Sony MDR-7506 Pro Studio Monitors. I use them for playing Chapman Stick (full-range instrument) and listenin' to music & vids.

That could be adapted to the Chapman Stick. Not by me, though...

I played "Bassically" with a Morely Wah and a girl came up after and said wasn't that a bit "expanding"? I asked what she meant by that and she said she felt like she "had to go to the bathroom". Don't know if she was dissing me but I took it as a compliment.

"Sound like" as opposed to "copy", Chris Squire, Stanley Clarke, John Wetton. Tried to copy a lot of guys.

When this came out we didn't have a slow-down mode. No 16 2/3 rpm on my turntable. And it would have been an octave lower to boot. Just listened to this earlier. coolcoolcool

Reaching for the handle, bacon in my hand.

"What are you listening to right now"

The Heavenly Music Corporation - Fripp & Eno

How do you embed a youtube vid? Anyway, Hip Hop Lollipop feat. Fantaazma. It's Bootsy, baby, his latest. Fantaazma reminds me of Nina Hagen.

Damn still can't do it. How do you embed youtube vids? Anyway, Bootsy Collins feat. Fantaazma - Hip Hop Lolly Pop. I mean, what's not to like...

Tapped that Madison Avenue bassline. Gonna explore it when I get off BassChat. Listening to Ozric Tentacles Space for the Earth right now...

Dolbys Aliens Ate My Buick is the Most Killer Album ever and Terry Jackson is The Hammer of The Gods.

It makes you feel alright exactly because tutti frutti oh rootie. Wop bop a loo bop a lop. Ba ba.

Scott LaFaro. Tragically short life. First time I heard the Bill Evans Trio and his playing I forgot to breathe and almost died.

Stick Enterprises. Difficult w/ email, but when you call them they are great. Now, if you don't live in the US you might hafta call in the middle of the night, etc., but bizniz hrs., done, done, and done. Jeff answers the phone these days. It used to be Yuta Chapman or Grace Chapman (!) Last time I ordered strings, the FIRST TIME since 1985 (!) there was a wrong string & Jeff promptly sent it on it's way. It was a custom gauge set, but the wrong string was not the "custom" part of the set. Also if some sort of hardware breaks (the belthook can break if put under duress) it's off in the mail NC. VERY small company. Emmett (now Grace) builds them in the garage in Laurel Canyon CA.

Dirty Blue Gene - Beefheart

Thank you for turning me on to Ozric Tentacles. Cool Gong-ish band. As for female bass players, and being a bassist (yes, I play the Chapman Stick but think it like a bassist even while playing the thin strings), I find them just SEXY. And intimidating when they play whup-*ss shenanigans.

Morley.

I'm American & they don't bugger me. Then again I play Chapman Stick so they don't know what to make of me.

Nice mug!

Red Clay!

I always liked Frank Zappa meets The Mothers Of Prevention.

Rahsaan Roland Irk - also put out a 3-sided LP.

I listen to bands/artists for totally different reasons than you do. Just as I'm into the band that I am playing/performing with at the moment, I'm into the newest music and the rawness (and mistakes that go along with it). That's what music is all about for me. I can listen to an album - finished product. I would have given a nut (well, maybe not) to have heard Pink Floyd touring Dark Side Of The Moon before they produced the album. While The Music was still being gestated. Then listen to "The Album". I saw Yes right after Tales From Topographic Oceans was released - before they started dropping whole sides of the album. It was still new and fresh. I don't think Rick Wakeman was ordering curry yet. They opened with the entire Close To The Edge album. What an Epic concert. I know this has gone WAY off the original topic but I just had to comment. And I'm not interested in seeing Yes these days. But I would, in a heartbeat, go see an old favorite absolutely KNOWING they were gonna play music I have never heard before. A True Legend would still be creating.
