Tiran Porter is one of my favorite bassists.
“Tiran Porter is one of my favorite bassists.”
Mine too.
Took me a few years to find out why his bass work sounded so different. A guitar player who had met him told me Tiran used a guitar pick instead of finger picking. That explained his crisper bass notes.
Porter was one of the guys who was ready to pack it in when Johnston quit but he stayed on because McDonald brought a different style. Tiran finally quit because of the constant touring and constantly playing the same thing.
