I know tihis is opinion of course, and im prob ignorant of a few, but Pino is thought of by many as the best session's bass player, playing today..ermm Anthony Jackson said so..and i think so too... I can listen to his fretless playing all day long..he shows his true layed back form on Dangelo and Roy Hargrove playing..there are a few who will back me up on this forum for sure.. for his bass mind,. i dont think there are any better in the world. But i will say that Julian Crampton and Randy 'Hope' Taylor dont get enough respect,, these guys are in another world..

[quote name='Floyd Pepper' post='363802' date='Dec 26 2008, 05:24 PM']Out of them all, I think Incognito rein supreme. Fantastic band live and they always deliver every time I see them (which has been quite a few times). Their last album (Tales from the Beach) is a cracker. A couple of spin offs worthy of a listen are the Satya Project album 'Shine a Light' and the Inner Shade album '4 Corners'. Cheers, Jim[/quote]Jim im glad u said Inner Shade,, tis great album..Yeah Tales from the beach is a cracker, Julian Crampton's bass work on the title track is great..Dont know if u know, but bluey has an album out with Tony Remy called First Protocal, Also u may want to listen to the All Star Collective and Real People, who i think he produced... check it out..He seems to do alot of spin off bands like that..Havent heard of Satya Project, will check it out thankyou... And yes the best band ive ever seen live, Bluey a very nice man too..

Hey...just having an evening of ninties jazz funk and soul..(with a few friends) after loosing Young Disiples, "road to freedom" ages ago, i bought this great album once again,what a fantastic album.. also artists i love, such as Urban Species, Omar, Galliano, Vibraphonic, Carleen Anderson, Brand New Heavies, Di influence, Raw Stylus. Cant forget the master, Bluey,.. and his band of Incognito musicians!! Anyone dig any of these??

Second hand, they are rare but few do come up on their web site. TB has a thread about them and the only one I've seen in the UK is owned by Paul Turner. Are they worth the hype??[/quote] would love to play one!! the electronics should be something special to beat a Sadowsky metro at AC prices.. I honestly dont think they can be that far superior to an RV5 in the build quality stakes..

Yes Josh, but i like to play before i buy..i dont know anywhere in the uk that i could try one out..allways wondered why there so expensive..they cant be that much better than an RV5, maybe im wrong..

Hey people..has anyone played an Alleva Coppolo, i would like to try out a 5 string, but have never come across one..they are very expensive!! and was wondering if they are that much better than my Sadowsky. I also love the look of Low End jazzes...Has anyone noticed that the Logo on the headstock of Lowend basses is taken from the Average White band logo?! Never seen an AC on here.. Any experiences???

Oh my word....very very nice....how does the GB compare with the jazz??

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='358417' date='Dec 18 2008, 11:30 PM']That's a really nice looking instrument! I looked up the company when you mentioned you'd bought it yesterday, but couldn't find anything on the maker at all. Rich.[/quote]Yeah me too Rich..couldnt find a sausage..I may ring the Gallery and and ask there, maybe they know more? Its allways nice to know the history of your instrument..

See porn..

For sure!!

Recieved this today, and i must say it has a KILLER tone!!!! Its an Ostinato Jazz, Alder body, Tulipwood top, birdseye maple neck and headstock,Rosewood board.. Shaller tuners...Emg Pick ups, Aguilar pre amp..18v power.. Bloody love it... The tone is very very punchy, with loads,.. and i mean loads of growl.(much more than my 75 RI) and bright, but can be very different with a bit of tweaking.. This is the best jazz ive played..Period!!

Anyone have any more info on it or even played it?? I would like to know when/where it was made, how much it was new..I guess its a custom build.. Any ideas??

[quote name='bassman2790' post='353120' date='Dec 12 2008, 08:51 PM']Loads of Jazzes but not one Precision! You've got to love the P [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JMSq__vg7Gs&feature=channel_page"]MarloweDK on a Precision[/url][/quote]Yeah i know BM,i have yet to aquire a P..im a Jazz man really, but played an awsome CIJ squire belonging to my sisters husband...wonderfull it is....

[quote name='Brother Jones' post='353114' date='Dec 12 2008, 08:44 PM']Your RV5 is precisely the same as mine. Nice, aren't they? Massive tone, and very slappable for a 5er.[/quote] Yes BJ, fantastic. the pre amp is amazing..very punchy slap tone with great warmth..very much like the TRB i might add..

My collection so far.. In no particular order..My love at the moment...Yamaha TRB6II, my new bass!! this thing has such a great tone all the way from B to C, the tones as clean as a whistle, but can give me some serious funk, amazingly built for the money there is no better, period.......Fender Jazz 24, my first decent bass..i love this thing, no big bucks but has got some jazz bass honk and so easy to play.. Fender Jazz 75 RI, amazing bass, love the tone from this instrument, loads of punch and growl..i love the simplicity of a Jazz..Sadowsky RV5, what can i say, this instrument is flawless, i have never seen something so well made..the tone is better than anything i have heard this side of a Skjold Lions Pride(which i have seen for sale on here) For me Sadowsky do so many thing right, Tone, Workmanship, Playability, Aftersales.. But i love playing them all as much as each other, for different reasons.. They all sound amazing through the Aguilar and Korg.. Sorry for the huge pics.. anyone let me know why they so big.. how annoying.!!!

Hey people,im currently not in a band so am looking for other musicians..anyone got any suggestions on good sources on the net or elsewhere.. Im into funk jazz soul, and that seems to be rare round my area..I thought bass players were rare and everyone was looking for them..i have transport, good equipment and a good attitude IMHO, so am ready to go... Any suggestions?? Is everyone else in bands on here??

Yamaha trb6II Fender 75 RI jazz Fender Jazz 24 Sadowsky RV5 Love them all!! Hoping to own either an FBass bn5 or a Pensa 5 jazz!!! soon

Sold three guitars, two basses, one snare drum, a pair of hi-hats and both our children for this. I reckon it was worth it.[/quote] Oh i hate you!! i have been gassing for one of these!! Fine bass, hope you enjoy it!!
