Long time studio rat and lurker, first time poster. For me, the bass track in the song Whipping Post was like one of those paintings that you have to look at for a while until you see the big picture. Much like you, I've heard the song countless times and I overlooked it for years. Shame on me for missing it this whole time. That bass track has everything from a high level of feel, to the sound of the recording itself, to the subtle walks during the choruses (some of which are harder to pick out than others) After zeroing in on that track and having that "aha!" moment in my headphones, I will not listen to this song the same way again when I inevitably hear it the next time. Definitely recommend bass players both young and old check it out.
i said in my pervious post about jam band bass that in my opinion nothing beats the guild starfire bass with bisonic pickups preferably with tube amps and flatwounds in jam community not only specially but in general but i someone in the comments mentioned Berry Oakley's Tractor Bass i am beginning to consider The Allman Brothers' (Oakley's) Custom Bass with the Jazz Bass in the Neck position and Bisonic in the Bridge Position it seems like allmans brothers version of the rick turner/alembic of the dead i know it's inconsistent because of my advocacy of starfire ii bass but it's like said Jerry Garcia's Alligator it's interesting any thoughts/help
Anyone who knows anything about Duane Allman's death will not that he was an exceptional guitarist who despite passing at the young age of 24 left a treasure of work.
Being a musician (guitarist and bassist) I got into them not too too long ago. However, upon researching some of their stuff, I found some strange coincidences around Duane's and Berry's deaths leave me thinking there may be an occult related angle here.
Overall, for those who don't know the quick biography version of the way they died. Duane loved guitars and bikes, he liked to ride fast too. One day (October 29th 1971) he came up on a truck turning right who he was going to pass to the left, as the truck turned a crane ball on the back of the truck, must had hit him and his bike and he died in a horrific crash, as the biking having landed on him as he skidded to a stop, he died later in hospital. Berry Oakley, who was the band's bassist and the "musical soulmate" of Duane, was thrust in the leadership role. He strangely enough took up motor biking and ended up dying a few blocks from Duane's crash site, after he crashed into a bus and ironically he refused medical treatment, but died of brain swelling later on too. He died 1 year and 13 days after Duane on November 11th 1972.
Now it's easy enough to see this is tragic indeed. But this isn't the full story. A lesser known story is a year prior to Duane's death, he was ODing in hospital after taking too much opium. The staff couldn't revive him. A distraught Oakley went tot he parking lot and prayed to God loudly asking for "one more year". A half hour later, Duane came to. This was a full year prior to his death.
An even lesser known story about the man who was driving the truck that killer Duane, was he was driving a lumber truck with a crane in the back, this is the ball that hit him and caused the accident. The man who was involved wasn't away of the extent of the damage initially and it appeared speed and the bike leaving the ground were factors. What really is odd is the man who drove this truck was supposed killed at the age of 24, exactly 4 years to the day that Berry Oakley died (Nov 11th 1976)!
So in this set of deaths, you have 3 of them, all at the age of 24, all following around 1 year and and interval of 13 days. 4 is also a common number. It crossed my mind that it was possible some occult type things could have persisted here. If anyone knew the myth of early bluesman, Robert Johnson, selling his soul to the devil
... keep reading on reddit ➡This isn't it but more of a replica of the Tractor bass. The one in the following video could possibly be the real one though.
I thought it was intersting and neat that the Tractor bass is still around and his grandson currently owns it. Here's a video he uploaded this year regarding it:

And while we're at it, here's an isolated track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIxKyEsMyVM
Berry's a great bass player and worth checking out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqNFwx6QQgY

Where can I find this? $300 budget, willing to pay more if it's awesome. it doesn't necessarily have to be autographed.
Jessica was first released on Brothers and Sisters in 1973. An instrumental written by Dickey Betts titled after his daughter, Jessica Betts.
Dickey interestingly wrote this piece in tribute to the great jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt, designed to be played using only two fingers. Following the single release of Ramblin Man and the death of Berry Oakley, the band recruited Chuck Leavel and Lamar Williams which altered the direction of their sound.
Leavel's layerd piano backing in Jessica was the first of many to really push the harmonic sound of this eras's instrumentals.
Dickey was quoted in 2014 mentioning how he attacks song writing; "I really need to have an image in my head before I can start writing an instrumental because otherwise it's too vague. I get an emotion or an idea I want to express and see what I can come up with". During a writing session Betts' baby daughter at the time crawled into the room and started bouncing along to the songs rhythm, "I started playing along, trying to capture musically the way she looked bouncing around the room" said Dickey.

Little Martha is the closing song on Eat A Peach, released in 1972. An acoustic composition written and recorded by Duane Allman in October, 1971, one of the very last songs he recorded.
From Wikipedia; "The story goes that Allman had a dream where Jimi Hendrix showed him the melody of the tune in a Holiday Inn motel bathroom, using the sink faucet as a guitar fretboard. Remembering the melody during the October 1971 sessions that produced most of the third side of what would become Eat a Peach, Allman laid down the track, joined only by Dicky Betts and bassist Berry Oakley, though Oakley's part would be mixed out of the final version, leaving the number as a duet for the two guitarists."
Such a beautiful song that signifies the legacy of Duane and his talent. Leo Kottke, an acoustic guitarist, was quoted entiliting Little Martha as "The Most perfect guitar song ever written.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The numbers in brackets are the seasons they competed in. Feel free to copy and paste this into a list randomizer or something.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
And now I’m cannelloni
