    Ok, I’ll give you inspiration but there’s a whole difference between being inspired by something, and just using it as a loop behind a vocal

    It goes far beyond "inspiration" - most musical genres have their own rules that tend to be followed, even by people who refuse to admit it.

    That's why you don't tend to hear any 7 bar blues.

    Bit harsh, you might not like his music, but there's no way you can deny he's a talented musician who fronts one of the most popular bands of the last decade, all while playing "real" instruments, occasionally with a broken leg.

    I was referring to Nirvana.

    I don't like Foo Fighters either mind, and I've never equated "popular" with "good"

     "Musicians should go to a yard sale and buy and old ******** drum set and get in their garage and just suck. And get their friends to come in and they'll suck, too. And then they'll ******** start playing and they'll have the best time they've ever had in their lives and then all of a sudden they'll become Nirvana. Because that's exactly what happened with Nirvana. Just a bunch of guys that had some ****** old instruments and they got together and started playing some noisy-donkey ****, and they became the biggest band in the world. That can happen again! You don't need a ******* computer or the internet or The Voice or American Idol."

    Ah, that would explain why some bass players wear gloves. Leave no prints and all that.

    That's right.

    If it wasn't for the gloves Scott Devine would have been arrested for being really irritating a long time ago.

    It took me years untilI realised that sticky backed plastic meant sellotape

    Not correct. Sticky backed plastic was Fablon or something similar., but being the BBC they weren't allowed to use product names.

    I don't want to argue but you've only said what you weren't using up to now.

     

    I seem to recall an early interview with Mark King somewhere he talks about the ergonomics of a Fender not being conducive to slap bass. Didn't Jaydee basses have some groove on them, to accommodate the plucking by the right hand? probably totally wrong but I have that vague memory.

    The series two basses have what became known as the "Funk Groove", but Mark's original Jaydee didn't have this feature.

    Having owned many basses over the years, including a series two Jaydee, I can honestly say I never found the funk groove to make any difference whatsoever, and I used to play a LOT of slap.

    I stopped coming on here for a while. I'm back to lurking and the very occasional post now

    I only recently came back on here after a few years of not bothering.

    Nothings really changed on here.
