Interesting bass line. It's Felix Papparlardi on bass, not Jack.

[evanguy]

Hmm, I had thought it was Jack on bass and piano. Anyway, I remember reading that the unique sound of the bass is the result of the bassist using a wah-wah pedal.

@evanguy I have the original album and Jack played bass on this, he played all the songs except What a Bringdown, I can't hear a wah-wah pedal, do hear a fuzz box though.

[evanguy]

@G8GT364CI My mistake.

THis song is a clear tribute to The Beatles, and everyone was left smiling.

The awesome Cream- never to be duplicated, no group came close.

I hear a lot of "Traffic" influence here... which is NOT a bad thing! The comment about Jack's early solo career is cogent and well-taken. Cheers!

Banging my favorite head.....

@evanguy No you were right it's Jack Bruce playing, great playing like always.

The Fender Fuzz Wah for bass. Almost sounds like Georgie boy sat in on this one as well. I love the line about balancing Zeppelins on the end of my nose. Had Zepp One come out and The Cream decide to take a little shot. The Leslie rotating cabinet made Harrison and Clapton almost indecipherable at times although I know George is not on this track. Badfinger made nice use of it as well.

felix papparlardi was playing bass on ´´what a bringdown´´, not in this song

This highlights the differences in influences of the members ; Clapton didn't like Pop or much Jazz, just Blues ; Jack prefered Jazz and Pop, as well as Classical

[JamesParkour731]

Parts of this song sound like 'Octopuses' Garden'

[Flerg3]

love the leslie sound
