another great tune.. great bass playing.. i believe the bass is played from his main man Richard Bull. i could be wrong on this.. ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ChOr7ChIog

thankyou.

thanks dude.. i think there might be something else going on has it is starting to scratch alot, and sounding very strange when i do push the knob and shaft in, to try and turn it.. thanks i will ask [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]KiOan's advice..[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]ps. how can i find him [/font][/color]

thanks bassintheface, but i would really like an original looking Jazz Bass control plate and knobs, that is of course if a J Retro costs less than a Fender control plate... thanks gjones for the input dude..

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1363900816' post='2019281'] Are you saying the knob won't come off the pot because it doesn't have a grubscrew? Usually a bit of force will do the trick with those types (mine are the same).But if you can't budge it, I reckon that if you popped the control plate, with knobs attached, in a box and posted it to [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]KiOgan he would be able to replace the pot and get it back to you by early next week. He was very accomodating when I got my wiring loom from him. And his prices are very reasonable.[/font][/color] [/quote]no, the shaft that the pot is attached to has snapped off, so the shaft that is glued into the knob (blimey this is like a carry on film he he) has come away from the pot, so if placed back is just spinning around with no tone control.. i can actually pull the knob out with the rest, of the shaft attached.. i hope that makes sense...

ive not heard of Axetec Zig.. aa..? sorry maybe im being a bit slow..?

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1363892450' post='2019091'] I believe they are al the same shape but I found out the hard way that the holes in the control plate, that the pots go through, are not always the same size. On some Japanese/fareastern ones the holes are slightly smaller. KiOgan will be the expert as he is probably asked this question 10 times a day when people buy his wiring looms for Jazz basses (as I did when I bought one and the full size cts pots didn't fit my MIJ control plate). [/quote]im thinking the easiest (non financial) way, may be to buy a new fully loaded control plate... cant seem to find one in the UK mind..

Im needing a new control plate for my MIJ 75 Jazz.. the back pickup stem has snapped... any clues if Fender do just a standard control plate for every jazz bass.. not looking forward to the price of a new USA control plate to be honest... i should add the control plate i have has no grub screws in the knobs.. so i cant just replace the pot... if i remember the USA versions do.?

anyone know of any good rehearsal rooms/spaces between evesham and Birmingham.. preferably in the middle... just met a new drummer and was hoping to find a studio/rehearsal room in this rough area to meet up and have a jam... thanks for any info.

just wondered what time sig you think this is in.. would work it out for my self but i cant play any music at the mo.. thought i would ask the BC experts..? jump to 1.00 minute in.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeLmVWzRiY0[/media]

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1362857164' post='2005473'] My main non bass playing musical heros are, in no particular order: Jon Lord Neil Peart Larry Carlton --- edit --- Just though what an awesome band that would have made ... [/quote]im with you on the Larry Carlton, his stuff with steely dan among others is amazing..

we all talk about people who inspires us on the bass, but do you have any other musicians who inspire you, i know this is very subjective but for me this guy is just off the wall... imo hes the best guitarist alive today.. very specific to what music i like of course... his playing is magical.. these clips are live at a guitar show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArNNsdDQEaY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1QMKYzO6M who yours..?

its Filippo Rinaldi on bass and double bass i believe

Jean Paul (bluey) Maunick has a new solo album out for those who like incognito.. tis very good.. its out on the 14th of this month i believe.. silky smooth production as usual, great bass playing as usual, here is a taster...

[quote name='Emanew' timestamp='1362526115' post='2000972'] Concerning the neck tint : On the US 62' JB, the neck coat is nitro so it becomes darker rapidly. Not the polyurethane (used on MIJ JB) which remains clear. Little mistakes here : [u]there are a 60's style bridge[/u] (threaded bridge saddles) and [u]early 60's style tuners[/u] (vintage style reverse tuners, Kluson copies) on all [u]US 62' JB[/u]. Here's my 1989 American reissue 62' Jazz Bass . Interesting informations about the VSP MIJ 62' JB i didn't know this version. [/quote]that is a beauty.. those early AVRI 62's are killer..

he/his band had a knack of making great pop records when the brit funk was not as popular as it was....his bass playing on this track, although not his sig tone, is awsome melodic playing. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OmzsxY7OaY[/media]

[quote name='aende' timestamp='1361791049' post='1990745'] I have no idea how you play guitar to Mark Kings basslines......really, I don't.... [/quote]sparcely...

point taken Wombatboter.. records like this make me realise how good the music was... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MbivB8fxLI[/media]
