[quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1503669964' post='3360190'] I live 20 minutes away from a lady bass player who played bass for Jet Harris whilst he played guitar. Even more obscure is that Phil Collins once bought me a lager and lime and he wasn't a bass player. [/quote] He played it in the video for "you can't hurry love"

i haven't tried to influence my daughters' music choices. I have music on in the car. They quite like James Brown. One likes guitar and tries to listen out for bass; she didnt really know what to listen out for so I've tried to point it out. We were driving down the freeway in Florida one hot day and I had found a rock music station; They played some of the Joshua Tree; I pointed out, as a clear example, the bass in With or Without you and a light bulb came on as she realised what bass sounded like.

I learned a lot from Scott today - the chromatic up / down note on beat four was something I hadn't spotted before

Thumbs up there :good:

That was also my thoughts when reading this thread

Precision bass into whatever amp there is it's that simple

Why not try ed friedkands jazz book?
