When asked about the origins behind Bite My Head Off’s low-end part, Watt recalled, “As Paul and I were becoming friends, I decided to get him a gift. I got him another lefty ’64 Höfner, similar to the one he played in the Beatles.”
“However, I added a twist,” he went on.
“My guitar tech installed a Univox Super Fuzz circuit on the Höfner that could be activated with a switch.”
Unaware of the internal mod that Watt had commissioned, McCartney (who was already a custodian of his iconic Beatles-era Höfner) was initially perplexed by the gift.
“‘This is an incredibly thoughtful gift, but why?’”
Watt recalls McCartney asking. “‘I already have my Beatles Höfner – why another one?’”All became clear once McCartney was told to “plug it in and give that extra switch a try,” and it wasn’t long before Macca did just that in the studio, alongside Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, and Mick Jagger.
vox tone-bender fuzz = '60年代当時からやってた事ではある。
“Suddenly his eyes widened, and he just started ripping on it,” says Watt. “I told him to bring it to the recording session, and he couldn’t stop laughing. I shared the song with Paul the day before, and when we entered the studio with the band, he brought out the bass.”“During the breakdown section of the song, he activated the Super Fuzz switch, and it was complete carnage! Everyone was like, ‘What the fuck was that?’ It was hilarious and so cool.”“I think we recorded just three takes of that song, but almost immediately, Keith and Ronnie were on their feet, and Mick dragged the mic into the middle of the room and the roof left the building.” According to Watt, it was his idea to pair McCartney with the Stones on Hackney Diamonds, and it turned out to be a fruitful experience for both parties.“I think Paul really enjoyed that he was just a guy in a band again with friends that he’s known for 60 years,” Watt concluded. “It had been a long time since he was with equals, just plugging in his bass and doing a session. I couldn’t wipe the grin off my face for a very long time.”

Stevie was seen playing this guitar around 1977/78, whilst in Triple Threat Revue and also while gigging with Hubert Sumlin, and it was supposedly one of his first guitars. During one of the gigs – which happened to be on Stevie’s birthday, Hubert Sumlin showed up with no guitar after a cabbie drove of with his guitar and amp. Stevie decided to give the Rickenbacker and a Westberry amp to Hubert as a kind of reverse birthday present, though it was stolen soon thereafter.
Amazingly, when Stevie found out the guitar had been stolen from Sumlin, he set out to find it and ended up recovering it. Once he got it back, he personally walked into Antone’s in Austin and returned it to Sumlin before his gig that same night. No one can say that Stevie wasn’t a good friend.
ガイドコードストローク及び、合うか?様子見の3連はそのカプリ335を使いました。ここに12弦(360-12)をかますか?はたまた法則(?)に則って6弦でのリードかは一度やってみてからにしましょう。…あゝしかし「Ask Me Why」のあの感じ醸すのにJ160Eがあったらなぁ?は手放しちゃったんで仕方ないですね〜^^;
後者の500-2 Club bassは、どうやら特徴あるスパニッシュモデルにこのPUが換装されてる個体の様である事が海外マニアさんのご指摘で発覚しましたが、如何せん音/ルックス共に素晴らしいからそんな事(originality)はどうでもいい。しかも上海にてライブでも長く活動を共にしたから愛着も一入である。
