[@woodjackson8424]

I love this stuff ! THIS is what KZbin was created for.

[@christopherbrown5278]

"Dated electronica is my specialty" Ha! Me too... Fabulous as always gents.

[@drawntothefire]

Awesome video, you guys obviously had a lot of fun making this, it was great to watch. It's a shame JMJ was ill, would've been even more immense to have had 3 of my favourite bassists in one video!!

[@Sadsoft]

I love this episode. Was listening to black star yesterday

[@terryperring104]

Shit:- I really miss hanging around with musicians like this. Kindred spirits.

[@jgodin312]

For a momentary click-in-and-out effect, you can get an Electro Harmonix Chill Switch and run the octave through the loop of that pedal, so the octave would only turn on when you have the switch pressed down, and it would stop when you release

[@southgallatin]

such an awesome episode! need to get him back on

[@PieBlaCon]

Enjoyed this, but I wish they talked about "Girl Loves Me". I love the line on that one.

[@yesfan157]

[@jcoriha]

Great idea!

[@rossh6634]

I love this interview! Tim aleays one of my favorite player. Take care the gate is a bit brutal some time ;)

[@jahmark9336]

Nick respect yo for the delay pedal screw cutting thru the metal that's pretty impressive man boss never factored that in I wonder how many times you kicked the pedal in?

[@janhundling4647]

I do that momentary switch thing a lot. There are crazy oppertunities with that

[@chen4621]

Herbie Flowers was the name of the bass player who played on a lot of Serge Gainsbourg stuff. I believe he used a jazz bass with tapewounds to get that great pick tone!

[@momasu]

Yes, and of course Bowie worked with Herbie Flowers on Space Oddity, Walk on the Wild Side, etc.

[@richardjoly2348]

+Chen-Yo Chi And Herbie Flowers played for Bowie.

[@Reprodestruxion]

Chen Yo Chi with john Barry’s band

[@YTPartyTonight]

Funny… to me, for what it’s worth, in the minutes leading up to Lefebvre saying it himself, I was thinking that dead flat wounds and pick 100% reminds of the bass on Gainsbourg’s Histoire de Melody Nelson. Cool album everyone should have in their collection and listen to. That has to be the best reference for style and sound comparison. A guy named David Richmond played bass on that album.

[@punszu]

FANTASTIC !!!!, you guys are a RIOT together, one of the best episodes, EVAH !!!!,...........ps. Invite him back, and you guys just shoot the "puckey", together

[@PedalsAndEffects]

HELLA BASS

[@willjazz1]

[@Reprodestruxion]

[@ivanliptak19]

[@PedalsAndEffects]

That is Ikey and he played in Mars Volta with me.

[@Reprodestruxion]

Cv control and a sequencer

[@douglasxavier1407]

What year is this p Bass? Looks like 70's neck. Body with that pickguard, if It is original, 59

[@BryanPike]

"Dated electronica... my specialty." Classic Lefebvre

[@theelephant2887]

Who is the interviewer?

[@Reprodestruxion]

The band for Melody Nelson was John Barry's

[@JeanBaptisteSallestv]

+René Moncayo It was Herbie Flowers on bass

[@Reprodestruxion]

Hence the walk on the wild side tone

[@pbailey1129]

It was not Herbie Flowers on Melody Nelson. Dave Richmond played bass on the record. Along with Alan Parker on guitar and (possibly) Dougie Wright on drums.

[@madhatter7862]

No Noble?

[@keiramccook]

What was the name of the pino Palladino song he played ?

[@0008890]

Give Blood, Pete Townsend

[@dannster]
