Unique phrasing, the like of which we will seldom hear again. Amazing ear. Total musician.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='1079077' date='Jan 5 2011, 07:53 PM']I recently found some very dark footage of the band i was in for a while playing Paul Weller's songs. Just a couple of tracks as its all pretty boring (and im mostly in the shadows). [/quote]That was great, really enjoyed it.

That is very sad, one of my favourite bassists.

[quote name='slobluesine' post='1076220' date='Jan 3 2011, 12:49 PM']sorry but you CANT have a frettless thread without Jaco [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I63bOi477cA&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I63bOi477cA...feature=related[/url] C'MON [/quote]Jacos' tone in that is very quiet, what you're hearing is Zawinuls' left hand bass on a Korg. Erskine is a monster.

[quote name='J.R.Bass' post='1076479' date='Jan 3 2011, 05:05 PM']1. Flea - This is the guy that made me want to play bass. 2. Victor Wooten - This guy still blows me away just as he did the first time i saw him. 3. Nathan East - I was a massive fan of this guys lines before i even knew it was him playing them. 4. Oteil Burbridge - Pretty much the same as Nathan, Had a disc of Col. Bruce Hampton, amazing bass playing but always forgot to find out who played on it. 5. Jaco Pastorius - I was quite late into discovering Jaco but i loved his big bang stuff.[/quote]Loving Jaco's big bang stuff too.

Oh dear, I think I may be putting some gear up in the classifieds.

Well, all of the final scene but this in particular. IMO the greatest opera.

[quote name='risingson' post='1075615' date='Jan 2 2011, 07:11 PM']That sounds like a really interesting topic of discussion. I suppose that whilst we would like to think that racial segregation doesn't exist within a musical frame, it of course does, but to what extent is questionable. Neo-soul is obviously deeply rooted in American black culture, the way certain musicians have been brought up and in certain kinds of neighbourhoods I think might reflect decisions that would ultimately lead them to only involve themselves with musicians that are also black. But also I guess it's got a lot to do with the fact that the musicians that are right to play on their tracks have most likely come from black backgrounds, surrounded with blues, soul, R&B and jazz. It's the nature/nurture argument, and that's purely from a social perspective, before you consider technological, economic or political reasons.[/quote]Great post.

Keep those grubby mitts to yerself. All the best J.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='1074859' date='Jan 1 2011, 10:56 PM']The batteries last for AGES! So long as you don't leave it plugged in all day every day (don't worry about unplugging it between sets etc. as that is fine), then a battery will last from one year to the next. My basses get fitted with new batteries every Christmas and the batteries I take out get used in tuners etc and they've always got loads of juice left in them. On occasion I've had a bass in a gigging bass for a couple years (missed the battery change one Christmas in my main gigging bass).[/quote]That's a cracking idea. I normally just lick my old batteries when I'm bored.

Don't forget Fretless, which is the happy situation depressed elephants find themselves in after CBT and a course of sertraline.

What was the robot about? About 7 feet tall. Da dum tish. Coat and taxi.

[quote name='barneyg42' post='1074369' date='Jan 1 2011, 01:59 PM']Lion Brewery in Ash, nr Aldershot, small pub and stage, pretty rammed. 1st set went well, got to last 2 songs (Born to Run and The Chain) and it all starts to kick off nicely. Went for some buffet munchies and came back for 1/2 hour bash before midnight. Started with Livin on a Prayer by good old Jovi and that was it, dancing mayhem all round, rocked up Auld Lang Syne as you do and played a few more throwing in some good old standards and eventually finished about 2.30am! Cracking night, bed and brekkie at the pub so was able to neck a Guinness or eight! Oh yeah.......got paid too! Happy New Year![/quote]Sound as a pound.

EMG's in my P bass, Jazz and KGB headless, the KGB has the same ones used in the early Steinbergers.
