Which Alan is this - Jones or Tarney?
Posted: 14 Dec 2011, 21:59
May I ask for your help with something? I love this video of Riders in the Sky...and I don't know what year it is from...but I can never figure out whether it is Alan Jones or Alan Tarney playing bass guitar. Do you know which Alan it is?
I keep changing my mind as to whom I think it is, and that person's smile makes me think it's Alan Jones, but I am just not sure.
Also, do you know what model bass this is? I am trying to learn to recognise the difference between a Precision Bass, a Jazzmaster Bass, and a Strat Bass, but right now I can't tell the difference most of the time. Am I right that Alan Jones usually plays a Precision Bass? And Mark Griffiths as well? I have heard you say that John Rostill preferred the Jazz Bass. Like I said, I am trying my best to become more educated about these things, and I appreciate your help very much.
Best wishes,
Donna
