soul deluxe

one of all time favorite bass players.. this guy is superb in lots of ways.. his solos and general playing is top draw... not as well known as someone like Victor Wooten, but just as enjoyable to listen to.. his slap playing at 3.40 is pretty special imo... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04FXg4sqH1k

smokin track.. smokin bass playing.. spyro gyra at there best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUySTYLqBIk&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ&index=1

always been a special band for me...seen them live live many times, a very interesting interview with a man who created brit funk back in 70's with the Warriors, light of the world, then with Incognito.... parts 1 to 7 can be found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJuiX_xs1V4

excuse my you tube posts buts imo this guy is an immense bass player.. ive seen him many times live, once with Incognito, once with Down to the Bone, and recently at the jazz cafe with the Sunburst band... hes a monster on the bass.. i met him once upstairs at the jazz cafe, and is such a nice guy.. never once did we talk about bass..

imo.. this is a masterclass in groove/harmony playing...im not really diggin the studio version of this... this live version from this iconic album is the best.. the best live album i own im sure a lot of ...you guys/girls have heard this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLUh70zp0LE

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1358695824' post='1943476'] I'm not one of those players that wants to be 'felt'-I want to be heard. I've been to a lot of gigs where the soundguy has put way too much low end in the mix and the bass becomes muddy and indistinct. I don't like,or want,that-I want my notes to be clear and defined. Of course,I want the bass but not at the expense of clarity. [/quote]do you play a jazz bass by any chance..?

ive played many Modulus basses, especially the jazz basses, or should i be Alan Partridge about it and say Moduly anyways they are so precise, every note is just there, incredible action, but i hate to say it... boring tone. its the graphite necked jazz basses specifically.. then i come back to a proper jazz bass, and everything seems easier tone wise. there not close to the playability of a VJ4 but i dont care.. the tone is there.... i know what you mean though.... you just cant beat a good jazz bass... but then there is Suhr who imo take jazz basses to a different level, even over sadowsky, alleva, imo..

been listening to these guys for a while and always impressed.. top draw playing and singing throughout...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu1JKJQXy9A [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38EO72r8zTI[/media] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_e1QiDgTMg
