And with Jaco being dead you still have the opportunity to "make it" and read up on his history thus allowing you an opinion on Jaco's mindless noodling or even go on to be rated as a better and more influential bassist than Jaco himself!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1449883474' post='2927802'] With all due respect I'd have to say "No" to your analysis.I'm not a better player than anyone. Blue [/quote] After 40 plus years of 4 hour shows every night you must be better than someone that only started a week ago surely?! Lol

:-D

Come on Blue with your in depth research into players before posting comments even you would know it is Carol Kaye not Kay :-D

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1449783603' post='2926884'] It's merely who I am.I have no idea where you picked up on me indicating I'm better than anyone anywhere. Blue [/quote] Suggesting (telling) people that do not like Jaco that they must be crap players themselves and that you can't comment until your skill level is at a level suitable to comment when you are commenting yourself (strongly) would in itself infer that you see your own ability of a level higher than those you feel should not comment, that infers that you have decided that you are a better player than those people that you do not feel have reached your required level of skill to comment.

Krist Novoselic listened to some Jaco, didn't like it and decided it best if he stopped playing, John Deacon followed suit.

^lol

Is blue Inti?

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1449704369' post='2926233'] I'd still keep that sort of opinion to myself because to some your still going to sound foolish. Blue [/quote] So basically you are saying is if you don't like him you haven't listened enough yet? I'm not sure I can take enough to get over the crest into the zone of liking his music and there is already so much music out there I do enjoy.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1449705147' post='2926241'] That's great that some young peeps listen to them. However; Do they understand what The Beatles did,when they did it and how they did it. Could they articulate who The Beatles are and where they fit into music history. Those are The questions I ask young people when they comment on The Beatles. Blue [/quote] I'd just rather let them enjoy it!

At what point does there point become valid though? I've listened to a lot of jaco and to me it is still mindless noodling in the main, if I'd never listened and said that is agree its trolling but if you have listened and dislike it that is a fair comment imo?

I'll bet I have favourite players you dont like Blue, in which case would you knock bass playing on the head?

I'm not offended when people do not like my own music, to be genuinely offended because someone else does not like someone else's music that you Had no influence on at all is very odd imo?

There is a Donald Trump thread for talk like that!

The youtube comments on Jaco clips read like this thread. Right old racket imo, Ray Brown could have farted a more melodic tune than Portrait of Tracy!

Are you giving us the runaround?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1449604095' post='2925139'] Man, some people need a good mug of calm the feck down. [/quote] I agree, it's not worth 'fretting' about is it?

Jeez is it really "offensive"? Look at all the troubles in the world and then take stock, is it really that bad if someone else doesn't like a bass player that you like, one largely only known by other bass players, many of them only due to a forum they joined to find out which bass is best for metal!

I think he went downhill after Rockin Robin?

Does it matter how technically good or well phrased the notes are if it bores you to tears?

[quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1448829025' post='2918474'] I only use my chorus pedal on the chorus of a song [/quote] Ah the 80s they were good times

That's a bit harsh just because I don't know what they do, I just plug my peavey amp in and turn the volume up to suit. Us folk players don't use or like distortion but I know rock guitarists do.

Why would you add distortion unless you were a guitar player? Ta

When I turn my amp up really loud It sometimes distorts,would a distortion pedal stop it happening? Thanks, Mike.

I like Hook line and sinker but I dont think he strings his bass like me?http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hook-Line-Sinker-Roomful-Blues/dp/B004BBPKWC
