Sky – Cannonball – Bass Cover (Best)

Bass Transcription. The debut album was released 4 May 1979.

Sky were an English–Australian instrumental rock group that specialised in combining a variety of musical styles, most prominently rock, classical and jazz. The group’s original and best-known line-up featured two Australians – classical guitarist John Williams and electric guitarist Kevin Peek – alongside three Britons – bass player Herbie Flowers, drummer/percussionist Tristan Fry and keyboard player Francis Monkman.

My bass is a self-customized This bass is a Fender Jazz Bass Roadworn model made in Mexico in 2012 — I bought it used in 2014. I acquired the oval tuners to give a real vintage look…and…
**This bass’s electronics: A few years ago my expert guitar luthier, Luigi Spezzacatena of southern Italy, swapped out the standard Fender capacitor and replaced it with a genuine vintage 1960 Sprague tone capacitor (value = 0,1mdf) to the electronics, so now this bass has got an even more authentic vintage Fender Jazz Bass tone.
Neck pickup 10 Bridge pickup 10, Tone 10.
