John Taylor Stingray Video!

[Randracula]

I just found this on YouTube.Very cool video of John and Roger Taylor warming up back stage on their 2005 tour.I believe the Stingray John is playing was the one that belonged to Bernard Edwards. Some good footage of Johns slap technique at about 4 minutes in....

Was his bass plugged in?

John Taylor's one of my guilty pleasures. He accounts for my fascination with Aria Super Basses.

Was his bass plugged in?

Yeah, I think it was such a tight space that the drums are just drowning his bass out.... I wish you could hear it better

Looks like a Peavey emblem on the bottom of his amp.

That was pretty cool, I always liked John's basslines. And wouldn't that be something having Bernards bass, as well as the things learned from him back then.

No guilt here...he's been one of my fave's for about as long as I've been playing.

John's bassline from "Rio" was very cool IMHO. Much more complex than the typical "New Wave" thing, if you will.

Very talented guy, Girls on film is one of my favorite Duran basslines.
