Loving this, wonderful effects they got goin on.. , That low b string bass groove..

Amazing Stevie played bass line, and what a bass line it is. . [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcPGfd3OPkk[/media]

i think i need a Doctor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R44PkPUEDCM

good god.!!!, where are you getting these bad boys from.?

Oh yes.!! wonderful record Solo. Chuck's bass playing is so cool. This is great also. The dancing is what this record is all about. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFODu0AG194[/media]

Carter B with Victor. His finger style and timing is just out there funky. his drumming is just so sensitive. what a rhythm section this is. !!!! (excuse the credits ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV9v_BB33mk

Prince with Larry Graham Live. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfqO-rt0BDI[/media]

Bar none, i think this record is just…. The sentiment, the groove the soul, his voice, his harmonies. easily my favourite. Little details like "USER"'s there are a few of those little vocal details that make it such special record. "NO DONT MATTER" I'm sure you know this record but WOW what a record.

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1461450634' post='3034818'] sorry but there wasnt a Lemmy thread or a Jimmy Bain or a Chris Squire thread maybe its just me then that doesnt see the need to all of a sudden gush all over a tragic death? [/quote]Its a possibility that although they were all great musicians, they didn't have the impact musically on peoples lives, that Prince had.

sorry Krispn i knicked your post. He's great on bass. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWGo4XKjrjc[/media] And.. [url="http://www.facebook.com/PrinceMuseum/videos/837768719662307/?pnref=story"]http://www.facebook....07/?pnref=story[/url]

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1461484995' post='3034912'] I love all the old stuff but 'Chelsea Rodgers' is one of the newer ones I keep going back to. Such a great track! [media]http://youtu.be/FIVzgOTDJP8[/media] [/quote]Fantastic. !!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1461453069' post='3034839'] +1. It's often what doesn't get played that counts, so important for good groove and feel. Prince was master of space and time... [/quote] you could go on and on about playing bass. i think honesty, a moral compass, that many people don't think has got anything to do with bass or music but it so has. i think having those qualities and then having talent on top ., thats everything for me, timing is the standard that everyone should live by. But playing music right is a lot deeper that just picking up an instrument and playing. i just wish i could play with a band like Prince's.

like Lowdown said. its just fabulous. i played it on Wifes birthday and she's not into Prince . even she loved this fabulous record. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpHxGKo10h8

I don't think so. you know maybe more than i do.? i f***ing hope not mate I'm going to see them next weekend. If Jan isn't there, I'm wanging my BNH signing pen out the bloody window.

Its a beautiful record, the lyrics are fabulously put together with his sparse guitar playing. i learned from his records its ok to leave space in a record, anticipation is great In music. i always thought the best music is not what you hear., its what you don't hear.

I do not want to this thread to be a negative one. its great to have opinions , positive or negative about this guy. but i would perfer it, if was more on the positive side. just thought i would nip it in the bud.

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1461448051' post='3034788'] Nope not got one, not a fan and cant remember a similar thread for others that have sadly passed away, so why him? [/quote]Becuase Terry Wogan wasn't a musician so i thought i would choose this bloke.

He's playing in Evesham. I've never heard of him.? His name rings a bell, didn't he play with Joe Bonnamassa.?

Im aware that he had musical/money/privacy issues . With out wanting to be disrespectful there are a huge amount of Prince records now available on You Tube. which is great for me, because i will still buy his albums irrespective of what i listen to on YT. i think sometimes he underestimated his audience in that way. but i guess he had evidence to prove me otherwise. These are my favourites. The greatest record that had no bass on it. Its just epic, the harmonies, the arrangement. off the wall good. Hi falsetto vocals!!! and his range that he was capable of, His dancing with that woman is just so incredibly good. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfxhRy-iFqs[/media] There is not a lot i can say about this. apart from its just incredible.. His music moves me and makes me tap my foot more than most. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoRciHHeFh4[/media] whats yours

Erm.. this is worrying.. [url="http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/prince-treated-drug-overdose-days-death-article-1.2610568"]http://www.nydailyne...ticle-1.2610568[/url]

Im not quite sure what to say. My favourite musician of all time and in my opinion the best of the 20th century is gone, I'm speechless. !!!!!!! that has really taken me aback. !! Its the only time the death of a musician, i didn't know has upset me.

35 years! and i thought i had been playing for a long time.

[quote name='40hz' timestamp='1461109133' post='3031609'] I tried a set once on my old Yamaha TRB4. I was distinctly underwhelmed! Died fast too. :\ [/quote]Hey thats cool you didn't dig them, but DR's going dull fast.?? i very much doubt that, maybe a bad set. Imo they are the best strings in the world.t. Thats like saying Roger Sadowsky's single coil jazz pups went flat. I'm only kidding of course because its my birthday and I've enough lager to sink many battle ships from ww1and 2
