The Bassist and Guitarist thread

[Drago]

Not to mention just about any axeman who has played with Thin Lizzy. Brian Robertson, Scott Gorham, Gary Moore, but in particular the hugely underrated and breathtakingly talented Eric Bell.

And holding down the low end they had this maestro...

Derek Trucks - oh man, he's probably playing better solos than anyone (based on You Tube at least) at the moment. The guy just has soul deep down into his bones. I have listened to that live version of Midnight in Harlem so many times. It's just sublime. And Ry Cooder, too, up there with one of my favourite solos of all time - a live version of How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live? Again, played on slide, which may something about me (I also love Duane Allman and Lowell George) or about how a slide can add all those tiny micro-tones in.

These days there are so many incredible technical players that it's great that some people haven't forgotten it's about touching people's hearts.

Derek

Now that’s what you call a proper reliced and customised Fender.

Reliced, or an actual relic?

Gallagher's Strat got like that through natural wear and tear. Fender had a pretty difficult job replicating it!

Yep, getting chucked in a ditch after it was stolen didn't help much either.

Not quite as extreme as what happenned to Peter Frampton's Les Paul, although even post-plane crash/pre-restoration pictures don't look as battered as Rory's Strat.

ZZ Top's Dusty Hill has passed away.

Thinking of a new pickup for the Shorty, give it some kick. Seymour Duncan and EMG about the same price, so I'm torn.
