You're the bass player in this video. What changes would you implement?

[becker4567]

You don't change Jack Bruce.

Let me re-phrase that....you don't EVER change Jack Bruce!

 

[jumbosilverette]

Sheesh. Some guys would rewrite Beethoven's 5th.

 

[gjbassist]

Or the Pappa John Phillips version:

Only if you plan on having an incestuous relationship!

 

[gjbassist]

The only things I would change would be: 1) to loose the cigarette and 2) replace the hat with something that didn't look like I was about to go on Arctic expedition!

 

[shrimpflea]

the only thing i would change is Clapton's mustache....I'd go with the full beard.

 

[Meddle]

Only if you plan on having an incestuous relationship!

With a ham sandwich...

 

[ga_edwards]

Err.. Warwick and Hartke, because that's what Jack uses forty years later.

 

[pigsonthewing]

That is the video that made me love Cream
And made me pick a Jack Bruce avatar

 

[eddievanbassman]

the only thing i would change is the cigarette to a joint.

 

[dnarock]

1). jet glow Ric
2). GK1001rb for neck pup and Genzbenz gbe750 for bridge
3). GKneo 4x12 GBE 6x10
4). EB power slinky
5). Pick
6). long hair no hat

 

[Mark Perry]

Equipment wise I'm not very fussy. I'd probably play through a markbass rig (just cause i'd love to play through a markbass rig). Maybe get some old school fuzz from a marshall guitar amp. Rotosound strings for that rock n' roll sound and a case good dose of patriosim. And probably a jazz bass, i like jazz basses I think a top hat and a cigar what bring the look together. Maybe a diaper a la Gary Shider, he's pretty cool. And i'll dig in with my fingers.

 

[Valerus]

I'd remove the cigarette from the headstock and wear a bigger hat that was tie-dyed.

good idea

 

[pigsonthewing]

the only thing i would change is the cigarette to a joint.

+1



and the hat is definately epic

 

[unclejane]

Whoa. This is, like, sacrilege or something... messing with Jack Bruce? I think you go to hell for stuff like that...

[yellofury]

[Serek_Basses]

[MisterMagician]

yeah I mean its cool and everything
has the neat electronics and LEDs
but if it aint broke....

I just place him with a Gibson EB
just like Clapton and his stratocaster

 

[GreaserMatt]

Instead of that hat, I'd pick George Costanza's hat:

Beat me to it, LOL....

I was gonna say 'lose the hat', but that would ruin the whole thing, LOL...

 

[AlleyCat]

I'd loose the burnout camera man, tell ginger he looks like ****, and kick something over (just because we rule!). That would look good... i'd even tell clapton to wave the bitchin stash around a bit... much better
