    Posted · Edited by bubinga5

    yes its me waffling on about a band i like again........but.....just wanted to post some Incognito tunes who may havent heard of some new, ish stuff... or post the word for those who dont..or bore everyone else...

    me and my sister and mother love this band so much...always cutting edge on the soul funk scene for me..always good production with a killer brass section!!.. there just unique (ok not that unique) and they do what they do better than anyone in the world......makes me proud to love jazz funk soul and be british..fantastic soul jazz thats better than any US band imo..

    i spoke with Bluey once and he said his main aim is bringing out his own sound as a band and his arranging, which i think hes a master at...

    class bass playing as always... J Crampton and RHT being the highlight as always..the guys are incredible...

    'Solar Fire' Randy's bass playing boggles the mind with his super 16th note groove

    I think every mainstream bass builder should do this Lojo...its the most obvious thing to do as a builder surely.......How are players suppose to know what your basses sound like if you dont advertise it?? For example if i wanted to buy a Modulus, how am i going to know what one sounds like??? im baffld as to why builders such as Sadowsky dont offer this on there site...maybe im missing something..

    ok some of the custom builders may find it difficult because of the variations of pickups/woods etc...but the more mainstream makers should be doing this..

    Fantastic Meshell vid..great great band!!!

    Why aren't there any funk/disco pub bands?

    [quote name='xgsjx' post='772202' date='Mar 11 2010, 10:27 PM']I think it's probably a lot easier for bands to play good rock music than it is to play funk or jazz well as a band.
    That's not a bad thing, just getting a good funk or jazz sound is a difficult thing to do in a pub.[/quote]This maybe depends on the band...they are no easier/harder than each other if you play and are good at that genre.....some funk is easier to play than some rock..ive played some Zep or Billy Cox and Jimi H.. and its way harder remembering the lines etc.. (although some Zep is damn funky)...if you naturally play funk its easy, but if its not your bag or you dont have the feel it may be harder...

    I was in a Reggae band and found it hard...but i dont listen to Reggae so that prob didnt help...

    [quote name='Linus27' post='772195' date='Mar 11 2010, 10:15 PM']I guess kind of but all my basses are different. My stingray looks the best. Perfect shape, angles and design but the sound has never been 100% to my liking although its better now through my new Aggy cabs than previous cabs. My Warwick Corvette on the other hand looks stunning and sounds stunning but its a smaller body and longer neck which is not the most comfortable to me. Plus the sound is amazing but can sound a bit thin for heavier rock type stuff. My Fender 75 Jazz is the nicest, easiest, most comfortable bass I have ever played. However, the sound is good but not 100%. Plus the natural look is not as nice as the natural look on the Warwick. So they all have pros and cons but non are 100% perfect. If I had to pick one then it would be a close call between the Fender 75 Jazz and the Stingray.[/quote]
    Linus im interested to know why the 75 is not quite the 100% sound you want..im guessing the comparison between that and the SR4 is the slight thinness of low end punch...or am i wrong bro? I played an SR4 through an Ashdown for the first time in pub a while ago and it was incredible...love the low end of the SR4...what does a jazz sound like with a humbucker

    Because its not as popular...as Dan said, MOST pub goers want to hear rock/pop...and why not, if its a good band so do i...there are lots of jazz acts/nights around depending on the city/town....

    to be honest there are ENDLESS rock/indie bands out there because it really is the sound of british pub culture...

    Humming when tone pots up....

    [quote name='bigevilman' post='772068' date='Mar 11 2010, 08:25 PM']Hey guys I don't know if this is in the right section or not.....


    I've had a problem with my jazz bass for a while now, and was wondering if you could help me out.

    Basically it sounds as if its not earthed properly when i have the tone pot turned up. Even when I have both volumes turned all the way down, if the tones turned up, theres an almighty hum :/

    I've attached a recording from my iphone. Apologies for the quality, but it shows the problem. Its an extreme hum, which is doing my head in, its not healthly!!!! I'm not sure whether its a dodgy pot, or whether its a earth problem....

    cheers guys

    [attachment=44643:Bass_humming.mp3][/quote]Joe i take it it semi stops when you touch the strings...Grounding/earthing issue me thinks...

    [quote name='deathpanda' post='771101' date='Mar 10 2010, 11:28 PM']Personally I think there's 2 different types of "playing with feel", first off is playing riffs and melodies that you can tell come straight from the soul (:) k, maybe not that, but I hope you get the idea), and secondly there's really feeling the beat and playing dead on time, even if it's strange phrasings, syncopation and all that. Take Jaco for example, to the average listener some of his phrasings might sound out of time and strange, but after a while you can really start feeling it. Both at the same time is a massive bonus though haha.[/quote]

    [quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='769800' date='Mar 9 2010, 09:49 PM']These were at LIMS last year and we ordered a semi Tele off them, like this: [url="http://www.dawsons.co.uk/acatalog/farida_ftc-32.html"]http://www.dawsons.co.uk/acatalog/farida_ftc-32.html[/url]

    VERY nice guitar, shoots way over it's price range. They don't sell very well though unfortunately or we'd have had more in. They're definitely very nice though.[/quote]
    tis a shame..thing is there are sooo many jazz copies with names that seem very generic....including Farida...i wouldnt have looked twice to be honest....i was very impressed though...
