[quote name='Bay Splayer' post='535818' date='Jul 8 2009, 04:42 PM']thinking about buying a new bass and have always liked the look of the [i]marcus miller jazz [/i]but.... have read they are fantastic if you play mostly slap but not so good for finger style rock/pop and so on have any of you owners or ex-owners on here got different opinions on this? am looking for a [u]low action[/u] and a bass with [u]decent low-end[/u] also, any opinions on the [i]geddy lee jazz [/i]would be welcome as i am also interested in that too cheers mark[/quote] Mark...I wouldnt say the Miller jazz is not good for fingerstyle...I would say its good all round..I cant speak for the Geddy Jazz, but i have heard good things...If you can, play both..then decide.. PS. the low action depends on how the bass has been set up from where you have bought it from..You can adjust this without too much trouble...Loads of info on the net about doing this... All the best..

How do you mean 'closely'...do you mean looks, shape, electronics? Heres a few that do the J thing.. Atelier Z Elrick Zon

I bet that sounds amazing...Nice touch with the black/gold control knobs......

...ive got a gut feeling that a Celinder J5 would be better..i would love to play both to see...

[quote name='molan' post='532572' date='Jul 4 2009, 07:06 PM']I like all of these! I've got a stack of Acid Jazz albums I picked up free when a friend of mine worked at MoJazz for a while. Must dig he out & see what I have buried away My favourite BNH song was always the full 8 minute version of Dream Come True. I can't find the full version on YouTube (there are a couple of versions but one sounds like it was recorded through a sock & the other has glitches part way through). Here's a live version with the bass quite high in the mix, still not the best sound quality but quite watchable: [/quote]Love it Barrie.. By the way, looking forward to the Sei matey.....should be middle next week..Very excited!!!!!! Was listening to the sound samples and the bridge pup is killer...Roll that of a touch and im in tone heaven..Speak soon..

[quote name='YouMa' post='532539' date='Jul 4 2009, 05:35 PM']Blazin the crop was good.[/quote] Yeah was good...Brand New Heavies album called Rhyme Heavy, with lots of great rappers was superb!!Very funky hiphop..

For the dance/funk/groove fans..An old favorite of mine...'East West Connection'.....My sister introduced to these guys...Awsome bass playing on the album..The guy on keys is just amazing!!!!...Also anyone like Rae and Christian? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoYsPKCCIEs&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch v=xoYsPKCCIEs...feature=related[/url] A Rae and Christian classic [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjyrkHXysJE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjyrkHXysJE[/url] Thought i may add these..When they were good like this, they were very very good [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXA5koWaJzY&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXA5koWaJzY...feature=related[/url] One more great.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cXKGzqq99Y&feature=PlayList&p=9262BB5E07525DB5&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=1"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cXKGzqq99Y...=PL&index=1[/url] Ok just one more classic from the vaults...Vibraphonic [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R00y_sgxSkE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R00y_sgxSkE[/url] the bass playing on this is awsome...played on a Jaydee Celeste i believe I just had to add my favorite disco tune of all time...

If i had just one day i would be nervous...could i fit it into one day?????..Like B said, give Roger a call, see what hes got, i know hes got a wonderfull second hand NYC 5 string with a quilted maple top...I would also go to Rudy's Music Stop for sure!!!!!!!!!...They have got great basses coming out of there ears...You may like Rudy's 'Pensa' basses..they are unknown but amazing...Also i would go to the 'New York Bass Works' they make basses that are very special i believe...They look a bit like Surine basses... Metros are as good as NYC's, they just dont have the fancy tops... For something different check these out...I would love to try these instruments [url="http://www.newyorkbassworks.com/home.htm"]http://www.newyorkbassworks.com/home.htm[/url] You know Roger is your man though..

[quote name='Faithless' post='532282' date='Jul 4 2009, 09:57 AM']Doesn't he play Alleva Coppollo basses?[/quote] Well he used to.

[quote name='Stingray5' post='532228' date='Jul 4 2009, 03:52 AM']Rats - missed it! Hopefully, iPlayer will have it. If MJ was considered a genius -- and I am a fan -- then what does that make Stevie Wonder?[/quote] you can watch it again on BBC iplayer S5

[quote name='Hamster' post='532198' date='Jul 4 2009, 12:58 AM']Nathan Watts plays some fantastic bass line so nonchalantly [/quote]for sure i was watching that man Watts ..Was great...What a band Stevies got behind him...What bass is Nate playing..Ive had a few beers tonight, but i thought it was a Valentie? a bit like my spelling i could be wrong?

I bought one from Sadowsky direct and it was quick! not sure what the price difference would be...There is a beautiful used NYC in the for sale section of Sadowskyv at the mo..Wonder how much that baby would be?

I liked it..Loved the sound of that G&L,...Have played bass with some rappers and always think when it comes to Hiphop less (bass) is more, but that was cool..Will check out the forum...

Dont know if anyone has seen..Just spotted a couple of RV5's a standard etc...

You get what you pay for...Laklands Fenders etc are great basses..But you can bet Celinder's , MTD's etc are alot better, depending if you like them of course..

Is any one a member of Gospel Chops.com, ive just been looking on youtube at some of the vids from GospelChops and there is some great material/tips to learn from..There is a site that goes to adverts on the DVD's they sell, but there is a forum type site also...Was hoping these youtube vids came from there... Dont know much about the site...Havent got time to join right now........Any idea?
