Maruszczyk Elwood 5, Delano Sonar 2 band with Bartolini's. 8.2 pounds. It's an absolute beast tonally. It's a superb instrument and a joy to play. Seems have the same neck dimensions as a Lakland 55.

If I was going to New York, Rudy,s Music is the one. Rudy Pensa that is. Amazing place. His basses are my mecca. Check out the website.

Looking forward to it. As long as there is no slow vocal ballads from JK ill be fine.

There is something wrong with the man. Witchcraft it is. The Devils work.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1474071572' post='3135477'] I rarely comment on clips. I listened to the first 40 seconds and turned it off. This guy knows what's happening, awesome ear, timing and groove. I knew what he was doing there was no need to listen to any more. He had taken me to where I needed to be in the first 40 seconds. Bravo! Blue [/quote]Do you smoke weed.?

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1474062071' post='3135430'] Great song but I always think of Money Don't Matter 2 Night when I hear it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pel9PNvxTGs [/quote]Has got to be my favourite Prince record.

Alot of this bassline is improvised from Marq.

Ive heard this record so many times and loved the bassline to it. It's played by Marq (remarkable)Jefferson. Really dig his playing.it's so creative. It really makes the record imo. His playing is so great. http://youtu.be/HBG3hBBiYLk

Fantastic. !!

Love this guys bass playing. He's an absolute monster bass/session player imo. His stuff with Groove Collective is very cool. His playing is just so precise with wonderful groove. Him and GC are just a joy to listen to. http://youtu.be/eM2FF6BaN8w His playing on Maxwell,s classic album is also fantastic. http://youtu.be/Y91V1iDmNto

Maruszczyk Elwood 5. Delano pre, Bartolini pickups. Sounds amazing through Aguilar. Amazing neck. Amazing B string. Lightweight also.

Bartolini,s are not dark.

The master at work Live. His guitar playing is just so very cool. There is nothing quite like him and his music, and i doubt there will ever will be again. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7SJ2UfWkxA[/media]

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1473073360' post='3126522'] OK, so the idea behind the thread... post a youtube vid with no comments. The groove needs to speak for itself. Comments about other grooves in the topic acceptable, just not when posting a groove... Go! (PS Ignore the thread rules as they aren't comments above the groove that follows....)

Says it all. http://youtu.be/1MPKDRqhZ3c

I'm aware PSP have been posted before. I just thought this is amazing. There is no flash with Pino, (depending on your definition of flash of course)..for those who might not recognise bass from an audience ear, he's so subtle with his tone, you wouldn't even know how fantastic his bass playing is. His right hand thumb picking style on this track is really cool. .. Love the switch between time sigs,then on to the 4/4 time, we're he plays some fantastic fills. A tight a band as any...... ever... I do love Pino's understated bass playing.. [media]http://youtu.be/5d7XVWY7Kms[/media]

[quote name='NJE' timestamp='1473266102' post='3128524'] I use Bass, Apogee Interface, Laptop, Garageband and then I can use the Internet to practice whatever I want to. I tend to use Youtube playlists for cover band rehearsals, incredibly handy. [/quote]This. AKG cans also. Great set up and a great sound. Focusrite 24 pro on its way, so amazing sound coming.

[quote name='bassmayhem' timestamp='1419683964' post='2641861'] My old Fender Jazz Bass '78, original from neck up with the exception of refret and new saddle... The original body is led heavy and literally broke my back... The new beautiful body is made by luthier Tommy Bizzotto here in Sweden. (www.bizzotto.se) The body is made of ash and "heavily chambered". The top is flamed Swedish birch. Some customisations: a nice cutout on the back of the lower horn allowing easy access to all frets. The belly cut is made more... mature for a mature player... Why mess up an original bass? Well, an original bass that is unplayed is no good to anyone. Due to its weight (8,5 kg!!!&!) it was retired. Then I met Maestro Bizzotto who promised to make a miracle. The bass is still on the heavier side, but now completely managable. What about the tone, then? Of course it changed, but a silent bass that never is allowed to sing its heart out has no sound at all. Now the tone is a bit more P-bass-ish but still with the bite associated to the late 70's Jazz basses. I've owned this bass since '82 and now it is in my fleet again... [/quote]That is just awsome Wow.!
