Extremely close Todd.

But I don't find it surprising that the Gibson was doing the job in the live cancert versions. Even my old solid body Gibson will do a half-way respectable Windy if you mess with the knobs enough....and it's fretless with tape-wounds. This is played with my fingers through my old Acoustic 140 head and a JBL E-140, with an SM58 stuck in front of it.

WOW!!!! That sounded GREAT!!!!!!! Nice job that Gibson does. I have a 70's EB3....I'll
have to see if I can dial in something at least close to what YOU did.

SWEET!!!!! NICE to know I don't need a vintage Fender bass to get that sound.

Thanks Todd!!!!!!

Try and get this sound from the EB-3.

"The Wrecking Crew" played on 'Windy", so, the bass most likely was played by Carol Kaye and Carol Kaye played a P-Bass with flats. And, they used to overdub electric bass with upright or baritone guitar sometimes. So, who knows? You can email Kaye. She answered my emails a few years ago. Also, the 2008 documentary film "The Wrecking Crew", which hasn't been released because of money problems, is being shown around the country at universities, etc. Should be interesting!

Was Osborne part of the "Wrecking Crew?"

From this site:
http://www.richieunterberger.com/associ ... sight.html

"Though the Association had played everything on Renaissance, Howe helped assemble luminaries from the A-list of Los Angeles session cats to play on Insight Out, including drummer Hal Blaine, bassist Joe Osborn, keyboardist Larry Knechtel, guitarist Al Casey, and guitarist/sitarist Mike Deasy. The vocal arrangements were handled by Clark Burroughs of jazz-pop singers the Hi-Lo's; Burroughs had already worked with the band, helping them rehearse their arrangement of Bob Dylan's "One Too Many Mornings," the song that got them their deal with Valiant Records.

Songs don't come any more commercial than "Windy" or "Never My Love," and "Windy," written by Ruthann Friedman, was the first of the pair to strike gold, topping the chart for no less than four weeks running in July 1967. "It had to have been considered for a single right off the bat because it was one of the first things recorded," says Yester. "Most of the stuff she wrote was really avant-garde and very outside. She said, 'I've written this very commercial thing that I think you guys might be interested in,' sat down and played it for us in the kitchen, and we all went, 'Oh God, that's really kind of neat. Let's take it and show it to Bones.' Which we did, and Bones really heard something for it. What's really funny is what most people don't know, is the song was actually written for a guy. He was kind of like a free spirit, had taken a little too much acid."

Thanks for clearing this up, Gov'ner! I missed your post reading too fast. My fault. (But hey, I was close!)
Oh, I'll see the film tomorrow and will report back.

ALRIGHT Mr. Scott!!!!!! YOU are talking about two VERY different basses now!!

Perhaps IF I pulled the frets out of my EB-3, AND I knew the proper way to finger notes on a fretless.....maybe. I STILL don't think I'd get Jaco's sound out of it. ANYWAY.......Jaco, and Joe Osborn were so far apart........guess WHO wound up recording with The Association.......

YOU!!!!! You sunk my Battleship!!!!!!!

You don't need to pull any frets ...Jaco's bass there is full of frets!

That's funny.......I THOUGHT I saw frets on that neck!!!! I just dismissed them as the lines where the frets USED to be.
