John McLean bassline - Heart Breaker John McLean bassline - Heart Breaker
Posted by: jamersonshook

Video duration: 223 seconds

I love this old track....I think it may well have been John McLean himself who played keyboard bass on the original.
Youtube seems to have started ruining my audio though - there's a horrible sounding compression being put on uploads - if anyone can explain please send me a message!!

PJB Bass Buddy Preamp - P/J sound test PJB Bass Buddy Preamp - P/J sound test
Posted by: jamersonshook

Video duration: 515 seconds

Having spent a week using PJB gear at NAMM, I am biased, but I hope this play around with my P and J basses through the PJB Bass Buddy helps show how cool this thing is. As you will see I set up some "extreme" EQ settings (those sliders have 18db cut/boost)and I think it still sounded great!
And plugged into a bass cab it's the best practise amp I ever heard, too!

I always struggle to play soft enough to nail this fast line, but it might help someone who wants to try it - I've never seen a vid that shows Norman playing it all, and there's a few ways to hit the verse. If I ever get good at it I'll replace this!!

Quick playalong using the Squire Jazz Fretless with the PJB Suitcase + 4B cab. The great Shawn Davis plays the wonderful lines on the original Nikka Costa track. The Squier is superb value, but I'm not sure how long the fretboard will last using roundwounds!
