After some A-B-ng, I put a fresh set of TI Jazz FLATS on my active older, JS-II. So the GuilEmbic still sports TI Jazz ROUNDS. Being I'll be playing some shows this summer where I'll be happy to have basses with such diverse sounds, I'm really happy.
And a poke at all of you "I'll leave my old strings om because James Jamerson did or Mgod does", you are missing out on the pleasure re-intonating your basses. And hearing them come back to life. I LOVE how cool one of my basses sounds with a fresh set of Jazz Flats slapped on. Really.
This was inspired by an early practice session. I have a new cover band project playing Doors music. Yeah, I know they didn't have a live bass player when I saw them in 8th grade at what became Fillmore East. (They started with Break On Through which is still my favorite Doors song.) Later they had some fine bass players on board and on stage,
Anyway - I have two summer setlists to learn.
For the 50th Reunion Zinjanthropus show I was surprised to find I was listed as the singer on the Doobie Bros "China Grove" given the Doobies were not around when we were delighting audiences down on the lower east side. But it's nice to see that I am expected to howl up at that high frequency once again.
But I started this because how cool I have been finding the Doors parts to be. The bass parts on Love Her Madly and 20th Century Fox are really fun. But LA Woman is the most challenging bass part just because of the of the speed. But it's a wicked fun song.
So, anyway and never mind ....
