Isolation- John Lennon (Bass Cover) Klaus Voormann Fender P Bass

[@davidmontis7259]

Never paid attention to the bass in this song until we worked on this together. It is a great one! Fantastic Sam! Couldn’t have done the cover without you!

[@sampopkin]

Thanks again for having me on!

[@bluesbreaker-u5r]

Love this bassline from Klaus, one of my favourite John Lennon songs!

[@junekamilleelo7555]

Never listened to as many stuff with Voormann on it but he always impressed me and with the songs I know him doing I'd say he's a great addition to any song

[@lptomtom]

Very minimalistic player

[@scat3040]

I love a little Klaus bass run

[@sammyfata-qb7tf]

Underrated gem

[@hobbayne]

Klaus never overplayed. He played exactly what was needed. A busier bass part would not have served the song in my opinion.

great tone as always.. thanks

Great tone

[@ric8248]

Klaus's style was very well suited for this more intimate material oh John's first albums, and it was also in line with the early 70s sound with less compression approach like what Alan Parson's did with Pink Floyd. And the P bass is ideal for this.

Thinking of Voorman’s 50 or 60 year old strings that he never changes on his bass. =)

You're great Sam! Hope you're not isolated today.

I had just listened to this song on the bus during sunset, and it was hypnotizing. What great timing with this video.

[@avYhz5536]

Lovely as always! You should do Wah-Wah on your bass too. Also, before you return the 325, you should try Tombstone Shadow!

[@thedrumdon2485]

Love this whole album - well done Sam and much better than your foray into politics

No regrets, had to do what I felt was right

[@michaelknowlton7512]

Another side of Lennon with his pal Klaus on bass. Would you consider "I Call Your Name" by John from a more innocent time?

[@sampopkin]

Yeah I mean Isolation was written during his Primal Scream phase

[@michaelknowlton7512]

@@sampopkin I remember buying that album with pretty much no knowledge of its content.

Apt post today. I live in the deep South... That being said, great job.

Had to

[@zacharyjohns4565]

Would you be open to doing a guitar or bass (or both) cover of I Found Out?

[@sampopkin]

Yes!

[@CamaradaPedro13]

Sempre soa tão bem. Gostaria de ouvir algum dia o cover da linha de baixo de: "I Found Out".

[@jasonsenator6144]

this is really good. could you do some john entwistle smash your head against the wall stuff?

[@sampopkin]

Oo yeah

[@johnniebellamy5912]

Wasn't Klaus Voorman With Mannfred Man

[@sampopkin]

Around 1966-68 yes

[@EliteOneTV]

Can you cover “ill get you” next?

[@sampopkin]

Working on it. Hard to tell how many guitars there are on it

[@rockyraccoon2817]

On what was happening recently, hope you are doing alright Sam!

[@sampopkin]

Appreciate it!

[@pooman784]

Jumpin' Jack Flash cover? 🙏

[@Churroteca]

Isn't it a pity would also fit in a sad day like this. My condolences.

It sucks that the first two Beatles who died are the two that would have had a lot to say right now. The current situation goes against everything the Beatles stood for: love. It’s may be to hate, but the more love there is to go around, the easier it is to spread, because in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. I guess I don’t have to like it; I just have to accept it. It’s gonna be hard, but all we can do now is survive, as pessimistic as that sounds… Isn’t It a Pity?

[@sampopkin]

Couldn’t agree more. John would have so much to say right now. I’ve been going back to George’s quotes and his North Star was always spirituality and the fact that all things must pass. It feels hopeless right now but everything changes in time 🕉️
