Absolutely love this. crisp staccato, percussive funky playing, possibly using just the tips of his finger tips to have that detached articulation, but keeps the notes going when he feels it needs it throughout the record .. and his double stops. just amazing Jaco.

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1450306553' post='2931633'] mark king..... is he all that? [/quote]

Im a huge fan of Mark King and L42. But I've recently posted on a couple of YT videos. I mentioned that i would like to see Mark do some session stuff, or break out from his usual music. My word did i get some hostile responses. Ive been called a bedroom bassist, to a keyboard warrior twat, "don't know what I'm doing on a bass" ? and I'm slagging off world class musicians from my bedroom.? i personally would love to hear Mark do something different, play on other peoples records. he's got so much talent on the bass, why not do something more contemporary.? only my op. It reminds me of people who will possibly kill you if you slag off Music Man basses. They seem to hold that Mark King sound very close to there heart. i don't blame them to a point because its some fantastic music, but its fanatical. Ive never seen this with another bass player and there sound. maybe its a very special sound from there teen years.? by the way my bestest. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twWu-66suvU[/media]

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1450017515' post='2928797'] £1000 for a bass made in Indonesia (or Korea - can't remember)? A bit steep, IMO. [/quote]Why is that a bad thing for a bass to be made in Indonesia or Korea.? why is a bass made in those countries not worth a grand. ?

Lakland vs Fender. ermmm let me think.

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1449995425' post='2928568'] Bub - if you love the Ozrics, then you'll love Hillage. You'll hear the similarities Curtis Robertson Jr on bass [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9ZfQUVNsqo&list=RDk9ZfQUVNsqo[/media] And for some rather evil bass lines, check Mike Howletts devil bass on this... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC1ZqVAA7VM[/media] [/quote]great stuff matey. love it.

i thought you might.

Possibly one of my favourite drummers ever. His stuff with Incognito and Level 42 are fabulous. he's not just a great drummer. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDdVd433IkI[/media]

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1450010918' post='2928729'] Ahah...Andrew posts something where I don't have to go and buy the album... Love GSH....bought the greatest hits a while back but for some reason it doesn't include "Johannesburg".... [/quote]ha ha. you got money saving taste my friend.

This guy was so much more than a great musician, but i won't go into that. Excellent jazz/funk did he make. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARM7HBCMk10

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1449476024' post='2923726'] I thought it was Randy Hope-Taylor. Hard to get clarification on that. I think one of them played on When You Gonna Learn, but the rest of EOPE was Stuart Zender. I may be wrong. Trivia time - Jay Kay auditioned for the Heavies back in the 1990s, didn't get the gig, decides to form his own band and went on to outsell them by something like 20-1! [/quote]I still prefer the BNH's. Andrew did play on a few records. but most was Zender.

Wow. these guys can play. http://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=626500697453352&fref=nf

[quote name='martin8708' timestamp='1449355169' post='2922945'] Best opening chord . B flat sus 2 - Prince - Purple Rain , great great intro . [/quote]Oh yes.

they are just a magnificent bunch of musicians and vocalists.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-V_-vlN5yI

hes a bad ass drummer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY3tzNUjoHc

he sells records because there are millions of teenagers who buy his records. i wouldn't want to take away what they enjoy. i would hate if anyone dissed Shakin Stevens when i was 10. anyone seen him play the drums. ? he's a bad ass on the sticks.

what was his preferred bass to record.? i heard he prefered a jazz bass to his Hofner or Ricky. I'm sure he might of used all them in his career

A long time favourite, seen them live so many times i can't remember. the best was in the Jazz Cafe with Carleen Anderson and Ndea Davenport.. love Andrew's under rated bass lines. the music has always been consistantly good. i do prefer there early stuff from Trunk Funk, to think they formed in 1985 under the name Brother International. such a fantastic band.

The hole is to do with the CNC machine that carves the bass body as well as the pickup routing etc..
