I like his tone on this a lot, stock TB Plus thru the right amp - no problem.

Yah - he's front & center on that song.

That’s Joe Osborn. One of my favorite bass players

You know it - that's why these songs are worth listening to ... they had thee best players in the studio playing them.

Here's another song from that period with a killer studio bass-player (Bob Babbitt) -

The Rodrigues story still confirms (for me) that there is righteousness in the world - damn! so many vids on YouTube are not available to transfer anymore!

Rodriguez: First performance in Africa, crowd goes crazy

I’m out of Marshall amp knobs….

my multi-meter can’t read caps, anybunny know what’s in these? I would imagine a .022uf?

if so I need to order some .015uf anyway and I would probably try one.

One my favorites is Jerry Jemmott's here.

Joe Osborn-explains a lot.

Interesting - must be a late '60s T-bird. Good on her for rockin' a cool vintage T-bird when not a lot of players male or female were then.

interesting tone….wonder if it’s the NR’s or another recorded bass…

Got any black speed knobs?

Buckets full! black/white/clear some go to 11... I don't particularly care for them, if I stray from 7ender and Marshall amp knobs I will tolerate Telecaster knobs, and the Jazz/Ric knobs.

I just happened to have those 3 BC Rich knobs, and they may stay.

Absolutely. Tbird Pluses sound awesome when dialed in.

And Bernard 'Pretty' Purdy (known by every drummer of salt for the Purdy shuffle) on drums and Cornel Dupree on guitar! Hard to top that line-up!

JJ holding' it down!

But he absolutely did not play on Beatle albums instead of Ringo.

Absolutely. I feel people give up on them way too quickly. With my strings and the amps I use I think they sound fantastic. Articulate, deep, edgy, ballsy, etc.

I think they probably sound better through an SS rig - but as always, I could be wrong.

"Well actually...." Yeah, I do usually go through a GK, but it also sounds great through the Ampeg B15 at the practice space, with a little help from my dirt pedal.

I'm not aware of that. Folklore had it that Paul played drums on Tomorrow Never Knows (one of my favorite Beatles songs) cause Ringo couldn't get the hang of it. Since they are both still alive, I guess that could be cleared up.​

luv’em with LB tapes….
