'S ok, no snark detected, and was primarily for benefit of other readers who may not realize that Baxter's most likely completely predates his Guild being recorded.Warning - Snark attack
Would you point out to me where I ever stated that my reference tone was equipment specific? I have found it is extremely difficult to discuss tone when all you can use are words. One way I have adopted to counter that is to refer to something that is recorded and widely available. People may not understand what I mean when I say a "woody growl" but they can all listen to Baxter's and get an idea of what sounds I am trying to describe.
Yep, no such assertion was made but I wasn't absolutely sure it wasn't implied or that others wouldn't infer it either, thus the cautionary note.That said, I can certainly try to remember and clarify that I am not saying Baxter's was played on a Starfire even though that is what I am trying to make a Starfire sound like.
(There's always the possibility of new lurkers who don't know Jack's history the way we do here)
However I think the video below is clearly uses a Starfire and to my ears the sound I strive for from Baxter's is also here
Oh I get that.
"Pooneil" was a showcase for the new bass in many live takes, my personal favorite is the one on "Live at Fillmore East 1969".
This violent agreement thing, it works here, too? :friendly_wink:
