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

[pallino]

I couldn't change anything with this video, but this video changed me into a better musician...already 30 or more years ago!
Thanks Jack,Eric and Ginger!

Can't argue with that!!

 

[your idol]

1). Gibson Les Paul Standard Bass
2). Ampeg SVTpro 2
3). Ampeg SVT VR 8X10 cab
4). GHS pressurewounds
5). What the hell is a pick?!?!?
6). Get rid of that Clapton guy..pretty sure his ego is gonna end up being an issue. Ill replace him with Prince and let him go bananas.

 

[MikeBass]

SX
Berhinger
EQ'd like Fieldy
shaved head
cod piece
cowboy boots
E-Bow

Did I miss anything?

 

[ProfGumby]

You don't change Jack Bruce.

In Russia, Jack Bruce changes you! (Sorry for the cheesy 80"s Yakov Smirnoff reference...)

Ginger was only a lot baked in that one....

And what would I change?

Lose the hat -
Use a Jazz bass -
Use whatever gear I had.

That is the beauty of that song. I have heard it done by many bands with many different gear combos, and they all sounded good!

 

[rodl2005]

1. Squier Pete Wentz signature P-bass
2. A wall of Bugera Nukes (t3h br00talz)
3. I'd wear Justthe hat.

& Play sax at the same time

 

[cynical-rabbit]

I would probably keep everything the same, especially the clothes worn on stage, and Clapton's porn star mustache. They probably need to 'relax' a little more on stage too.

Yes. And anyway, how could you choose a Thunderbird over an SG?!

 

[Dubadays]

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

So awesome......

 

[Gibenbackerbass]

I would never try to change Jack. Jack is an icon. The muddrucker's dream of bass playing imortality. He's a true defender of Gibson warmth and a testement as to how the magic of mahogany can be put to great use.

And given that, what would YOU, not Jack, do differently in the spirit of expressing YOUR individulaity?

 

[aquateen]

I'd wear my Gibson t-shirt.

 

[two fingers]

The ONLY thing I would change is the "telephone" style guitar chord. Other than that it's perfect the way it is.

 

[Gibenbackerbass]

I'd wear my Gibson t-shirt.

That's encouraging!

The cig on the headstock is a nice touch
