Great Roxy clip, thanks! What FX unit was he going through for the soloing sound?

>>You CANNOT beat that P-sound... I love it.<<

Is this a Fender site or what!?

No... it's a forum, with bass players on it who play Rickenbackers and other great basses. Also take note that the thread is way off forum "topic" anyway...

Stop being such a monolithic Rickenbacker totalitarian.

I can compliment a Fender Precision if I bloomin' want to, mate.

Crikey, what's with everybody just recently?

Henny, thanks for that link, absolutely fantastic!
I love that sound too. This forum is at it's best when it's well rounded and informative. It's when it resembles a cheerleader's forum that I lose interest.

Henny..Thanks for that video clip..It reminds me of why I picked up the bass in the first place. But hey man..don't be such a "Fender Facist" (Just kiddin' Lad)

I love P basses too and in the hands of Entwistle/Wetton they're pretty hard to beat.

I think Wetton might just be playing really loud over the pup with some chorus. Who sounds like that anymore?

thump thump, brag about Fenders in "Others" not here....

Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you’ve been
It’s all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord

What moment? The moment I first for my hands on a Rick!

What the?

Anyway...

Haven't a clue what he used, Bob - only thing I know about Wetton is that he used Hiwatt everywhere (integral to his sig. sound) and his Moog Taurus pedals.

Great clip, thanks Henny! I'm a long time Wetton fan. As a kid in high school I had a bass amp custom built for me with a graphic EQ - a new thing at the time - and my only purpose was to duplicate Wetton's sounds from Crimson's "Red". I foolishly thought all I needed for that was a graphic EQ...

I saw Wetton with the band U.K. in 1977 with his white sans pickguard ahem... forgot the brand bass. Sounded great can't remember what kind of amp he used but he had that great overdriven sound. He had a great sound in King Crimson too, the ones with him on them are my favorite King Crimson albums. "Red" is a great LP. Gotta pull that old stuff out pretty soon.
My two main basses in the last 34 years of my playing have either been Rics or those "other" basses and I like both and still do.
I got a chuckle out of "monolithic Rickenbacker totalitarian" too.

Fight the power! Stick it to the man! That being said, I've heard P-bass sounds that I hate, and P-bass sounds that I love. I don't think I've ever heard a Ric sound that I hated . . . at least, not on recording. Then again, maybe I'm just not trying hard enough.

check out this solo. Unbelievable.

I think Wetton could make a "Christmas Package" bass sound good. You know, for $129 you get a bass, amp, chord, strap and a recording contract.

To me the Jaco influence screams on this solo- I've never heard of this guy and I am VERY impressed.
