Just one last thing on "Wichita Lineman" because I love it so much
The song is from the P.O.V. of a lineman, a man's man, out there doing tough work - so then, it's no accident that the 8 bars of solo come from the Fender VI. The bass solo IS the lineman. He's not going to whine and cry like some Van Halen solo. He's a tough solo, doing a simple but tough job. And it's not a complicated statement. It's 8 bars of this is what it is, out on the lonesome road between the verses.
