no personal connection to the band to note ,, its just that the drummer lost his memory once ? in many ways i "forget" who i am , a flashback from listening to the santana runnin joint, the weapon nice popwell stuff, became signature level 42 ,, so after disco ended 1980 on the USA street sides , there was an era we called Trouble Funk ,, to find a top joint that captures trouble funk i will have to go in the attic dig out loads of tapes & shazham it or upload from tape its like Mark Adams "on something"

splitting hairs with a band who was at the same classic gig ( mildly put ) Woodstock with Larry Graham, & others who is using the robert popswell rubbing "the rubber strings" method, fast its level 42 before level42 guys it was a Geek tune of the day btw , Something that may have become a jingle on Tomorrows World ? had not heard it for years & got a flashback

other peeps are on average confirming these areas ,, 1980 is the Bill Haley, Bladerunner momment,

the mecca type bands had disco favorites , taste of honey, boogie oogie oogie chic, everybody dance (plectrum heaven) & as you say various EWF joints "Not dissimilar to the band which plays on Strictly Come Dancing" ? 100% true, "Come Dancing" was in fact better in the 70s, 100% more user friendly, anyone, any dance couple could have a go & get a chance to seen on TV & its as you say very much a live music type experience even today so yeah 1976- 1980 i saw a few modern ted heath / mecca type line up bands inculding "for TV" at The Lyceum Ballroom, cheers ,, i missed the bob marley gig in 1975 ,

its great, yet you missed out what would happen if you played Chocolate City in say , the middle tamworth in 1975 ? these tunes were played "soft" in hidden bedrooms its why i tend not to listen too much to the modern gentrified bass crew , cheers

The Modern Ted Heath Band ? they could play just about anything as long as was in notation with pick <) this video alas has an old fashioned bassist

tomorrow i will start with The Fender Story ,, starting from mark king then moving directly into why Fender was never the face of "early" UK funk if Fender ever reads this forum, it has little to do with their product being bad, the issues we had were mostly cosmetic, & Fender does eventually win in the end,

i have no internet to download grammerly but hey ? my drum machine finger is still working b

judging from what you're saying its seems the trolls are here , Q, why would peeps go to such lenghts over a bedroom bassist & a story(s) they will probably deem as "all" fiction & do not want other peeps to hear or believe ? the dark side of success, even failure, is strewn with jealousy & narcissism

there are 2 main reason we get bullies 1 # the bully is being bullied themselves ,, in that case, they "often" bully the people they trust the most, or dearest to them & sometimes get forced to bully by their "peer bully leader" 2 # bullies are scared of things many of us take for granted in many cases bullies have extreme intense phobias, to combat their fear they become quassi narcissists, in this way they forcibly manipulate any situation eg i knew a very very very tough bully ,, we eventually found out he was scared/ absolutely terrified of the Dark i guess people who suffer from jealousy & trolls, may resort to target bullying on line = many things, all un related to Bass Chat & this forum

then you woke up only to realize you were born in 1998, yes, there was a band(s) who specialized in the latest pop songs / covers including Disco, playing from musical scores , these bass players in those bands would sight read the score ,, & use a plectrum, >Dang< in the 70s you played vinyl heavy slap stuff like P Funk / Larry Graham in the "UK" ? you would lose your "ordinary friends" who would label you as weird & maybe get a call from the police to see if you're alright, that's why i have a chapter on L.G & how morden gentrified only like him because they can play hair, they know nothing or care about "the struggles"

cannot belive i have 4 whole pages of geeks talking about geek stuff, from eating spuds to cleaning ferrets,, wow before i get into the next chapter on Fender basses i would like to shout this bass player out ,, young guy, a little shy , saw him doing the entire Bowie, Roxy Music vamp in soho recently ,, & yes he can slap little bit Hello Guy

go to your mouse > click back space ,, where may returneth back to Book Worm of the Year fans bowser page , Do not forget you get a free 10 days of Grammerly Free ;D & the latest Alexis Pro "ask me anything" bundle , Power Supply not included ,,

indeed japan ,, The Fender story will soon be read & history on bass chat soon i think i will start the story via Mark King,, Mr Japan Sir

2 people so far are egar to read the story ,,, its a little tough but i am sure you guys will understand ,,, where to start ? ,,, perhaps with Mark King ;D before Level 42

you think i care if people do not like me ? ;D

the stories will kind of sweep you away , but i am sure you will understand

most basses i saw early on were flat wound ,, they had this clunky metal on solid state sound, ,, they could damage your fingers badly if the flatwound split

Superwound with their own bullets ? ,, yeah, we were all convinced it was twang & trebble on the amp ,, yet never understood why i never had flies in my bedroom ??

the dance floors were exciting, think the music industry thing was a drink too big & a sandwich too small, for me especially yes, there was a lot to it, Denmark st 1976 -80 ,, fact No1, get it right , Denmark St was "completely run owned schooled by the Rock guys , everything else was Punk, or teddy boys ,

i remember 1967

College Talk, still trying to steal the crown ,, what you read was "not how it was ,, Marcus Miller was just a young start out player ,, un heard of basically he started getting the extra work After gaining credit with ? Lonnie Liston Smith, The End ,, There are a whole string of DJs who will tell you on average, the same thing, starting with Robbie Vincent , who is probably credited as capturing Lonnie Liston Smith the most, without those kinds of DJs Marcus Miller may have remained un-known or been a one hit type bass player like the guy playing on the Santana funk tune the threshold is for Marcus was circa 1980 ,,

4th time, it also includes why very few early UK street funk bassists never had, or would go near a Fender Bass ,, how at 1st ,, The face of Brit Funk was never Fender,
