What all great blues players have in common...
I have been studying up on my 70's blues on youtube and ive noticed on major common factor to good blues. They all had some white dude with a permed afro playing the bass...
Muddy Waters Hoochie Coochie Man http://youtu.be/ERJ3rre99i0 Edit: Been brought to my attention that he is playing a strat... I didnt see it at first bad quality + laptop and *cough* bad eye sight *cough* I will change it from the Bass player to the one white dude with the afro in 70's Blues bands  .

That most that had really great tone tended to get it from a guitar plugged straight into an amp without the Pedalboards cluttered up with a plethora of effects even most hobby players have at their feet today.

They had a really great tone because they are the definition of tone. More than guitar + amp, you had real musicians, with decades of craft, behind that.
It's not that today they have dozens of effects, they don't even know how to use that. |

The white guy with a 'fro in Muddy's band isn't playing bass. That's a Strat. He does have a righteous perm, though.

^^^^^^
Lunchie the white guitar player looks like Bob Margolin, the white harp player looks like Jerry Portnoy. The bass player doesn't look white to me but he seems to be doing OK. Is that cause for surprise or indicate the need for a review of your limited powers of observation.

Albert King Clapton Buddy Guy Bobby Bland Freddie King Howling Wolf Muddy Waters John Lee Hooker Albert Collins Otis Rush Junior Wells Big Joe Turner (Texas bluesman) The list goes on and on. Same ones that existed in the 60's. In the 70's, you had cross-over with soul, Blues and R&B and especially with bands like the Stones. Takes about a 30 year cycle to develop the next crop (NPI).
