He's such a great natural/musical bass player. always love to hear him play.

Great drummer Pete is, lifts the spirit this music does……his love of Tower of Power is evident. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDdVd433IkI[/media]

There are some great little unreleased gems that i have not heard before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndJxYuf0310&index=1&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ Ok not really a find, but great all the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FlQRmYaXiE&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ&index=2

Really so sorry to see this master has gone. really loved his playing. This is him and Bobby Womack. He played bass on this record also i believe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EZVykSFs08

its a 62 RI. great basses. stick a J Retro in it and its smokin. the non export CIJ/MIJ models had basswood bodies, while the non export models were alder/ash. both great woods, but with higher quality pickups etc on the non export models. i reckon £400 around about. Depends on where your selling.

Yep me too Floyd. he has a good ear the man. .

As always Bluey comes out with a cracker.! no wonder I've loved his music for so long. awesome sentimental stuff from the front man. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeYbnYcGDIk[/media]

[quote name='jazzyvee' timestamp='1441446700' post='2858926'] yep that's what I've always done and I'm amazed at the number of players who don't do that and they leave loads of windings on the peg too. [/quote]leave windings on your pegs.! WTF. snips those off now. can't stand it

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1441369938' post='2858343'] I use flats for everything now. Not only do they last a long time, with modern flats it's possible to get a very wide range of tones. [/quote]with all respect, its still a flat wound tone no matter how many flat wound tones you can get from it.. i don't want to be rude to any flat wound players out there, but the voicing of a bass seems to be canceled out by flat wound strings. maybe I'm missing something. yes i probably am. i tried a set of La Bella flats on a jazz bass i used to own, and i just didn't see/hear the point.. sucked the life out of the instrument. a subjective point of course.

put the strings on, and stretch/pull them. it pulls the windings to there optimum capacity.thus pre-empting there natural stretch and going out of tune over time. its a must when putting on new strings for me. tune up, then pull on a string then check your tuning.
