has anyone done this. If so what did it involve, backing tracks,drum machine. Busking licence etc.?

Alas its a rarer than rare hugely expensive instrument I've lusted after. Lovely bass though Cetera. And in no way I wan to detract from it but.. I would take out another mortgage for this bass.

Yes its a cover, yes she's a young bass player. But man can this girl play the bass.The detail in her playing is fantastic. imo.

It never entered my mind the nuances of the feeling of a pick, I'm a finger style player, so im open to education. I get the genre of music plays a big part. Maybe I should try.

Trevor R ..Her solo at 5.20 and her following performance on that Jazz is hands down some of the best melodic funky bass playing I've watched for a long time.. The whole vid is very cool. Her slap playing also top draw tasteful good.

Yes its a cover, yes she's good looking blah blah... Absolutely all I care about is how good this girl is on the bass. ive seen a few vids of her..I think she is a killer bassist for so many reasons in her playing.. imo of course.

There is a reason why Im so enamoured with this woman more than most bass players. Ive never heard any bass player play a finger style groove and mix it with slap like Meshell and record the music she has over the years.. Her slap playing is tasteful funky, never ever over the top. Its all for the music and groove. in my opinion. I. think she is playing a Modulus VJ, I could be wrong on that.

My sister being another soul funk /Incognito nut put this on when I went to see her earlier. We hadn't heard this album for quite a while. We both sat there just blown away how clever Randy lays down this bass line. His awesome timing, his double stops/slides, musicality and his groove feel is just way out there in our opinion. At 3.08 his 16th note playing is just wow..!!

"I’m also a Quality Engineer" That makes sense. 😁

WOW.. 40 years of playing and its a 2 piece body and your shocked and never even plugged the bass in. I would be amazed if its that bad. Got any pics.? Lakland are usually awesome on their build quality. Hey guess what some fenders are 4 piece bodies.

Taylor guitars are very aware as many others have to be.

Im not sure I would want true black ebony anymore from what I have seen. Ebony is better with its idiosyncrasies. Great fingerboard great photography.

When I think of a 70,s jazz bass tone its this. as seen on TV with Francis Hylton. I think he has the same Atelier.

You mean this one that I bought from you Simon many years ago. Miss that bass.

Proper 70,s super jazz that...Atelier EQ-M preamp.?

Ahh brill. Let me know what you think of it. Awsome bass that.

Just a bit of fun. Doesnt have to be Fender colours. Trying to get ideas. Ta. I always thought darkers colours worked better. Pics please. 😗

Wowzers,!! that is purdy.

No unfortunately its got Rotosounds on it Barrie😆 which it came with. Ill be putting some others on soon. ! got any pics of your Suhr.?

Yes it did.

Ive been looking for a Suhr Jazz for quite a while as they are quite rare and on my bucket list of Jazz basses to own. Some might know John Suhr predominantly makes guitars. He makes high end jazz basses in all sorts from his Classic Pro model Classic Antique to the Custom Classic J series. This instrument is a Custom Classic J. Its a swamp ash body with a honey burst high gloss finish. Abalone side dots, decal and fingerboard dots. Suhr (Humphrey) Jazz pickups in a 70,s spacing position, paired with a 2 band Suhr preamp. Ive played many high end jazz basses and this preamp is the clearest non coulered preamp ive ever heard. There is no preamp messing around with this basses clarity. It is also built beautifully. Amazing attention to detail. Ive got to say after playing many high end jazz basses from Celinder, Sadowsky, Nordstrand, Lull this Shur is up there.. The pickups on this bass are soooooooooooooooo good. !! These Suhr Humphrey pickups are just killer imo.. Im not sure how he winds them but these pickups make this bass sing. They are a dual coil that sounds very close to a single coil but are (I think) overwound to give a punch ive not heard on many jazz basses.Ive always had an issue with jazz basses sounding a little thin. I think John Suhr sells these pickups as Humphreys or a single coil. This bass retails at around £3500 which is a bargain when you look at Sadowsky NYC Alleva etc. Its all in the name I guess. One of the great Jazz basses does John Suhr make. thankyou Fatih.
