Was he a Precision user? Sounds like it to me & obviously there is the Circus performance.

Anywhere anyone talks about having "Keith's bass" when they loaded in for recording? Wonder if there was a single one in the 60's-70's he and Brian-MT would have on hand.

... not sure why it matters but Woody used a P-bass with Rod, makes it a bit more Keith-y.

Anyone?

As with 6-string (or 5-string) guitars, very likely he would have a taste and feel for a variety of models.

Here is in RCA Studios in the mid-60s (c. 1965-1966) with Bill's bass.

Errr... Bill plays the bass on the R&R Circus songs...

He's obviously talking about the supergroup with Lennon, Clapton and Mitch Mitchell.

P-basses are the baddest thing to ever happen to the lower end, I imagine Keith could have figured that out pretty quick.

peace

Forgot about The Dirty Mac. I've clearly been trying to forget about Whole Lotta Yoko ever since I heard it...

I just got one of those “Ask Keith” FB things the other day & that was my question, something like “In the studio if Bill wasn’t there what Bass would you or Mick Taylor use? One of Bill’s short scale Basses are did you always go for a Fender P Bass” in the Rolling Stones Gear Book there’s a photo of a Red Fender P Bass that is Keith’s & these days he favors a Hofner Senator,



BTW RE: Ron Wood, Judging how happy one of my fellow Bass fanatics was to score a Bass just like Woody used in the Jeff Beck Group, it seems Ron used an early Fender Telecaster Bass,

woods bass was an early version of the Precision before it was redesigned around 1957. a Telecaster Bass is it's reissue in 1968 or so.
