You've probably gotten this question asked a million times, but could you do a video of you playing the intro bass line to the stump song 'buffalo'? I really want to learn it, but can't seem to figure it out...

Haha, love that it's a 'mix' of Kev Hopper. Who's that guy? I've been a fan of yours for over 20 years now, it would be hard to overestimate the impact your playing had on mine, it's an absolute treat to see you play.

Yes, Wal did have a Fender body option all those years ago and as far as I know I'm the only person who took it up.

Kev - hopefully you dont remember when in a drunken haze, myself and Bob Barrs carried you offstage at the Hand & Heart on Far Gosford St at one of the Art Fac do's (1980/81 ?)... to atone for this sin I did go buy yr Stolen Jewels album on vinyl when it came out... check my link and you'll see my old Lanch films.
PS - good to see you have some Back Door favourited... still my favourite band - my dad played sax with Ron Asprey in the Cleveland Big Band!!
cheers

Er, no, thankfully I don't remember that, Greg, although I do remember the venue!
Colin Hodgkinson was a big influence for me and lots of other bassists at the time.

Sorry This is kind of a stupid question but how do you bend the harmonics?
Radia75 2 years ago
Play the harmonic then press down on the (fretless) fingerboard. Slide up/down.
