Was thinking about going to a Bass Bash, but i erm...dont know who else would be interested in going with me..yes im a lonely bass player..who do you guys/girls go to these events with..wives/mates/pets??..Or are some of you friends and hook up often? Would love to go and play some different basses and maybe meet some of you people..whats the deal, do you bring all your basses along and talk bass? Sounds like a wonderfull day of bass indulgence! Who organizes these events..Dood???

Ive have a black pick guard i was thinking about putting on my Jazz CS, but wasnt sure..seeing yours, now i am.. Looks awsome James..

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

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
