I saw JC live in a small venue in Kendal this time last year and he was ridiculous. This track N.O.T sounds great though. Anyone know if he plays his TRB basses live or is he using jazz basses? [/quote]yes im a big fan of julian Crampton... was watching a band called Down to the Bone at the jazz cafe, he was laying down some serious bass grooves.. his slap solo was fantastic.... met him back stage. lovely man.. alot of the time Francis plays Atelier Z jazz basses...

i played a Farida in Cardiff, and a US Fender Jazz... if i had to play one recording or live i would take the Farida.... had awsome single coil punch and aggression... i would rather have the Fender for the scratch though

i think without his style of playing and growly jazz bass tone, it wouldnt sound half as good..

always like to play the full track to this one P.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8XfnVPgCsM[/media]

hes the man Pete... Randy id better though imho.. this Francis and co vid is great... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK0ePMkBMzM[/media] the lack of drums really show his playing....

Ive posted this before but i just heard it on a Cyrus audio system of a friend of mine....it sounded so good.. this is epic bass playing in every way.. the groove has so much space for his amazing fingerstyle tone.... Gene Perez is one of the best unknowns ive ever heard... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLJ3RDTvmVc&feature=channel_video_title[/media]

Just got this DVD.... wasnt really into alot of RHCP's until i saw this DVD... hadnt really listened to a huge amount... This DVD was a cracking purchase.. after a small blunt i watched this all the way through.. now i get how good Flea is..

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1321027921' post='1434588'] IME they all sound different, because pretty much every one has different, woods, pickups and pre-amps. The J-style basses vary even more since some have the traditional bolt-on neck construction and others are neck through. [/quote]Yeah there all very diiferent in tone... the Sei ergonomics are amazing though.... the necks are lovely.. wish i never had sold mine.... bummer....

nope, but i reckon i will get there soon... PM,d Pete...

Love the quiz on Study for bass clef.. a great way of memorising staff notes..... Does anyone know of a similar quiz for learning the notes on the fret board... i could do with brushing up and getting quicker.... would this work?

[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1320519590' post='1427972'] Thanks again Andy for posting more amazing stuff. My only (extremely slight) bugbear with James Brown's live stuff is the tempos being much faster than the originals. Sex Machine is one of my favourite all-time tracks, but it just doesn't work for me at the live tempo. [/quote] ...i know what you mean Pete.. some JB tracks just dont work at a faster tempo.. almost rushed through the tracks to get the gig over with....., but Cold Sweat is an exception.. imo.. it almost turns into a different track.... the highlight for me is Maceos total killer sax....

sh*te..!!

this is THE best JB Maceo track ive ever heard.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwcH5fvFQ0M&feature=related

there was funk flowing through that guy... the way he moves..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21yFiTOTDt0&feature=related

Just love the way the trumpet players make the theatrical effort to spin there instruments.... you dont get stuff like that these days.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I1Gi2ZHy84&feature=relmfu

yep that grooves... fabulous bass playing and fat punchy tone. wonder what the bass is..?

i never knew why people are asking so much for MM's while others are asking 200-300 ponds less for a Japanese jazz? they were the same price ish back then and yjey are the same price ish now..

this is epic.. with no doubt this is a tight live band.. Maceo's sax solo is very good at 1.25.. hes got the groove that man...... all round great live funk... JB aint bad either... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni5ELUVM2eI
