    You wont find anytthing on Ostinato.. believe me i have researched the bass...It sounds italian because Ostinato is an Italian musical term.. I have owned the bass from new..loved it as soon as i played it..its got that amazing twang when you dig in...if i could cure the GAS i would keep it.. This is one of the best basses you will ever play...

    a totally pointless addition to a Jazz..does nothing to aid the sometimes noisy single coils...looks great though..ive heard Marcus Miller say he used it as a reference point..

    Been there...invited to a jam once, got out the Sadowsky, and the guitarist said, nice Fender didnt know they made fives. Drummer was good but couldnt form any sort of groove as the guitarist had his 100w Marshall on full with maximum distortion..the guy didnt have a clue what he was doing musically, and any chords he did know were just a god awfull screaching mess.. He asked me if i wanted to write some stuff together..i said a polite no.. Another time is when we rehearsed a guitarist for a Reggae outfit..he pulled out his £3000.00 PRS, and a effects board, no lie, about a metre wide..Then started playing bluesy stuff over Declaration of Rights Riddim.. Im very funny when it comes to guitarists and this is why.

    Emailed Ishibashi about buying a White Moon JJ4 and was told they dont have stock, and strangely they dont deal with them.. Any one know of any Moon dealers? Thanks

    Have you tried just turning the tone down..i had a 62 RI jazz and the pickups were VERY hot....vibrato was just a noise on it..i just rolled off the treble..

    [quote name='YouMa' post='582094' date='Aug 27 2009, 03:10 AM']Thats a nice bass and a very good price any more info on the company?[/quote] Its a bit of a mystery bass..I bought it from the Gallery..i asked for more info on the bass but they didnt know either..i have seen only one other Ostinato, it was a Vintage Jazz style. ive got a hunch the company were/are european.. I have played alot of high end basses and this bass although not known is easily up there with them..The problem is its not a well known name, so obviously it scares people off.. I have put this up before at a higher price but it didnt go, and lack of history with the bass is prob why..I took a bit of a gamble when i bought it and paid off..Smoking bass. for £450.00 you WILL NOT find a bass anwhere near as good as this..

    Yes that Lalah track is superb Ped, good call.. Love this, Marcus with Meshell Ndegeocello... lovely picking at the start, but some beautiful slapping after, you can so hear that MM tone.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r63PfJiEDq4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r63PfJiEDq4[/url] This is one of the best simple (fit the song slap bass lines) ive ever heard, tis a small detail, but check the chromatic climb to E at 0.22. .Little bits like this i love..amazing...just fantastic.. Marcus sessioning for Luther Vandross Oh my simple mind.... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KraIB1z0aac"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KraIB1z0aac[/url]

    I have heard so many examples of Marcus doing in the pocket stuff, i love it when he stretches his bass playing myself..dont forget, for most of his career he has been a session player...what is the guy waffling on about at the start?? i felt for him he sounded very intimidated... Ok its Marcus Miller but it sounded very awkward!.. Not sure if its a sign of a truly great bass player, hes a professional session musician..his profession is to play to what the song requires.. Marcus is very versatile, and any wild stuff he may play has always been in a solo context, and very musical..i see nothing wild in it... Have to say though bloody loved the singing and the tune, wonderful..

    [quote name='gafbass02' post='580500' date='Aug 25 2009, 06:01 PM']I think I asked about that moon and recieved a very polite email saying the neck was warped.

    Yeah i heard this interview..Really good stuff..Was interesting to here that Nile and Bernard turned down the producing of a Rolling Stones record, becauase they thought everyone would think the RS would get the production recognition and not them.. ironically im betting that not that many people know that they produced Sister Sledge's We are Family..
