I think you need to be more specific what you're looking for, Latin groove involve a lot and I mean it a lot of different styles. Each region has it's only music and fusions. South American music is very different from Central American and so on. Everything the guys here had advised only covers Brazilian and Cuban Music. I could recommend something a bit more fusion-ed and contemporaneous. Latin rock: - Carlos Vives Specially "El rock de mi pueblo" - Joe Vasconcellos - Cabas Merengue: - Orquesta International - Tono Rosario - Los Rosario Rock & folklore fusion - Liquado - Maracande - Irka y Tadeu - Xiomara Fortuna I'll post some samples when I get home.

[quote name='alibabu' timestamp='1404391250' post='2492208'] Excellent list by Bilbo, just a couple of additions: The fantastic cuban piano player Michel Camilo, with Anthony Jackson on bass. An example of Joao Bosco, first on Bilbo's list: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk_CghlLAr4"]http://youtu.be/Tk_CghlLAr4[/url] The basis of the band in the previous vid is "Nosso Trio" with [font=arial, sans-serif]Ney Conceição[/font] on bass. Here is more with only the trio: [/quote] Sorry to be a nitpicker but Michael Camilo is not cuban, he's my compatriot from Dominican Republic.

You forgot to mention Norman Watt Roy as another Ashdown user. Having said that, all the people mentioned happen to use passive basses, I used to play a MAG300 combo and found that it didn't agree too much with active basses.

Bobby Vega? well I think he is Tiger Tony great.. You know GREEEEEEAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT!!

[quote name='kennyrodg' timestamp='1397640457' post='2425860'] This show keeps getting better ! Enjoy. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMfKewPnwr0"]https://www.youtube....h?v=UMfKewPnwr0[/url] [/quote] That bass sound, that bloody bass sound!! That's real sex on plank of wood.....

Do yourself a favour and watch the episode with Tod Rundgren that's quality all over.

Go for it, it's dead quiet. The passive mode is uncoloured so you get the same tone as in active mode without the boost obviously. The treble is 18K but it's not harsh surprisingly. I highly recommend it.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1394659079' post='2393872'] Headphones have very flat response and a wide bandwidth, bass cabs don't. I wouldn't judge an amp based on what you hear through phones. [/quote] The king has spoken and I bow to the king!

Hell no!!! leave that bass alone. That weird headstock makes it even more appealing and endearing. Don't touch it mate it looks wonderfully weird and quirky.

I got one of those which I bought to use as backup and ended up being my main bass. I love the neck!! I installed a Status MM pickup and a Glockenklang 2 band preamp and now is a monster!!

I was about to tell you to add him to your facebook and send him a private msg. Scott is a great guy and always available. I love the guy and his instructional videos.

Nice, that's what I call a Valentine's present.

Yeah it's great to see Wilko (A.K.A. Ser Ilyn Payne) out there still making great music and having fun.

Loved the sound and the look is superb. I knew there was something familiar in the sound, that Clock preamp is amazing.

It's more like Salsa-Jazz. I can hear little Michel Camilo like bits. I really like it, just mix it again and you have a winner.

I've always said that the bass guitar and any other instrument shouldn't be restricted to a single role. Hey I'm a groove player myself but I don't begrudge players pushing the boundaries. Look at Seth Horan, he's a bass player but at the same time a singer songwriter who uses the bass as his companion instrument (is this the correct way of saying it? sorry if I got it wrong), are you going to tell him that he should just drop the bass and pick up a guitar? I think not, he's doing fantastic music and showing the world that bass guitar is not only boom boom boom bah doom or just root and fifth. I'm quite grateful that there was a Jaco or Jamerson and that we have Seth Horan and Zander Zon showing a different take on bass playing.

Divide the forum into: - Recoding equipment - Recording process - Sharing new music. I would even go further and sub-divide the "Recording Process" forum by Mac, Windows and other. That would help segment the contributions making them easier to navigate. Let's be honest if I go to that forum it will be primarily to find help on my recording ventures. Hope this makes sense.
