As TM's a shy and retiring type, it was both fun and educational. All this Bootsy stuff makes you wonder why some slap bassists go and ruin it all......[/quote] +1. Bootsy is the funkiest man i've ever seen (not the most technical...but the funkiest)-listen to his tight looseness on the early JB's stuff-you could bottle that funk and sell it (on a Jazz too and not Casper!)! I went through 'playing on the one' university to the point i didn't want to play a note for ages (sometimes not for weeks ) and rather wait for another big one to come round, bit like waiitng for a big wave to surf....gotta surf the biggest groove baba...dig Dennis Chambers did a good drum video too and talked about the one!

I think they're all kinda Jag shaped, smaller lower horn Whats the quality like? action etc Do you know what P.U.'s they use? Where they built UK/Korea etc? ....i'm semi interested myself as i'm missing having a 4 string passive jazz at the mo and can't really afford anything too pricey - i wonder how it compares to my Laky JO5....and i'd have to order online so no try before buy unfortunately. Good find though bro.

Another 3 note (maybe 4 with the mistakes) wonder from our reggae band - Not one for the technical bassists ! And this more dubbier one (Turn your speakers up!):-

Are you playing with a band? I play mainly reggae/dub & funky jam stuff with Circus of Sound, Tru Steppaz (Gig @ Annabels 1st May) & Daddy Teacha and the Rooticals (1st gig 24th April @ Maker Energy rooms, jus over the border in toi Kernow) What ya studying? Would it be a swear word to say i'm ex-Marjon

Hello fellow Plymouthian, although i'm a foreigner too by default

Maybe a voting poll would be a good idea for a venue? Not sure how you set them up though?

Exeter???? Mansons music maybe?

Try some Herbie Hancock & the Headhunters, Parliament / Funkadelic, Dodge and a bit of Red Snapper for a good mix!!!

Reckon black and white would be a nice touch Ped, introduce that avant-garde look
