I've always thought that classically trained persons could easily do what "we" do (if they wanted to), while "we" probably couldn't do what "they" do. And, I could believe there are some young classical musicians who've never listened to i.e. Bootsy's Rubber Band (probably a good thing if they want to pass their exams 😁), but really? Are there really musicians who don't comprehend any kind of "groove" or "swing" in music...? Are there middle aged classical musicians out there who "don't get" jazz...? Come on.... 😁

Damn, that's bendy!

I can't stand him either. 👍 So, basically, you and Trevor both fancy the music teacher. Ain't nuthin' wrong with that. 😁

You're welcome. 👍 Indeed it is the same La Roux. Reminds me of Yazoo, a bit. 👍 That pro's P bass in the video - does it look like a short scale model to you? 😣

It's right though, and out in the field, from what I've observed, Stingray players are universally pretty bloody good... I dunno what happens when another stag walks in the room wearing a G&L... Probably only one walks out alive. 😲

Euch, nasty... you gotta play on though. 👍

And I thought it was just me! This is good news... Safety in numbers! 😁

Loved what about it? Is it subtle ironic comedy that went straight over my head? 😖

I have just watched the video. It's not the usual SBL clickbait ("10 reasons why you should never buy a Jazz Bass" followed by "10 reasons why you should buy a Jazz Bass"). It' actually a short interview with a sensible LA session player. 👍

😁

You and Maude could lobby Coreen Bailey Rae to change her lyrics: "Girl, put your polyvinyl chloride pressings on, tell me your favorite song, just go ahead, let your hair down". 👍

I'd like a red one. Seems to be a deeply unpopular colour on the internet, but I like the "Woolworths" look. 😁

Did you get it from Argos in 1964? 😁

Wow... there doesn't seem to much info about Hudson instruments online... does it seem OK? It looks nice...

Cranes in Cardiff? Closing down? £450 - £125 ?? What the heck? Have they got anything left for sale? Why wasn't I informed about any of this? And welcome, by the way. 👍

Well, back to the opening post - it seems like what happens when two Alpha males meet. 😁

Oh yes! It works... in the words of Alan Partridge: "Kiss my face". I've unliked your '64 P bass, but not because I don't like it. 😁

Haha 😅 What if I retract some of the "Likes" I spent earlier.... do I get them back... I'll try that, by retracting some of the ones I spent on Teebs. 😁

Dannit, I've run out of daily "Likes" already! ☹️

That's right, last I heard, you could still book lessons with Carol Kaye, over Skype! How cool would that be?? "Oh, so I hear you're having bass lessons?" "Yeah, with Carol Kaye" "Really!? Carol Kaye! Oh my word... excuse me, I think I put my drink down somewhere" "yeah, that's right... run away, ya jive a** mother'******" I'd have to get me a jazz haircut... 😁
