Any ideas. ? Looks like an old Jazz Bass but it has something else.. can't quite describe it. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1BP1Ssh5Rd/

I had a Sei J5. good lord was it great to play and hold. Probably the nicest I've had. Stunning build from the sunken bridge to the olivewood top he folded over the arm contour. The details were hand made, you could just tell. Did it sound like a jazz bass.? Nope. That wasn't a bad thing. It was just a beautiful instrument and you could tell just by picking it up. The bass in question is above.

Erm.. Price.? And nothing else but playing it matters if your that meticulous.

I don't unfortunately. The RV5 is in the middle. I traded it with a CS Jazz. The UV went way back for the SR5 on the left. The SR5 was utterly killer.

Good call. I bought an Metro RV5 direct from Sadowsky and a UV70 5 back in 2013/2014..They are as good as jazz basses get imo. Both cost £1750 back then.

I was just wondering what others felt about Modes. How did you learn them. Did you find it hard to get your head around. Do you find them interesting musically. I came to the end my journey thinking why I found them hard in the first place.

Great to hear. You might want to check out Jarrod Lawson if you haven't done already. He's a superb pianist with an incredible voice.. saw him live at the Jazz Cafe..

Oh and vintage OW..

Looks like they are offering two new colours. It's not a UK site so not sure there available in the UK yet.? Shell pink and Seafoam green.

I'm looking to pick up a used 6 string. I do like a flat neck back to front. Nothing below 18 mm spacing. I'm looking at a Yamaha TRB1006 as I used to own a TRB6ll and it was amazing but other suggestions are welcome. Does anyone own a 1006? What are your thoughts on it.

Ask on the Bassmods Facebook page. They ship custom basses worldwide I believe. They are badass instruments.

This song and this album is timeless because it's so original. Donald is a total genius

Way way back in time.

Nate Watts's bass playing.!!

Zappa's playing is fantastic on this utterly fantastic record. Love love the drumming from Don Brewer

Utterly superb..

Love it. Reminds me of this.
