I can't quite believe it myself. Very very odd.[/quote]


Well I'm shocked. He has produced some cracking bass lines in the studio over the years but this......I'm lost for words!!!!

Hi Terraplane

5 Bassists who made me want to pick up a bass as a kid:

1, John Taylor - Look beyond the eyeliner & in my opinion produced some great bass lines, e.g. 'Rio'
2, Mick Karn - I used to 'borrow' my brother's Japan albums when he was out......wonderful! R.I.P.
3, Pino Palladino - First discovered his playing on Paul Young's 'No Parlez' album.
4, Deon Estus - Wasn't a fan of Wham but loved his bass lines. e.g. 'Club Tropicana'
5, Rutger Gunnarsson - Unsung hero of the ABBA sound in my opinion.

My 5 all time-influences

1, Bernard Edwards
2, James Jamerson
3, Larry Graham
4, Norman Watt-Roy
5, John Deacon

There are so many others who have influenced me: Jack Bruce, John Entwhistle, Trevor Bolder, Jim Lea, John Wetton, Roger Glover, Geddy Lee, Verndine White, Flea, Bruce Foxton, Roger Waters, Guy Pratt........I could go on.

That's the one..... They had a 4 string reduced to £399 by mid-afternoon as apparently it had fallen off the bracket & was damaged! They sold it though.

Angie

Yes I had a look at the Contemprary J in blue yesterday at the Bass Show - it's a beauty!......didn't have chance to play it unfortunately (wouldn't have heard myself anyway!). Very tempted to invest in one but would like to test it out in a 'quieter' environment

Hi there,

Angie here. New to the forum so please be gentle............

Have rediscovered my bassing 'mojo' after giving up for 8 years.........wished I'd never been away! I'm a tad rusty regarding technique, fingering etc. but I'm determined to get back to my gigging years!

Look forward to conversing with you all.
