  1. I was thinking, the only Jazz song I really enjoyed listening to was a Jazz cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit. They had the improvising sections, but they also had a base to which they were working from, and didn't go off on weird solo tangents like they were not listening to the rest of the band.

    Many moons ago, I studied Jazz at college on a 2 year course, but no means an expert but I'm aware of the different genres. But this to me is [i]jazz[/i].

    The test is how much can you watch?
    (if you make it to 6 mins what the French Connection UK is going on?)[/quote]

    hehe, it was going alright (well not enough to make me stop it) untill the 1 minute mark where everyone, except one of the sac players decides to stop, causes the drummer to go completely off and the guitarist starts making up random chords, which sounded quite like cats being run over by cars.

  3. I'm not a big Jazz fan. Just because I tend to think their trying too hard to be impressive, as if it isn't what they best at, but doing it because they think they should. I may get flamed for that comment.
    Even though I do agree that it takes some skill to play Jazz with a band, and do what you do whilst everyone else is doing what they do.

  4. I've got a Trace which is a few years old not entirely sure how old it is. But I've tired the latest version at a guitar shop. The sound on the new one is alot clearer, but at the same time it lacks character imo. I sounds too clear if ya get me. Though they do have a very large selection of sounds on the new Traces, which helps if you got lot of different basses.

    I'd try both to see which one you click with the most.

[quote name='Josh' post='310170' date='Oct 20 2008, 01:20 AM']The generalisations thus far are ridiculous ones, to say a metal bassist only wants a Warwick purely because of the "War" part of the name is just childish and extremely narrowminded, and to openly say anybody who listens to metal and/or plays a Warwick has no taste is just plain pompous.[/quote]

    You do know I was joking about that, I guess I needed to mention this as you took it extremely personally, as if your the owner of the Warwick company.
    Quite narrowminded to think I was saying that and wasn't joking.

    And yes, I play metal. And I'm really quite annoyed at your previous comments.

  6. Both make fantastic fretboards imo. In fact, my Jazz has a Pao Ferro, and it very nice, quite a soft wood. Where as the Ebony is rock solid. Though, I recently played a fantastic fretless at a guitar shop in Leeds, I didn't reconise the name of the bass, but boy was it nice. I think it had a Pao Ferro neck and fretboard. And normally I dislike basses with the same wood for both neck and fretboard, but this was lovely.

    Just scanning through Paul Gilbert videos on youtube, and noticed the bassist here was using a rather odd looking Rickenbacker. Anyone got more info on it :S

    Thanks guys
