Is Taylor using an octave pedal or has he simply tuned down in the beginning of the riff in the middle there, btw?
You mean the intro riff?
No, the intro-riff is Keith. I mean when they start the funky riff in the middle of the song. Darryl played it on bass when they played it live in 2002, but it didn't sound quite the same. I'm pretty sure it's Taylor starting it (before Keith's starts playing his bit).
Sorry, I meant the intro melody. In the middle it sounds like the stings tuned down, and a bit of fuzz or distortion.

I love just about everything about If You Can't Rock Me, but sorry, the drums sounds like knit pins on cardboard boxes recorded in a room full of other noises. His playing is dynamite, but not his sound - at least not to this listener's ears

Jimmy Miller had a lot to do with all of those albums sounding great so without him there was a big drop off until a proper replacement was found. Glyn Johns mixed "Fingerprint File" and Keith Harwood did the rest. I'd have to properly listen, but Sticky Fingers blows away much of what came after it.
I think it's an octave down pedal during the middle and outro. I believe Taylor had the Colorsound Octivider.

If so the original guitar input is turned down to almost zero.

Yep, that's it. He might have tuned down.
It sounds cool anyhow

There is only one rhythm guitar, which is the open G guitar by Keith. The other channel is Billy Preston on the clavinet. Taylor is playing the lead fills, which are overdubbed.
There is a fantastic sounding outtake version, which is clear and not muffled like the official version. It starts with Jagger saying 'let's try to make it regular'.

I know, but we're talking about the intro melody (dark, single-strings) prior to Keith's riff in the middle of the song. That's a guitar, not Preston.

Mathijs
Possible, more logical, but up for debate. The tension of the strings sound 'unnaturally' low hence the bending at the end of the riff.
On Under my thumb Bill's fuzz bass sounds more natural bass guitar. Maybe it is described in the Rolling Stones's books somewhere or the internet.

Also, the way it was played doesn't really sound like Bill. Then again, it could be Taylor playing a fuzz bass
Still, I'm not sure if that's correct...

To be more precise then: That's Keith on a Fender Jazz bass through the EMS Synthi Hi-Fli on the fuzz setting.

He used the Hi-Fly on more songs than TWFNO? OK, thanks
You probably have a pic of Keith playing the Fender bass through the Hi-Fly somewhere, or have you seen it?

I forgot about that device. Taylor said he brought it to the studio for the sessions he was on and recalled using it on Time Waits for No One. The timbre and the way it's played does sound like a bass, so I think Mathijs may be right on this one. Although, I think it's a toss-up between who played it. Remember, wasn't this the album where Glyn Johns said Taylor was going overdub crazy?

When they started dishing out this dreck, it was pretty clear that it was the beginning of the end for the band.
The lyrics are the stuff of adolescent poetry and the arrangement is plodding.
worse than angie or memory motel (the ballads on IORR's sister albums)
i would pay money to never have to listen to it again.
In the middle part that track is up front, and solo-ed out, but that Bass comes back in. As the song builds at the end. By 2:50 that bass is back in. What I had never really paid attention to is that the bass riff, as is, slides right in under the chorus chords.Quote

Not a huge, huge fan but after seeing it (IIRC) in the Sweet Summer Sun close, I appreciated it more. Got a glimmer at the rehearsals last year, would have been interesting.
