IMO the work ethic from Japan is far beyond any other mass produced make of bass... this doesnt stop at instruments..i remember watching a film about a Honda factory.. the way they organise there workforce and the thought they put into manufacturing is very impressive. i wouldnt hesitate in buying a Crews bass or a Moon etc..

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1105766' date='Jan 28 2011, 12:41 AM']My blue pearl with the black gloss pg and black knobs looks the bollocks! mm do seam to do colours very well and I have never seen a poor finish on one either, I was looking at the Teal and maple one that was in the fs last week and I thought how nice it looked then realised it was identical to my 2002 the main reasons I went knew was the fact I really wanted the normal ray EQ and alnico pup so already that limited me to fairly new (2008) ones and it was from Santa anyway [/quote]Pete everytime i see yours it reminds me of my old one damn you.. same colour...

[quote name='risingson' post='1105762' date='Jan 28 2011, 12:36 AM']Yes nothing gets past me! Unfortunately my financial position is poor, we've just released our debut album and we're back to promoting it as best we can right now and it involves a lot of work for little to no return. Hoping this will change soon, it's a shame otherwise I would have snapped it up mate![/quote]yeah it was like the the bus was 2.90 but i only had £1.10.. and it sailed passed..

[quote name='risingson' post='1105685' date='Jan 27 2011, 11:02 PM']It's the only bass I'm interested in buying at the moment. The price of them has gone through the roof though! EDIT really like the last one, Paul Turner used the exact same one (colour, piezo, everything) back with Jamiroquai on the 2005 tour, sounded ace.[/quote]Did you see the one for £600.. i would without doubt buy 2nd hand.. the great thing about (among other great things) SR5's is they are so comfortable to play..other 5's ive had like a Lakland 55, or a Fender J5, are a little bit of a stretch..but the SR5 like the Sei, are a breeze..the SR5 was nicer than the Sei for B string and comfort...just a very together 5 string.. everything was there..

[quote name='Chris2112' post='1105717' date='Jan 27 2011, 11:46 PM']If it's a Fender you're after, CIJ is always the way forward if bang to bang is your main concern. Their basses are usually better than the USA ones! But if you're just after a good passive jazz bass, you really can't go wrong with the Classic Vibe Jazz bass. For a little bit of cash, you get a bloody brilliant little bass. I wish I'd never sold mine![/quote]arent CIJ's hard to find now?..Squire's are certainly great basses.. they dont touch MIJ Fender though IMO.. this is an MIJ played by Julian Crampton.. i played this very bass through a phil jones suitcase combo, when i spoke to him at the jazz cafe back stage he said all he changed was the bridge... he had the action very low for a Fender... he said it cost him £500.... this is a vid of that bass..

i dont get GAS (MUCH) these days, but what keeps popping into my mind is an SR5.. i had a fantastic one, but let it go for financial reasons.. it was the only bass i really regret letting go.... The one i had was just an incredible bass.. weight, playability, the build quality was the best ive had, the punch and tone were amazing..... im getting the need to get one again.. Im either going to sell some studio monitors or save... the one i had was on here a while ago for sale... did anyone buy it?....if anyone can remember the sale of my old one can you link me...Was blue with matching headstock.. These are really nice.. my vote goes for the Sequoia Gold Finish 2008 LTD SR5.. just lovely.. or the white... oh or the sterling silver...they were always very good at combining colour combos Music Man....

[quote name='risingson' post='1105470' date='Jan 27 2011, 07:40 PM']The gospel players from the U.S make for the best session musicians because they spend all day and every day just playing and reading in church. Some of the drummers and bass players I've seen kill me, their technique is nothing less than astonishing. It's a totally different thing in the U.S and a massive phenomenon. Anthony Jackson is the king of doing this, worth checking our the end of 'Heed The Warning' by Chaka Khan for probably the most ridiculous fill I've ever heard on record![/quote]i hear you Risington, that is some phenomenal bass playing..just makes me laugh when i hear the fills at the end of that track.im sure he has oil on his fingers....fantastic album too.. his stuff on Naughty tops it for me..

Good call Leroy.. hes awsome.... im gonna post this guy.. his name is Dale Black..you may love him, you may hate him...but what you cant do is deny he is a monster player..i think hes one of the greatest unknown Gospel bassists.. ive seen him doing a slow groove thing too and he is just as impressive... remember...hes not all super chops.. for all you who dont like Gospel Chops... oh and hes not mechanical.. he has an intro, then he shows a lesson on chords and slap bass ,then there is the biblical groove at 7.20..

The greatest thing about CIJ/MIJ is they play just as good and built just as good, if not sometimes better than the USA versions which are over £1000 more..its crazy... Ive had a few USA Fenders, and the CIJ 62 Jazz was just as good if not better... My next purchase is an MIJ 62 RI like this one.. IMO Japan Fender are way way ahead of the USA Fender... in the different colour combos, the (secret MIJ Fenders) the build quality, (is most of the time better than USA Fender's.. The LT editions.... MIJ's are way more exciting than the boring plodding stuff that US FEnder comes out with.......how have Fender not realised this and caught up...?? for me the original USA Fender is looking dreary and old hat..and has lost its prestigiousness... unless maybe custom shop.. they really need to do something exciting and a bit more often...

[quote name='Dazzlovski' post='1098792' date='Jan 22 2011, 04:16 PM']"Pino's playing on this track just blows me away.. im in awe of that man...his note choices make the rest of the music sound so good....what GoWest must have thought, when he laid down this bassline??" Hey Bubbinga5 I'm lovin' the Pino thing...BUT ...have you seen this early version of Graham Edwards on bass for Go West on THE TUBE back in the day. Awesome tone and technique !
