This OGWT vid was posted some years ago and went missing. Here it is once more featuring Martin Turner's 21 fret 4001.

I remember this guy from the Argus album, but I thought he'd always used a Gibson Thunderbird. What is the tune, I think it was "Time Was" off that album that features some rather adventurous playing on his part! I used to know how to play it, it is a wonderful bassline!

Could be, but I think you're thinking of Sometime World - fantastic bass line!squirebass wrote:I remember this guy from the Argus album, but I thought he'd always used a Gibson Thunderbird.

He was at my place at the end of last year, wanting to buy my 21 fretter. He gets around!

Re: Wishbone Ash and the 21 Fret 4001
I'll never forget the Sometime World bass line - when I was a kid, I taught myself to play (on a Rick4001!) by learning basslines like this. Obviously I couldn't play it at first, but gradually through perseverance, I managed to play more and more of it until I eventually mastered the whole song.
As a 16 year-old, I was probably posing in front of a mirror at the time! Memories...

Back then we couldn't afford a mirror so I had to contend with the 40' sculpted marble reflecting pool in the front yard.Ashgray wrote:As a 16 year-old, I was probably posing in front of a mirror at the time! Memories...

No, he had a Butler ... Geezer Butler !

Re: Wishbone Ash and the 21 Fret 4001
Well. Geezer B. was one of my earliest bass playing influences.
