Hi everyone, Hope you're all really well - the next instalment of With Bass In Mind's 'in conversation with' series is now published on With Bass In Mind's YouTube Channel...I guess this guy will need no introduction! Enjoy - I'm incredibly proud to have been able to break bread with Victor.

Oh, guys, thank you so much for the mention! For anyone who's not aware - during CVD I launched With Bass In Mind - a totally free bass hub. Essentially it's an umbrella site for my books, basses and tuition..However, if you head over to www.withbassinmind.com - there are hundreds of articles, reviews and instalments of my columns in Bass Player magazine...all free to download, share and enjoy. As part of the new platform, I'm also doing a series of interviews on With Bass In Mind's Youtube channel (www.youtube.com/c/withbassinmind). This Sunday evening (28th march), I'll be publishing a cool hang with Victor Wooten - please come and enjoy the show, if you like there are also interviews with Dave Swift, Mo Foster, Neil Fairclough and Sandy Beales already available... My best, Philip

Thanks Chris! Coincidently, I've just finished my family tree and found out that my surname was actually 'Manns' back in the 1800s...my whole life's been a lie! Welcome to Basschat yourself - enjoy! My best,

Anyone like Queen? There's an interview with Neil Fairclough online if you've got a spare hour! x

pleased you enjoyed them - the rhythm changes exercises around the cycle of fourths were all from my second book - they were based upon my studies with JB in America. Cariobill? That names rings a bell...did you buy a 75Ri Jazz bass off me a long time ago...?

haha - silly bugger, just a bassist like everyone else! Thanks for your support, I hope you like the content - there's tones of free downloads on www.withbassinmind.com, help yourself! :)

I've just published another interview on the With Bass In Mind Youtube channel - This time with Sandy Beales! If you've got time, check it out - we'd love your support!

Bless ya! Pleased it's had such a positive impact on your playing! Keep practicing hard!

Thank you, Gareth - Please you liked it! My interview with Mo was also great fun...so many insights - if you liked Dave's, maybe check this one out when you have time! My best, Enjoy!

If anybodies interested - I run a lovely little bass channel called, With Bass In Mind. This last weekend I interviewed Dave Swift for a YouTube blog: There's some other cool hangs available - the first with Queen's Neil Fairclough and the second with Mo Foster. The .com website also has loads of transcriptions, articles and reviews all free to download and enjoy. By all means, help yourself. Enjoy x

It's the first time I've been on here it ages...already I think I've spent £10k in the For Sale section. Bugger.

Indeed, they were both wonderful basses - the USA defiantly had a little more bit in it though, which, as you say, is just accuracy in the build from the CS...as long as you could get 'that' sound (which you could) who cares, hu?! I know the JV's are lovely, I have a concentric volume fretless and it's a cracker - but I've not had much experience with the MIJ's - but I know they're great from students...

Yeah, as @Beedster said - it's the CS relic. The one you posted was a USA. I have both, and to tell you the truth, there's next to nothing between them. Better woods on the relic, better pickups in the USA.

Yeah - I view BC, it's a fun platform with some cool stuff... I figured it was about time to get involved!

A lovely afternoon purchasing a CS Jaco fretless...time well spent with good people.

Indeed! Very well, working hard as always!

Bless'um - send my love, I hope you're all well! I'm sure your neighbours remember my visit as well....the noisy bugger that I am!

LOL!

Oh why I remember - if anyone's interested, I've got some cool interviews with Neil Fairclough and Mo Foster on my YouTube channel...and there's one with Dave Swift going up at the weekend! 'With Bass In Mind' is a new thing for me, but it's really just a chance to bring everything together under one roof! https://www.youtube.com/c/withbassinmind PMx

I've already seen a Fender CS '57 reissue I want...I don't stand a chance! LOL

Thank you!

Pleasure to be here!

haha - no need, just a bassist like everyone else, thanks for saying hi!

Thank you! (and 'Hi'!)
