Hi

I am a Belgian bassplayer with more than 30 year of experience in Jazz,funk, brazilian, afro-cuban, Congolese( I lived for years in Brussels and played a lot of soukous with the Congolese musicians) and Angolan music. My wife is British so we are often in the UK. Mostly Bradford. I would enjoy jammin a bit when i am there. Can anybody help me? next time I am there is between 25 februari and 2 mars.

Don't trade it for a 15" cab if you want more dept.You will be dissapointed. You better trade it for a 4x10 if you want more dept! I made that mistake years ago.

Hi,
I'm intersted
still for sale?

Play a Fender jazz?

Its not that cheap!
they normaly go for around 500-600 euro!

Wonderfull drummer. I jammed with him years ago. Its always a pleasure as a bassplayer to play with a drummer like that.

A very good excercise is stick control for drums For the R's you use your tumb and the L's pull. And do it like is recommended for the drummers ; each excercise 20 times. You can also vary on the L's When there is more than one L you can pull with two fingers or pull and tumb or double tumb.
Example;

RLLL or RLLL or RLLL
TPPP TPTP TPT tumb under the string
T= tumb
P= pull

Off course people wanted to play the bass before MK. What I'm saying is that when he came around the bass became suddenly very very popular. Before hem everybody wanted to play the guitar or the drums but not the bass. It was already happening in jazz and other less popular styles because of Jaco and Stanley and others but he brought it to popular music and really, I remember this very well, he really changed the bassworld.There is really a time before and after Mark King. But to be honest, I personally like the basslines of Flea more than the ones of Mark King. But you have to give Mark King credit for what he did to the bassworld. Flea also inspired al lot of young kids to pick up the bass like many musicians from popular bands do. But Mark King changed the musicworld completely.(My native language is not English so I hope I don't make to many mistakes)

It is a strange comparison. Flea is just a good bassplayer in one off the most popular bands but as a bassplayer he doesn't do anything special; he is just a very good bassplayer and his basslines are nice but nothing special. When i heard him first I did not understand the excitement. All the bassplayers in the 80's , including me, were already playing things like that. Mark King is a complete different story. I was not really in to him(I was into Marcus miller and Jaco) but he created a style that maybe already existed but not at that level. He really brought something new to the bassworld. And he made bass so popular.Before him nobody wanted to play the bass, after him everybody including Flea wanted to play the bass. His style is a bit dated these days and nobody listens to him anymore but he is one of the most influencial bassplayers of all time. Flea will never reach that status. RHCP brought a new sound to the musicworld but not to the bassworld. Mark King did!
