This is one of my favorite tunes of Mark's; I learned some of this years ago.

David Gilmour of Pink Floyd put out a solo record called About Face in the mid '80's. There's a song on it called
"Murder".

I think it's supposed to be about the murder of John Lennon. Steve Winwood plays keyboards on it and it's one of my favorite songs.

In my opinion, the fretless bass on it is absolutely haunting. I'm not sure who does it.

Check it out if you get a chance.

Thanks Dan I will.

I think that was Pino Palladino on that album. Great song!

Pino is everywhere. What a great bass player.

I'll try to link it here so you don't have to go looking for it. No real video, but you get the song.

Enjoy!

I am hooked Dan. That is incredible. I had never heard that song before. It is fantastic.

Brian I'm glad you liked it.

It starts with the acoustic guitar but the bass is featured pretty prominently, which is cool.

I wasn't personally crazy about the whole album but for some reason this song has stayed with me for a long time.

Brian, Jaco again : On Weather Report's "Heavy Weather" album is one of my all time favourite ballads : "A Remark You Made". This bass is just so touching and sweet... ...on that same album is "Teen Town"

Brian, I expect to you know all of the songs mentioned in this thread on your fretless bass by the end of the week!

Hah! My 4001 is Autumn Glo not your less than favourite Jet Glo (that's my 4003) But yes I do wipe my Ricks (and my other instruments - be nice T) down after use.

Tony is going to go into his music room one morning and all his Ricks will be Jetglo!
