🎶It's All About the Bass🎶
I have played around with an electric guitar a couple times along with an electric bass. I liked playing the bass more (and it is much easier to carry than a string bass).
So getting Bach the bass.

🎶It's All About the Bass🎶
Wow what a great thread! This is something I can really sink my teeth into.
I have been playing bass since I was in high school. It is in my DNA to be a bass player. For example, I remember when I was a kid I would hum the bass lines to Beatles and Motown songs on the radio.
Anyways, in keeping with modern bass playing on classical themes, here is some outstanding playing in a very unusual playing style from Jethro Tull's original bass player Glenn Cornick. This is Tull's interpretation of Bach's Bourée. Pay particular attention the the bass solo beginning around the 1:50 second mark.
I learned to play this note for note in my first year of playing bass. I got a lot of help from a very skilled guitar player friend to figure out how to play the intervals and chords which are very unusual in bass playing technique. 50 years later, I can still play this from memory.
In my early playing,I was significantly influenced by the bass player Glenn Cornick, but I never saw him play or knew anything about him - just his playing. I only found this music video a couple years ago and I was astounded by some interesting coincidences. First, Glenn is play a Gibson EB-3 bass, which is far less commonly used than other basses such as Fender Precision or Jazz basses. Turns out, an EB-3 was my first bass and was what I was using at the time I learned this song. Second, the long hair, head band and dangly belt/scarf combo. That was my look at the time. Plenty of people had long hair back then, but not so much the head band or belt/scarf.

I have LOVED Tull's Bouree since I heard the first note. As much as I admire darn near every thing Tull did, Bouree is still my favorite, I think.

Holy s###. I think his last note was a low, low, low b (as in the last B before you run out of keyboard on the piano).

Long-lost bass guitar returned to Paul McCartney after more than 50 years
Violin-shaped Höfner vanished around the time the Beatles split up but has now resurfaced after a global appeal
Tom Ambrose
Fri 16 Feb 2024 00.32 CET
A Höfner bass guitar bought by Paul McCartney for £30 in 1961 has been returned to the former Beatle after a global search to find the stolen instrument.
The distinctively shaped guitar, bought by McCartney before his rise to stardom and reportedly his favourite, was last seen around the time the Beatles were recording their final album to be released, Let It Be.
McCartney paid £30 for the bass guitar 63 years ago, equivalent to about £800 at today’s prices.
A search to find the missing violin-shaped bass, a German-made Höfner 500/1, was launched by the Lost Bass Project last year, and on Tuesday a student, Ruaidhri Guest, shared a photograph on social media of the elusive instrument.
Guest claimed he had inherited it, adding that it had since been returned to its original owner.
“To my friends and family I inherited this item which has been returned to Paul McCartney. Share the news,” he posted on X.
