John's bassound

Because when I listen to a dvd I think there isn't enough bass. But this obviously can compare to a real concert.

That's exactly the reason why I don't like Wembley DVD- there's no bottom end at all. Both drums and bass sound extremely flat. Terrible. Same with a guitar- seems like trebble and mid are high and no bass... That's why I can't stand Wembley sound- it's terrible!

Finally someone agrees with me. the guitars have no power at all, thats not only on wembley, but on every MAgic Tour show

ditto, although it sounded a bit better at Knebworth. Just a tiny bit...
Nothing's better than the 70s crunchy sound... ;)

the riff to Stone Cold Crazy is awesome, are the slide notes in Radio GaGa from a fretless? anyone know what he used in the studio for that?

hmmm, good question! really hard to tell. is seems to me, that there are (minimum) 2 bass lines plus the synth-bass and plus the "slapping" part...
Indeed, one bass line sounds very fretless - in this case he would have used the Precision fretless. Well, this "fretless questions" haunt me since a few months. Is the bass on My Melancholy fretless or not? How many percent of the "Jazz" album are played on a fretless? (don't kill me for this question, but I guess there are some tracks)
