    [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1413841063' post='2582745'] Isn't Incognito like your favourite band? You're always talking about them, how can it be something different for you? [/quote] is there a reason why i should know every Incognito record's bass line.? i appreciate them hugely but there not a favourite band. yes its bluntly put and sounds like your calling me out on my playing ThisNameisTaken.? only joking.. its a genuine post about a song i hadn't learned yet, that is quite challenging.. maybe you missed my point. ?

    [quote name='Simon.' timestamp='1413969713' post='2584100'] This used to be mine (minus the East pre-amp), and I can only say that a: Andy is a great guy to deal with, and b: I did a shed loads of gigs, touring and recording with this bass (and case) for about 5 years, and she never once let me down. I loved the feel of the neck on this, and would gladly have it back, but sadly don't really have the need for it anymore. Getting it past the Minister for Finance could be tricky, too... Good luck with the sale! [/quote]Thanks Simon..

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1413799644' post='2581914'] THAT is the bass I've been after! I have two Japanese 75RI natural/maple: one with pearl blocks and white binding, and 60s spacing, and one with black blocks and binding and 70s spacing... and yours is the very combination I originally wanted! In fact, I'm about to put a J-Retro in one of them, just haven't decided which... so yours is perfect! I have a natural/maple Lakland 5502, in excellent condition, with a couple of pickguards (3-ply, a black one and a white one, only fitted with tape, so no holes in the body)... It's a very pretty grain ash body, but it's not a DeLuxe, so no quilted top. I have the Lakland hardcase too, although it's seen better days. It still works, of course, but it doesn't look too pretty. I would be VERY interested in a trade, if you would consider a natural 5502. [/quote]sorry Mcnach really only interested in the Deluxe model. fussy bugger aint i..

    I'm only looking for a trade on this bass.. Fender 75 reissue non export jazz bass. new DR Fat beams, John East J retro preamp. comes with a SKB hard case, 2 piece ash body, maple neck blocked and bound. Dunlop strap locks. great condition, but for a few dings on the headstock. super tight neck pocket. The tone is just sublime. .very clean sounding instrument. for single coils the pickups are very quiet.. I've recorded with it and its silent.. its what you can expect from a Fender MIJ 75 jazz bass with a j retro. it has 70's spacing pickups only made for non export instruments. very rare for an MIJ.. I'm interested in Lakland 55'deluxes, JO's, other jazz basses 4 or 5 string..prefer maple neck, but would like see whats out there. thanks for looking

    haven't learned to play a song for ages.. then i learn to play this, and it really highlight's flaws in my technique… naturally i tend to stick to licks/runs bass lines I'm comfortable with. I'm sure I'm not not alone there.. its a real eye opener when your fingers are forced to do something different.. a very healthy thing to do though, if its not easy its got to be good imo.. as long as its not painful of course. so important to listen to and learn bass lines to all sorts of music.. this track is not the easiest, never seen the point in playing a bass line exactly the same because some players nuances are there own.. as long as the structure is there ..but it does make you appreciate Randy Taylor's superb taste in his playing… does anyone push themselves to play stuff thats difficult..

    reminds me of free jazz.. don't want dismiss free jazz, just sounds wrong to me. no direction at all, not that it has to have.

    PM'd you buddy.

    don't like that at all. it actually hurts my ears.. wouldn't like to pre judge it on the rest of his new recordings though.. I've always judged him like Prince, always the experimentalist.

    [quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1413319401' post='2577165'] Yes, great loss He was classically trained and apparently always felt that he sold out with his recordings. Sad he may not have realised just how good he was. He was at school with Roberta Flack too and did some great work with her. [/quote] yeah i heard that.. my mums favourite singer was Roberta. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcWFOIhY9eM

    Think I'm falling in love is wicked. Lucky Fellow is the classic Leroy Hutson record for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wPQew7hDeQ

    [quote name='SubsonicSimpleton' timestamp='1413211760' post='2575858'] Maybe you need to stop obsessing about trying to find a perfect solution and simply enjoy playing what you do have access to. [/quote]Spot On..!!

    How to slap..

    bubinga5 replied to Rusco's topic in Bass Guitars

    Listen a lot… Practice a lot.. keep it simple and practice slow to get a clean technique.

    Very sad to think with all the amazing happy music he made, he ended up committing suicide from severe depression. very powerful thing the mind..

    WOW.! and what Luke said.

    [quote name='Huge Hands' timestamp='1413072449' post='2574762'] His live album with Willie Weeks on bass is fantastic - and one of the best bass solos ever (IMHO) [/quote]its possibly mine and many others favourite bass lines.. Little Ghetto Boy imo is some of the best playing I've heard ever. Willie is playing on the previous record also i believe.
