played there.

True enough - the US then had to have it brought "back" to us by a young Brit movement of advocates. It woke-up to the 100% indigenous culture right under our noses.

Is JB a Bay Area guy? I'm aware of him as a major contemporary blues guitarist and vintage guitar collector, but actually don't know much else about him.
I played one of his songs with Jason Lane Band. I believe it was called "Just cause you can don't mean you should"
Here's a mix of a DJB tune called Wahtitis:
VP with Cobalt Flats > D800+>Focusrite Saffire
I'm trying to decide if the bass part during the guitar solo is a keeper. I had it doubling the guitar in a few spots, but then Mike redid his solo....
Maybe I'm overthinking it

That's pretty cool Irv, Waht-ever-itis!
After 1st listen I played along with it and although some parts I approached (understandably) differently - your feel throughout is excellent. Give us the #s of your bass solo - not clear on that. Are you talking 2:24 -3:00? If so, sounds good from my house.

Thanks Geo! During the guitar solo at 3:17 the guitar used to do the same run as the bass. I might just overdub another bass up an octave in that bit.That's pretty cool Irv, Waht-ever-itis!

As the guitar solo is featured - your playing behind it seems appropriate.., unless I'm missing something.

Good stuff!
Greco TB-70, is there any timeframe when these were built that might be better than others. Also, are the headstocks large like Epiphone/Vintage Gibson, or slimmed down like the more modern 90’s and up Gibsons?

- Endorsing Artist Mike Lull T Bass pickups, The Bass Shop, Seattle WA.
Mine's a '77 and I think the pickup is magical, there's simply no other like it. The headstock is in between the modern Gibson and an older one like a '76 - Much smaller than the needlessly oversized Epiphone.
Thanks, an outside perspective is helpful
I have an eye on an ‘88. I REALLY do not need to buy another bass (or anything really), but I recently had my hands on a Greco Flying V bass owned by an acquaintance and was surprised at how well built it felt. Not to concerned about the pickups as I don’t think the originals are in it, more interested in how solid it’s built and the potential for low action it may have. I have a ‘99 Gibson that no one can seem to setup with reasonable action without a significant buzz on the E, and now I’m gunshy about any set neck/neck through basses.
