sorry to all the kiss fans for being harsh but watching his left hand looks like he only picked up the bass for the first time 70 minutes ago rather than been playing since the 70s - whilst not expecting berlin or pattitucci levels of technique is it not reasonable to expect that after 40 plus years of playing his left hand would demonstrate at least some finesse regardless of the complexity of the lines he is playing?

whilst stumbling around youtube this evening i just found this and i thought i would post it for mister milty's delight and delectation of a rather smashing example of simple stuff being played in the most exquisitiely expressive manner sorry its not bass .... again ... but it is paul jackson jr [media]http://youtu.be/qYbRu8GjCUA[/media] [media]http://youtu.be/hzY3hLGWp4Y[/media]

sausage fingers is no excuse for sloppy technique mr simmons!

7 / 10 but i've only just eaten my dinner

if you're going to wait around til he sacks you then you might as well have some fun any quiet gaps in songs you are hereby given basschat collective [s]permission[/s] instruction to do something to get the audience to pay attention!

dont worry about those expensive west country tutors you'll be able to afford them once you're rich and famous but in the meantime ...

lol

i would only entertain it if he was prepared to meet in person to check the bass is all ok and verify he is one and the same as in t'video before any agreement for a sale or any payment was made edit - buy a good squier and drop a wizard in it and save yourself 800-900 beer/gas tokens

stick your energy up on the status porn thread nice colour ergo!

not bass but to illustrate the point to mister milty skip forward to about 4:25 and wait for the guitar solo - there is a lick at 4:59-5:01 the lick is simplicity itself but in the hands of allan holdsworth the simplicity becomes irrelevant because the phrasing is sublime [url="http://youtu.be/Ibz3xCiTO0M"]http://youtu.be/Ibz3xCiTO0M[/url]

[quote name='bluesparky' timestamp='1404527881' post='2493520'] Cool, am I right in thinking he's the chap who sang on Vai's Sex & Religion? He's got an incredible voice if it is him. [/quote] yes he did saw him at hammy odeon on that tour and he was rather good live too

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1404229826' post='2490544'] What's Basschat's view on this ditty? I was in my teens when it was released and thought it thoroughly uncool [/quote] even when you got a drummer that can play the pattern correctly its still a bag of pants

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1404135251' post='2489569'] Have to say, I am surprised at the number of positive Jack White comments on here. Maybe I just didn't get it? [/quote] the drummer seemed to be enjoying himself
