I find "fake encores" tedious. We saw Hayseed Dixie who made it clear that they wouldn't be doing an encore, rather they would play the tunes the punters had paid to hear/ see in the time allocated. Found this refreshing. Get rid!!!

I thought this was the natural finish (added coloured excepted) - have Spector created this patternation??

All of us - Labyrinth

Martin was for sale on eBay?? Bargain!! Martin built the (invisible) custom pick ups on my Psilos bass - tones absolutely suit the build and for custom pups were very well priced. Would recommend them/him to anybody.

I love the quote from the father in "My big fat Greek wedding" when asked if it was OK to disagree with him. Paraphrased: "Of course not, as long as you don't mind being wrong".

Nonsense...all Bass players need professional support groups... please don't discriminate...😉😉

I played 4 string bass for over 20 years before changing to 5 strings and needed to change my technique when I did. Your progress may be better if you adopt "The floating thumb" technique on your plucking hand - lots of videos on YT. Another stumbling block for newbies is how you position your thumb on your fretting hand. Pointing your thumb UP the neck rather than ACROSS on a fiver certainly helped me.

Though I've never tried to emulate him. Mick Karn was definitely a huge influence. I remember at the time nobody was playing like him - had a style of his own and played outside the mainstream.

Needlegun - Hawkwind

Motown/ Stax and Atlantic were a big part of my childhood/ teen years so that would be Jamerson, Duck Dunn, Bob Babbitt and Carol Kaye, though I didn't know of them at the time. As a big Talking Heads fanboi Tina Weymouth was a real inspiration when I started playing.

When I was at school my Art teacher, Mr Smalley (I'm sure he smoked dope!) had an amazing taste in music and would play albums during lessons. This is where I first heard Weather Report and Stanley Clarke - didn't appreciate the music as much as I do now but it certainly inspired my love of the Bass guitar.

Is this related to the one currently on eBay?

It's time for another Talkingbass podcast! This week Ellen is sitting down to talk bass with one of the most successful session bass players of all time: the great Nathan East. Nathan is probably most famous for his work with music legends Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson and Phil Collins but his CV is ridiculously long and prestigious having worked with artists as diverse as Al Jarreau, Kenny Loggins, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Joe Satriani and Daft Punk. He’s also a member of the band Fourplay and released several solo albums. In this interview Nathan discusses his musical background, his approach to bass line creation and also talks about his touring gear of choice. We'll be having a premiere as usual so join me there or just follow the link at any time to watch the standard Youtube video. Premiere Times: UK 8 pm East Coast USA: 3pm West Coast USA: 12pm Watch The Video Here Enjoy! Mark
