This guy is a monster musician. Look him up he plays so many instruments. I don't really care for the slap playing.Why guys don't make it more musical is beyond me…[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCopcNpzc60[/media]

i agree some the warbling can get a bit too much, i want music to have purpose, we all look at that aspect of music in different ways. . Ok these woman's voices do it in a more roundabout fashion than others. he he. Lalla Hathaway at her best. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYICvgEKy7M[/media]

[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1490469217' post='3265382'] A lot of it comes down to age. I loved both of them when I was about 10-12 and they were at their height, then I found metal and alternative stuff and never looked at anything with a synth again. I still like it though, nostalgia I guess. If you look through the years there are always a few acts that are 'big', some stand the test of time better than others and even the most popular will split opinion, I still can't see the Beatles as anything better than a pop act with a couple of ok songs, some people would have me hanged for that sentiment. [/quote]it comes down to the word subjective. i don't want to sound arty farty, but the word always has resonance in music and the arts.

Ash isn't exotic. Cocobolo is……………… my favourite

This does solidify my believe and gratefulness that everyone thinks, in very different ways musically

Jennifer and Whitney must have bigger lungs than the rest of us. Whitney is so gospel. her power and control in her voice is just amazing.!!!! Makes me smile when i hear voices like this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1kLnMDPpt4[/media]

You put bleach on the fretboard/neck of a bass. ??!!

Great stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amD2G9Kuu10

This woman's voice is just so powerful and she has so much control. I thought Gladys Knight and Donny Hathaway had a great voice and i love them, but Jennifer Holliday is just incredible. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT5QgXBtiOY[/media]

They call them a game changer for a reason.

ha! i shouldn't laugh. Just the way you said it

Sorry Conan. he has passed away.

Been listening to this cracker of an album today. The first bass solo album i ever purchased when i was at university in Bournemouth. I used to go into HMV and ask to listen CD after CD.. Im sure they used to get a little annoyed with me. This album was one of them. Just fantastic playing from the master. Well Jaco didn't slap.!

Awsome track for a wednesday morning. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTp-TrVCuKQ[/media]

I ordered it from Thomann, and it took 4 days to get to my home. Took it out the box. Lovely tobacco burst with the pearl and blocks. Was in perfect condition. The last two days I've been playing it and i can't find a fault. The tuners aren't great, but they hold tune. If it wasn't for the tuners, i would easily say this is Lakland Skyline quality. The tone of this Jazz Bass is where its at. I thought the LH3 preamp was good. Jeeez. This thing is so great sounding.. Love the sweepable mids. Its just a really great super jazz bass tone. This bass in fit, finish, preamp, neck, is way way beyond its price point. If i were blind folded and played this instrument, i would think it was in the £2000 bracket. But you've all heard this before. Anyway, i missed the boat, but just found it, and got on it.. how on earth do they do it.? This is a phenomenal jazz bass. Plus there is some really cool maple wood on the neck of my V7, tis what i love about wood.. Well i like it.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1489823922' post='3260069'] I read an article in an old Bass Guitar magazine. They were asking questions of 10 top luthiers. When asked about through stringing they all said it makes no difference to the sound. What matters is a good bridge, but and break angle. So non through stringing is good with me. Hope the OP gets his bass back. [/quote]Yep. A whole thread on a myth

I actually think flats sound better on a Jazz Bass.

Paul bought a bass from me, he travelled miles to pick up the bass, bless him and his other half.. Great communication. What a lovely person. Had a great chat about electric bass. Buy or trade with confidence with this guy. He's a good egg.

blah

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' timestamp='1489658064' post='3258661'] So my AZ arrived last week - not had a huge amount of time to play it but first impressions are very good. Fantastic build quality and the tone is exaclt what I was after - the AZ EQ-M preamp is very powerful and it delivers the typical Marcus Miller slap tone in buckets which is exactly what I was after. Pics attached. [/quote]Really cool Mark. Atelier's own pickups. Are they single coilers.? I think you got the sound you were after. sounds amazing.
