[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1326042596' post='1491466'] A sublime track from a later Chic album. Bernard's bassline is absolutely steaming. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=036Tfy5f1VQ[/media] [/quote]thats killer Pete

[quote name='jackduran' timestamp='1326072879' post='1492021'] I prefer the Joey Negro edit of this but the original is still great. Love the groove in this, fairly straightforward and does exactly what it says on the tin. [media]http://youtu.be/allGAdpPThs[/media] [/quote]good call...

[quote name='M-N-Y' timestamp='1325923576' post='1489818'] Check this out, gobsmackingly good. Rhythm section is insanely good, as is the production and the rest of the musicians. Not a big gospel fan but if this band was playing in my local church I'd be there every Sunday!!! Bass player is Lil Rodney Jones watch out for him!

dont have a link, but his name is Dan Atkinson.. a well known Fender style luthier.. did lots of audio comparisons of different wood bodies.. i would bet thats the thread your talking about? search it on Talkbass

oh maybe im wrong.. i hope its 70's position

wow. this is special stuff.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JlmdW7pW-c

keep up the funk.... check out the 5 string playing on this..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_JYgnpcWn0

reminds me of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ2TxyI6D90

im still listening to it.. puts me in the best mood....yep,the bass line is a very laid back groove with fills to die for... the groove at 4.45 is killer... her scatting is fantastic also.... the original is great too.

i just cant stop listening to that Queen Latifah track.... just wonderful

[quote name='jackduran' timestamp='1325895288' post='1489691'] +1, great tone on that vid. Here's Queen Latifah's wonderful cover of my favourite Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band track, 'Hard Times' (one of my all-time favourite songs). It qualifies for this thread as it's a bit more groove-driven for this thread (though I might give in and post the original at some point!): [media]http://youtu.be/EuByCrbi0q4[/media] [/quote]Jack, you have just hit the spot with that one.. i love that big time..!! what a beautiful woman she is too.

straight up this the finest soul funk ive ever heard... its sooo good... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmYTeD5zxq8

[quote name='jackduran' timestamp='1325810190' post='1488318'] [media]http://youtu.be/s3Fpqrm8wTk[/media] [/quote]that.. is... superb... fantastic stuff...

it is a 75.. but the spacing (for some reason) is set at the 60's position on the MIJ jazz basses

that bass have given real GAS.. love the 2 soap bars with the sunburst...

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1325864901' post='1489057'] That's nice! It actually sounds very like Marcus Miller in tone and style... [/quote]im on your channel there.. totally did..

just bought this lovely 75 RI US jazz.. my favorite combo.. thanks Simon

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1325850134' post='1488642'] That's why I said they're "ever so slightly different" - don't you understand what that means? I don't class a bit of fancy wood veneer & some different inlays as groundbreaking, innovative or a radical new departure in fenders history - it's just window dressing on the same old sh*te. [/quote]erm... ive just seen the price... we are in total agreement.. you have to understand us jazz bass nuts Rhys, we will think different control knobs are something exciting...

i was with a guy earlier whos been playing bass for a while, that i had a conversation with about bass playing.... he started talking about slap playing.. he showed me his slap chops.. he was very talented in (what i call) a slap show case.. basically a slap riff that is repeated over a few bars...... i didnt want to be a dick and show him some slap wisdom.. as i couldnt.. but i know what is musical, and what is musical is really for the chords, feeling and timing.. it should be engrained in anyone taking up bass.. imo....' make sure you play for the music' ... i said maybe he should learn how to turn that great technique into something fantastic like reading music or.. i dont think he wanted to take it that far.. there is so much to be said about the musical approach to slap and i know its very obvious to some more experienced guys/girls, but i come across people who think its some sort of vehicle to attract attention... he was great doing his thing, seriously, he was amazing in his speed and note definition, he really blew me away, but missing the point is very easy when the ego is involved.. there is no right or wrong, but there is music and its boundries.. like i said this is obvious to lots, but not to others

if ever you wanted to hear a great jazz bass tone.. the 75 is the one that delivers .... awsome Badu funk.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d9eydCfTdw[/media]

this is lurvly.. anyone know the price point on these?

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1325702944' post='1486411'] WOW! Such innovation! They're ever so slightly different to all the other Fenders available & use "new" features that other manufacturers have had as standard for years. Still, I'm sure there will be long queues of people waiting to spend their wad on them.....both literally & euphemistically.
