This is true.

I kinda like the bass player from this band too. Ian Hill is not mentioned much, but I always liked his playing.

Speaking of Bass,

Here is a tune I always used to catch myself thinking of the Beetles. Vocal Harmonies, catchy bass line, jangly drums and guitar licks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
But it definitely has a memorable bass goin on....

I think we all know that the best players can do it on any piece of gear from a $100 Squier to a $10K Custom...

...most of the really expensive guitars are made to satisfy a collector niche of mediocre players or people who don't play at all.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

PLUS this guy were so tight. One of the best Rhythm sections I have ever heard.

Another killer bass player Rex Brown of Pantera

Technique is a BIG PART of the equation. Like Ace Of Spades - 90% of theta song is right hand technique (seriously) and 5% is gluing (5) Dunlop .88mm pics together to form a 'Lemmy-Pick' and the other 5% is having a tall enough microphone stand....

HEY, YA gotta love when the MAN himself answers the skuttlebutt.
YAY Joe Borchard of Blue Oyster Cult. He personally answered my buddy Dave about Godzilla.

Hey Dave, great instruction. Spot on! Not many people get those chords right. That was totally improvised when we recorded the track. We did about 52 takes of the song. The last take we did had that solo and it was the one we kept. Thanks for your attention to detail. ;-)!

One more thing. The second time you hear that sliding seventh chord in the vamp, it is just a re-record of the first lick. No samplers in our studio in 1977! It was done with a second tape machine that recorded just that sliding bass chord, and then the engineer had to "wild sync" the part back into the track. Pretty tricky. When we heard it our we were amazed that they got it to fit so well.

Hey are you pokin' me? I sold all my poser guitars. Almost everything I have now I put together myself...

 

[WavMixer]

This is true.

Heck, I drive a $1 truck and a $200 car.

Then there is the guy that takes his $2,000 guitar, in his $500 van to play a $50 gig.

Here's for all you Bass Players.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

Hey are you pokin' me? I sold all my poser guitars.

I had 2 poser guitars and both were basses. I still have THE most expensive of my poser basses. My Steve Harris P. Of course if I had a $200 G10 Ibanez bass, I'd still be a poser of all actual gigging bass players. I just play for fun.

My personal opinion is that funk and Motown/R&B bassists represent some of the very best in the art.

Rather than just “holding the bottom end” they provide movement and direction to the piece.

Although one can't say this guy doesn't bring the goods enough to play silly bass styled instruments like he likes to play.
