If this is down to technical ability..He is knowhere near...yeah Alex he would admit that...I know bassists who could wipe the floor with him technically..There are prob some on here.. This is presumably a subjective discussion, which there is no answer, only your opinion...I love the fact he prob got millions of people playing bass..I hate the fact that most may try and clone him..WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SOUND LIKE SOMEONE ELSE..BOGGLES THE MIND..not knocking them but ive never liked signature basses either.. Hate his super fast repetitive slapping but I really like his fingerstyle playing, but i like many others..Meshell does it way better than him IMHO... Hes fantastic on Aeroplane though..

Rob thats the best looking S5 ive ever seen..very very cool..Bet it sounds incredible

Go for a Low End jazz..i play one recently and they are phenomenal

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='563817' date='Aug 8 2009, 09:39 PM']You need a Smith [/quote] Yeah i know CK.. would love one.. but i would love a Sukop an Fbass, an STR, LowEnd, Alleva, there is too many for my pocket to go on for to long..

Just a few additions.......am i bored......erm maybe...The Sei is just everything a bass should be IMO..light, great range of tones, looks good (imo) feels fantastic...The Jack Read is really nice to play..amazing to slap on.great response from the EMG's....The Cort Elrick is a slap monster, very modern sounding...i may add some fatstacks..great for chordal stuff.. Those who have seen im sorry to bore..those who havent hope you like... Two of these are going soon......

I have a new Funk/Jazz/Latin?soul venture going.. We wil be playing originals written by me and our Clav player....plus a few covers...I have asked the other musicians to come up with a song we could cover..The twist is its not going to be played in its original Genre...for example earlier we played a Heatwave tune in a Latin style and it worked very well..Mostly down to our phenomenal drummer.. Pick any of these genres and mix and match..Soul tune done Jazz..Funk done Latin... I have a few ideas but would love any suggestions you could put forward.. Thanks

Looks lovely Kev..love the off white( is it off white) looks a little golden also.., with the matt body.. I wouldnt add a finger rest,... unless you need it..i love stripped down :wub: great job bro

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=49666&hl=fender+CS"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;hl=fender+CS[/url] i dont put the guards on now, to impractical..added a pearl pick guard also...it has THAT super jazz growl...EQ'd right its got an amazing tone.. ALways think its good to have a proper passive and an active...

Come and play my CS Closet Classic Jazz chris, that will persuade you... Sometimes its a bit of a lottery with Fender..i had a 75 RI and thought the build quality was questionable for a £1300 bass....and i didnt like the feel of it..But some jazzez ive played feel like a stingray in there quality and are fantastic.. BTW i dont think Sadowsky's are like Fenders..the preamp takes care of that..they look like them yes..There is only one real Jazz/Precision and its a Fender.. Just some have improved on it..(depending on what you think is improving) Ive really settled in with my Jazz and it will never be sold...a Jazz is like an old friend if you find the right one
