[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1432348927' post='2780743'] I'm just stunned you've hung on to it for this long! I presume PM's went unanswered? Is it worth naming the individual in case someone else here knows him and can give him a nudge? [/quote]i have messaged him many times. he's a cat that is well known. he hasn't got back to me. i don't want to get rid of the bass without his say so. but its got to a point that i have no choice. .

I've got to be honest i played it. and its a piece if sh*t set up wise. great bass but it plays very badly. this bass will be for sale soon.

2 years ago i picked up a bass for a guy who bought a bass from the Gloucester area. he posted, could a BCer pick it up for him.. not sure if anyone can remember the post. anyway i did . i travelled 15 miles to pick it up for him. i kept the bass in a hard case. i did that for about a year and a half. i can't put instruments in the loft because of the cold. so have to keep them in the music room and we just don't have room. nearly 3 years later, i still have the bass. my wife is getting a little pissed off, as am i.. he's a top bloke, but i don't know what to do with this bass. I'm hoping he has seen this, and it gives him a kick up the arse… if not its for sale.. you have been warned.

From Gang Starr fame, for those who might not know. I got this album a few days ago. its killer Primo. i love some funk in my Hip Hop and Premier does this to perfection. i think he's got old school funk in his veins. his skill on the decks is really cool. its why i loved Gang Starr so much. RIP Guru. i love this style of head bobbing hip hop, but apart from Guru's lyrical style and lyrics, he was the driving force musically. great albums 1 and 2.

[quote name='McBass' timestamp='1432284746' post='2779953'] Thanks for the inspiration... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lCN3A_vbGU[/media] [/quote]such a fantastic record that. has Quincy Jones all over it. really nice finger style groove from Louis.

Oh man thats sad.. what an inspiration he was.. Easily one of my favourite bass players.

[quote name='ChunkyMunky' timestamp='1432249989' post='2779803'] There's something a bit 'quacky' about the tones. I know that's rich coming from a guy whose exclusively plays a Musicman and all... [/quote]Quacky.? what like a duck. thats a new one I've not heard before.

i always thought its best to concentrate on playing from the B string. don't treat it like a 4 string with an extra string. really get to know all those notes on the B string.

ha ha ha ha. ! that made me laugh out loud. .i love them little furry mothers.

I didn't take it that way Kevin at all. thanks girls/guys. let this episode drift away like a bad Bross record.

i posted a thread about Roberto Salomone and his playalong. . and probably came across as a pompous twat with my over bearing views on how a bass line should be played. in real life I'm not said pompous twat, i was just having a bad morning. i wouldn't like any of you girls/guys to think i was, said pompous twat. he's a great bass player, but I'm a stickler for an Incognito bassline. and i still think he over plays, but i should have looked a bit deeper. i value everyones opinion on BC, and do learn a lot from you guys anyways. Have a great weekend.

[quote name='AntLockyer' timestamp='1431776592' post='2774839'] This one The original post was fine from a critique of the style. When it just gets to be highlighting someones timing issues it saddens me. [/quote]jeez. is it that bad to call someones timing.? i can't see a problem. i could take it on the chin if my timing is out. i haven't offended his family bud.

This is old but it is very cool. Raphael Sadidiq on a P Bass magic. the singer on keys at the end is just something else. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDsHJW5E1zk[/media]

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1431776016' post='2774832'] This more my kind of thing with regards to funky, 16th note machine gunning! Ass kicking, exciting. The song, not just the bass playing! [media]http://youtu.be/tdZZt9jd6v0[/media] [/quote]that is very cool.! Maceo Parker on sax. nice one Lord Sausage. made my afternoon.

his 16th note machine gun still doesn't sit right with me.

let me start again. sorry about my post. wasn't what i intended LS. as for my OP. i was talking about a guy in with the best intentions. its ok to have an opinion about someone, without it the dreaded "criticise" word coming into it.

i get bored of country and western. doesn't mean i can't find something inspirational about the music with new artists.. that attitude says more about the person than the music.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1431770377' post='2774749'] So, excuse my ignorance here, is the guy NOT just doing a play along then? [/quote]looks like he's doing a playalong.

which post made you feel uncomfortable and sad,? anyways no probs buddy.

just for reference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTZg-dTUrV0

im a little surprised that know one can hear the drumming and where he places his first notes. never mind. i guess his busy bass lines are not to my taste. it would be boring if we all liked the same thing.

can anyone recommend any other band in this vein? Metalica.? I'm aware of Body Count, but I'm a little lost apart from that.

[quote name='AntLockyer' timestamp='1431765509' post='2774685'] You should record a battle video of you doing the song post it to Youtube and show him who is boss. [/quote]it was just an observation. maybe save the sarcasm for some other chump... i was just pointing out some something that Thurbs might not have heard. maybe i should have worded it better.
