ultimately hes a very dynamic player.... and a very interesting prospective for a company signature bass..?

i dig playing with that closed paw like grip... it gives you a great control over sympathetic string noise..can keeps things very clean..

bejeezus this guy can play the bass.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TAFWwqeHko[/media]

the more i listen to this mostly unknown soul funk band, the better they get... for those who might not know,check this out.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFlju-prEes&feature=related[/media] this is epic bass playing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn5Nz1If1_0&feature=related

Im so getting into my hip hop again.. there is a certain style i really dig... GangStarr do the funky New York hip hop so well.... its a breeze to play too also.. this is smokin.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGdYAunF26I&context=C3d95220ADOEgsToPDskJxSxEZ70Sl2WbguLcNWuKu

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1324492532' post='1474954'] That's funny, I checked out Snarky Puppy the other day and they bored the sh*t out of me, all clearly very talented but it's from a very different world to Dirty Loops who thrill me. [/quote] i totally agree... i appreciate Snarky P mind.. Dirtly Loops are no Incognito but there damn great to listen to.. very tight great music... especially his piano chords

11 stone..

i just spotted this youtube vid from Higgie... i thought it was the best bass playing on a cover ive ever seen on You Tube... totally in the pocket, detailed bass playing....nice on dude... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1TxxCFsyX4&feature=related[/media]

Thats a very classy looking jazz bass.... love the blocks against that smokin pickguard..

why oh why would someone who had a Vigier, who knew about, or owned such an instrument, sell to cash generator.... ? they buy for way under the sale price that you could poss get on ebay... says a little about the seller imo... anyone missing a Vigier..? also who designed that bass,.... a blind man, that control layout is possibly the worst ive ever seen

[quote name='Simon.' timestamp='1324373294' post='1473416'] Hi there, I've got a non-export CIJ 75 Jazz, which I got from John at Far East (the one in my avatar). It's a great bass, but I'm ultimately realising that I prefer a rosewood board, so am a.) looking to get one direct from Ishibashi - and they seem to be able to sell direct rather that just through the U-box, and b.) will be looking to sell my current one. If you are interested, drop me a PM. Either way, I can say that they are fantastic basses! Cheers. [/quote]PM'd

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1324340488' post='1473314'] Hold on a minute didn't you have one of these not too long ago? A surf green one if I recall..... Not sure if this guy is still operating? Some nice basses but not cheap [url="http://www.guitaremporium.co.uk/index.php?f=data_fender_japan_new_guitars&a=3"]http://www.guitaremp...new_guitars&a=3[/url] [/quote]well i had a very old 62 RI.. ..... im after the CIJ US 75 RI.. a totally different beast...'

yeah i was thinking Ishibashi, but its all used, which i dont mind but you never know what the previous owner has done with the neck etc.. also the Yen + shipping and tax costs always confuse me...

wicked... hes a lucky dude, and your a great dad....

Can someone give me any info on the best and EASIEST place to order a non export CIJ Fender... i have been saving for a new bass which was going to be a Nordstrand but im out of patience and the CIJ non import Fenders are killer...., so i think this is maybe where my money is going.... i would prefer brand new but isnt there a place where they are second hand... im after the JB75 US with matching headstock..... im aware of a couple of internet dealers but would like any new suggestions... isnt it Far East guitars and another company i cant remember

Have been studying this particular tune and just dig the thought and execution that goes into it... think ive prob listened to it over 50 times.. Fantastic drumming, spot on bass playing... one of the best rythm sections ive heard.. Steely Dan never dig anything boring.. the music for the most, had so much imagination... never has there been a band i learned so much from... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIX8Avhkv2Q

No doubt this is the best Victor Wooten groove playing ive seen... no slap just his awesome fingerstyle...... some of the best bass playing ive ever heard for sure... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-hyEYi0O-M[/media]

Please can someone recommend me a good album to listen to for a good start.....?
