I was looking at in on Ebay yesterday as part of my Yamaha Bass search

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1381933946' post='2245705'] If you need a not really very local drummer with no kit (well, electronic) and no transport, I'm yer man. [/quote] Way to sell yourself

I'm sure that is true. I've been going to a jam night (and was depping for the house band dude for 3 weeks) and the difference in a few months is huge. Will press on with the soul/funk/disco thing and see what happens. Thanks

I meant on the bass, I'm awesome at song writing

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1381924793' post='2245479'] Write some songs of your own and form a band. [/quote] I dont have the chops as they say in america.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1381917060' post='2245299'] Arrange a charity gig, a HUGE one, get it televised worldwide and invite all your favourite artistes to play. Then jam with them. [/quote] That is an amazing idea, can't believe it hasn't been done before.

then I saw the Dirty Loops video's and wanted to instantly pick up my bass [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjVGJ3YFDc8[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBc7UWZ8-hg[/media] Trouble is I'm inspired but I've no idea what to do with that inspiration. What would you do? where do I go from here?

This has been a week of total mind blowing inspiration. It started with Sharay Reed killing it on this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pATcvr3zAhg I went off searching for some gospel bass info and found a couple of things that I practiced, I'm not sure if I improved or really learned anything. Then KC Roberts got me fired up with this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bZBh6HMFaQ and the rest of the awesomness on their channel. This made me want to start a funk/disco/soul band (which I posted on Facebook and got a guitairist within 3 minutes). Then I went and learned a bass part to Boogie Wonderland. I think I improved as a bass player there. I then spent a few hours learning chords (thinking about Jeff Berlin's words about chrod tones being the key) and scales. My understanding of major and minor scales has increased greatly and I believe some of my playing and note choices has been affected positively by that. cont..

So yesterday I had my world rocked by KC Roberts, I was totally inspired to start a funk outfit with a brass section etc. Today I'm now totally inspired by Dirty Loops and I have no idea what to do with that inspiration

Yamaha BB 1024x

I tried an EUB in Macaris http://www.macaris.co.uk/

Looking good.

I really like it when people properly evolve though rather than just change a little. Michael Jackson springs to mind. Snoop Dogg (although he might have changed his name). How about Kenny Rogers? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhOKhJaM1QE compared to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj4nJ1YEAp4

I've been thinking about this all day, avoiding the obvious ones with line up changes like Floyd and Fleetwood Mac. Try this on for size http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D4YYI8G5EM and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-8K8Hj8bxE

Orange.

I've never been to a church with that brand of gospel even in the south.

Looking cool.

I tried to include as much different stuff he's played on as possible. [url="http://open.spotify.com/user/owen_liam/playlist/4J0KMwu3HUz9u2joumbZ2Z"]Mr Pino Palladino[/url] for the webplayer, or click Mr Pino Palladino for the Spotify URl. It's not meant to be exhaustive, just a snapshot of some of his playing over the years; it blows my mind to hear the diversity and variety of stuff he's done. Feel free to add tracks - it's a public list and I'd love to hear some oddities and unexpected tracks!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1381421852' post='2238929'] My only gripe is the lack of 5 string live, I dont get why he has ERB on the album but not live, the bassist is great and I would have him record his live parts as the album parts on 4 string bass or use a bass player that plays the album versions live too, I know I am grumpy and it is a silly gripe but thats my lookout [/quote] Different bass player wasn't it?

Really great. Superb vision and execution.
