[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1425083610' post='2703888'] IMO his playing reached a creative high point on the Abbey Road album. Here's 'something' to get you started: [media]http://youtu.be/IrW7dlDHH28[/media] [/quote]fantastic record.. i was thinking something more upbeat.

Can anyone recommend me some records that Paul really plays around the chords. I've heard some in the past but I'm not really a Beatles fan so I'm not in the know. a drummer friend of mine says he was a real James Jamerson fan.. any tracks i might want to listen to.?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1425030698' post='2703068'] Just another Fender copy. What's the big deal? [/quote] i guess regardless of your opinion on Fender copies. playing one, might answer your question. ?

such a great bass line to play. always goes down well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYKYka-PNt0

i like the slight floppiness that the Fat Beams have because of the round core., ,nice and loose and with a well set up bass you can get some great growl. but the Low Riders have a hexagonal core which makes them much tighter. a super low action you can get...but I'm definitely a Fat Beam man. imo they are in a different league to any other company, when it comes to electric bass strings.

DR Fat Beams imo are the sh*t Jose. DR's are expensive but i love them, and they last for a long long time. best electric bass string in the world imo. just put a set on a Lakland 55-02 and its great. Bass string royalty is them DR's. Low Riders are nice also. For Flats La Bella Deep Talking are really great.

always diggin there stuff. not sure how much Uriah Duffy plays on them.Killer amalgamation. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHgnuw10UuY[/media]

i used to know this guy who always listened to music really loud. i never could see or hear why.

I'm saying this from a, i have no idea perspective, but is there a reason why a P Bass sounds bad soloed,? might it be the player, or just the focus in tone of the instrument.?

I just love this band. fantastic arrangements. i would call it heavily orchestrated disco. great bass playing, great horn section. its just damn funky [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE7iy96y5as&index=2&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ[/media] they were produced by Norman Conners.. this imo is a masterpiece of a soul record.

when this track breaks its just… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6_9IXIMURo

i guess when you get famous you are susceptible to delusion. depending on your character. i don't think Beyonce is awful, by any stretch of the imagination though. she's no Anita Baker or various other soul singers. there's too much money involved that can ruin modern talent. imo. ahhhh. thats better. she makes me think. Beyonce doesn't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hVp47f5YZg

Man this guy imo is just up there with theeee best drummers who have ever lived. Buddy Rich. a short tempered master of rhythm. his drumming is just EPIC. this vid just says it all. his timing is just perfect, his touch is just perfect.when he's slows the tempo and then speeds it up again.. his drumming is nothing short of beautiful imo.

[quote name='grumpyguts' timestamp='1423352861' post='2683946'] My teacher gave me this track to illustrate exactly the point you are making. Don't fill the gaps with unnecessary notes - just be ready for the busy bit in the middle. [/quote]hes a good teacher. i think you can apply this view of bass playing with lots of genres.

[quote name='JPJ' timestamp='1422995519' post='2679365'] I don't know the internal layout of the AG500, but its possible that the input socket is surface mounted to the preamp circuit board. Over time, the action of plugging in and unplugging leads could have caused a crack in one of the solder joints causing the scratchiness and crackling. Sounds like you need to visit your friendly local amp tech. [/quote]ok thanks JPJ. i will look into it.
