I Have The Strangest Friends

[bovinehost]

Someone thinks Old Smoothie and my Reflex are "pretty good basses, really".

Me, explaining to Chuck R how Randy Jackson had this outrageous Lamborghini Orange bass and how I ended up with something not quite the same but maybe even cooler.

Fantastic!! What bass does he play himself these days? I guess he's got loads of them but does he have a number 1?

I can just imagine him playing the bass part to Kid Charlemaine on that Reflex. How amazing to have a bass legend in your lounge (other than yourself of course!!

My Old Smoothie is a revelation - it's actually got quite a bassy, old school sound, more so than my Classic Ray - combination of alder body, pick up and EQ I think. I would imagine that would suit Mr Rainey quite well.

Super cool!

Nice!

Strange, there is no "like" button on here? Ah well, I like this post a lot.

 

[Oldtoe]

Not a normal friend in the lot, no.

 

[bovinehost]

Where did that 'like button' go?

 

[bovinehost]

Is Jimmy Buck normal?

 

[Oldtoe]

Jimmy? He's normaller than some of us.

Now you know your cool when you're hanging out with CR in your socks....

 

[stu42]

Very cool. Okay...now I have to break out the Steely Dan.

I'd love to play one of those old smoothie's one day. Though I'd surely want one in a 5-string.

"Smoothie" ?

Must be a new language. In Olde Speek any
ax is a smoothie if there's no narsty metalic
speed bumps marring the finger board
