CSN bass player
Fortunato
Anyone know who plays bass in most of the Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young)
tunes? The bassline from Suite: Judy Blue Eyes always really impressed me
but to this day I have no idea who played it. Someone once told me it was
David Crosby but I've never seen mention of this anywhere.

On the album Deja Vu the bassplayer was Gregory Reeves. I don't know
if he playes the bassline from the Suite.

On the first album Stills played the bass parts himself.

"Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" was on the first album; _Deja Vu_ was their second.
Calvin "Fuzzy" Samuels took over for Greg Reeves shortly after that.

Stephen Stills played bass on Suite: Judy Blue Eyes in addition to
playing most of the guitar and organ on that album! I read
somewhere where he mentioned his bass playing. He used a Precision
and liked to rub Barbecue sauce on the strings to deaden them up and
get that "greasy feel".

I had heard that Stills played everything on the album with Suite Judy
Blue Eyes (CSNY?)

I was wondering what, if anything, would happen if I restrung my
4-string Peavey Foundation B-E-A-D. It's not gonna warp the neck or
anything, is it? I really want a deeper frequency range, but I can't
afford a 5- or 6-string bass. Thanx.
PS. Please e-mail me. I'm not sure my mail server is working, and I
need to test it.

I thought that Stills did bass and keyboard parts (as well as lead guitar and vocals) on the first album, including Suite:Judy Blue Eyes. He was known as Captain Manyhands.

Here's an easy, versatile trick. Get the Bass Whammy. You can set a
'string down', like having a 4 string tuned 1 strung lower, immediately
switch back to normal, giving you an effective 5 string bass. Also does
octave UP, octave down, pitch shifting harmony. A really handy doodad.
Abt $199 or was that $129... anyway, cheap for what it does!

On the Deja Vu album, Dallas Taylor and ??? Reeves are credited, so I'll
go with Dallas Taylor. And I agree - I really like the bass in "Suite:Judy
Blue Eyes", too....

I also remember seeing/hearing a bootleg back in the early 70's made in a
N.Y. club (I think) that had Steve on bass with Jimi Hendrix and Johnny
Winter jammin' their brains out on guitar!

Hi, You guys just got me interested in these stuff now ! Would
somebody please explain to me how its done more clearly( I'm not
understanding the above mentioned procedure)
I have an Ibanez SD GR SR800- 4 string, and I kinda want that deep low
B string on a 5 string. Can I just put a low B string on the place of
the E, and just move everything up, and at the end giving up the high
G string ? ( To make it clear, can I have a B, E, A, D strings on a
four string bass instead of the regular E, A, D, G strings ?
Does this procedure makes sense, or am I just being totally dumb ?

The Bass Whammy has a bunch of settings. One of them drops all notes by
'1 string'. So you have B E A D instead of E A D G. The pedal lets you
switch, so you have an effective B E A D G Bass. You can also do octaves
down/up or harmony. I think there is one setting that goes up 1 string
too.

Yah, you can do it, but you may well have to file your nut a bit to
get the larger strings through the slots. You don't want them binding in
there, or else you'll have tuning problems.
I wouldn't recommend it, though. I don't know about you, but for me,
the open B is really too low to use much; unless I do some special
processing, it's just a pitchless growl. C is a little more useful, but it's
only half a step above the B, so it has a lot of the same problems. The most
useful notes on that B string, for me, are the Eb and the D. Those are very,
very nice to have.
Tuning your E string down to D (EADG->DADG) is a quick and dirty way
to get that D and Eb without giving up your whole G string. It screws up
your symmetry, and you have to get used to it, and it's an awfully long way
from G# to A, and you have to learn to tune up or down a whole step very
quickly at the beginning of a song--but all these disadvantages lumped
together pale (to me, anyway) in comparison to the loss of my G string.
After all, it's only two more notes.
Of course, these days I have a 6-string, so I don't have to worry
about that anymore. <grin>
Shalom,

Just to beat it to death:
1. On the first CSN album, including "Suite Judy Blue Eyes", Stills played bass.
It's sort of easy to tell since the bass playing tends to be pretty busy
throughout (typical guitar player <grin>).
2. Greg Reeves was brought in to handle bass duties live and he is on the
second album, "Deja Vu", and the live "4-Way St".
3. Stills also played bass on a couple of early Joni Mitchell albums.
