musically it does nothing for me. but i recognise and applaud him for his vision. he is an artist in the true sense of the word.

Are Sires that good. really.? what preamp do they have.?

you can't have a CK thread without this. written by Prince, harmonica from Stevie Wonder, Rapping from Melle Mel. Synth bass by David Frank. the slap part was played by Chaka. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX9E44mClKs[/media]

[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1448456689' post='2915553'] I just love everything about Chaka! She is hands down the best female singer of all time IMO. [/quote] been listening to her music since i was 10 and shes in my top 5 for sure. I feel for You is, although not so much electric bass, there are still some great bass lines on it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf0HP-Fewvg[/media] this is still one of my favourite Chaka (Rufus) tracks. fantastic music.! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnkUw0OURnE[/media]

Found this. didn't know Luther backed on vocals. [url="http://www.discogs.com/Chaka-Khan-Naughty/release/436110"]http://www.discogs.c.../release/436110[/url] Willie plays on this one. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Uo46Qs638Y[/media] not from Naughty but this is an all time favourite. fantastic bass from Abraham Laboriel [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZEMoXjl-Xg[/media]

i always thought that Glock preamps have a little HiFi.

Not just some of the best music I've ever heard, but some of the best bass playing ever recorded imo. Anthony Jackson on the first (his bass playing is just so wonderful) and Marcus Miller on the second record. can anyone tell me what record Willie Weeks played on.?

Im in conundrum. i adore the 55-02 i own but I'm not sure i need a 5 string, thing is I'm not in a band that maybe needs a 5 string.if i let it go, i want to find the right four string Jazz bass. It has to be a jazz bass obviously, but I have my reservations about Fenders. what i would really like is a Jo Osborne, or a Moon Jazz Bass. don't get me wrong i would take a Fender, but as we all know the good ones are hard to find, and once you have traded, there is no turning back. any thoughts.?

it doesn't take a genius to realise the electric bass has been over engineered. the music is timeless not the instrument.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1447790238' post='2910453'] The bass guitar is just an instrument... just as a pencil is a pencil, lack of development in pencil and paper technology hasn't stopped people coming up with interesting new poems, novels, dramas, sketches, drawings... [/quote]you just answered your own point. the electric bass is a vehicle for your musical creation. as trivial as it sounds, you can't over engineer a screw driver.

the electric bass as an instrument is done imo. what is endless, is musical imagination.

some of the best solo and band drumming I've heard Comes from Billy Cobham, Jeff Porcaro and this genius. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9esWG6A6g-k[/media]
