[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1062740' date='Dec 18 2010, 06:29 PM']you can recognise musicians by their signature tones. So it makes sense to seek your own. You should have enough control over your gear to get there in adverse conditions. Low beams probably help, break up the ceiling.[/quote] i agree with the OP...MR Foxen i agree and i dont... i think the important thing is to forge a style and personality from the way you play and your pesonality, not your tone..i sound different from another Modulus Jazz bassist because of my accent on the bass...nothing to do with tone..IMHO

Who here doesnt use any effects... i have never felt the need to use any..maybe im missing something? Not that i wouldnt but im just not knowlegable about effects... I used to have a Korg Effects unit but didnt feel the need to use any of the effects apart from a little reverb what are the effects you use the most and what music do you use it for..

My name is B5 and i have a problem posting Soul and Funk.... and general pestering.. grew up with this amazing singer..ok he wasnt next door.... but often overlooked for obvious Ghostly tunes.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUpqRrKh2CE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUpqRrKh2CE[/url] G Benson.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cU2yJaBZqg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cU2yJaBZqg[/url] This is one song i adore by old Rupert..

[quote name='martthebass' post='1059001' date='Dec 14 2010, 09:11 PM']Y'know what I'm gonna say Pete.......Ray5. I've had a few 5s, the Ray has the nicest neck IMHO. The G&L is close but no cigar. Thought you'd had a Ray5?[/quote]ive got to agree with Mart here..a Ray 5 is just biblical when it comes to the B string, quality, playability..no other better 5 have i played..period... i would even go as far to say the ray was better than the Sei..in other ways of course..

That Jabba looks killer.... Not sure if Petes suggestion of a Roscoe is within your budget... nice though... what you want active/passive/\JJ/MM/PJ..?. a Squire is a great suggestion but your not really sure of what your getting, quality wise.. With that budget i would go for a Lakland Skyline.. JO or 55-02..amazing basses.. why not second hand..you can get basses for 1/2 the price...

A few tunes from a great NYC band..some may know some may not....went to see them at the Jazz Cafe and they were smokin.. This to me is pure Jazz Funk..ok with a latin influence...just awsome... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRzo0UKKj8w"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRzo0UKKj8w[/url] oh the flute, the bongos, the incredible John Maron... check out this first bass line in the chorus..and the way he follows the flute... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vSz7GRyujw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vSz7GRyujw[/url] i used to sit on the beach in Bournemouth very early in the morning and listen to this while the sun came up.. i was in heaven...check out his solo at 3.25.. wonderful.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUl8VEOJDGY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUl8VEOJDGY[/url] We the people.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jfpiSU6zjc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jfpiSU6zjc[/url] The bass in this very cool..not the original, but the bass is still good..

right now...This.. what a wonderful song... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDYAXKM828U"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDYAXKM828U[/url]

Erm..that was not as good as i thought it may be.... would have been better with a proper interview with Mr Peterson who poss knows more about Lonnie than Jamie does... hes only got an hour though which is a shame..

Just a very quick heads up..Lonnie is on Jamie's show in 2 minutes..

i used to foolishly i not like sig basses, but i played a US Marcus Miller 5 and it....was.....killer...what a bass quite like the Geddy too but havent played one...i love the red flame maple Geddy Lee custom jazz shop hes got...now thats a jazz bass..! rare jazz basses like that one give me major GAS..
