although there are some sites about Johns bass guitars and equipment, I'm wondering what kind of 5 string bass he used on songs like Headlong and I'm going slightly mad...can anyone supply information?
thanks

Hmm, I don't think John used 5-string basses. I could be wrong though
Unfortunately there are no photos or footage of those sessions (or there is material, but not enough) to know. I would imagine he`d use a Fender V, but it could easily be something else
I caught you a delicious bass.
It's so annoying that those are spelled the same way. I never know when people are talking about fish or musical instruments.
I saw one of John's basses (ah! sp?) at the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame last month.

Well, when they are 'talking' it should seem pretty obvious. :-P
I've often wondered the same thing. Maybe he just D-tuned his four-string. I'm thinking that's what he did on Fat Bottomed Girls.
Oh yeah... I'm not thinking straight right now. I'm having chocolate withdrawl at the moment.
Man, it seems like everybody is addicted to chocolate these days. It's like [insert banal addictive drug here].
For some reason, I didn't know 'bass' was said like 'base', at least when you're talking about the instrument, until someone finally corrected me.

Well, I was just thinking about chocolate because of the chocolate topic in the personal section.

I think I skipped that thread because the intro was too long. I'll read it now.
I think of chocolate like I think of Pringles. They are really great, but there's no initiative to eat them, and thus no real cravings for them. But once you start, it's great.

No no no...it's, "once you pop, you just can't stop."

I was thinking about that for a while and just decided not to go with the Pringles motto. It was a decision that took a lot of consideration, and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.
