  1. Ive seen Ed live a couple of times. Once with his band and the second time with Incognito at the Jazz Cafe in London.
  2. Very cool. These dont come up very often. Best 4 string neck ever period.
  3. Im not sure such a bass exists. Not a USA model anyway.
  4. IMO. She was just incredible. No vocal aids. Totaly live . This vid says it all. Just straight up vocal power and control she got from church.
  5. Very cool. Ive owned a Sei J 5 and they are fabulous instruments.
  6. This album is probably in my top 5 favourite albums of all time. Its so well produced and played. He and the band the band were so on their game back then. He wrote Holding Back the Years when he was 17. Says it all about the guy. imo.
  7. Many a dance floor ive bobbed my head to this this utter classic. Was never much of a dancer.
  8. That is great price for one of the greatest jazz basses on the planet.
  9. Beyer Dynamic DT 990s without doubt. They are the the greatest most comfortable, clearest, most well made headphones available. (imo) There not cheap but there are not super expensive. Open back so they are good to let the bass guitar sound good. I dont like the closed backed 770's. For bass they are too compressed and hold in too much sound personally. You can buy replacement ear pads if they get worn out too ... Abyss Audio do a pair called the Diana TC and they are £4700. Supposed to be incredible but you may want high end seperates for those bad boys. HIFIMan do a pair for nearly £6000. Stick with Beyers they will last you life time.
  10. Man I want this bass. Damn Mortgage.!!
  11. Ive seen this guy several times live. He is totally totally awesome. A bonafide soul talent easily up there with D Angelo etc. To see this guy live with his voice and his piano playing is probably one of the greats of my live music experiences. Me and my sister met him at the Jazz Cafe in London and he sat with us and talked about music and life. A real gem of a human being..
  12. This........... They are musicians. Its obviously their passion. They dont need the money. Too many cynics around. Alot of people love the Stones. Let them play until they cant anymore. Not many bands have lasted this long.
  13. Just dont ask him where he got it from. Its a special one. I would have asked for his Moon personally but thats just me Jay. 😆
  14. Never sell that. (Imo) A year into production. Ive had a golden era 5594 from 1999 with the most insane birdseye maple fret board ive ever seen and they were just incredible instruments. They used all the flashy woods available back then. That neck and fingerboard are insane on this one. That is a museum peice. I would take this over any Fodera or probably any 5 string.
  15. My dream Jazz bass. Ive played a few. Compare it to my old custom Suhr J4 and I would take the Moon. No doubt. They are that good. GLWTS Jay. Do you still have the bass P gave you.?
  16. Depends if you have the hands of a Gorilla. and how hard you play. 16mm to 19mm. Just adapt.
  17. Bent bit of metal. Lets the tone from the instrument string resonate more with the body. All a high mass bridge does is is add weight, compress the tone and soak up vibration. The greatest tone ive ever heard is the the threaded saddles on a Fender MIJ Jazz I had a while back. The best bit was I realised I could adjust the string spacing forget about fxxking high mass bridges and concentrate on my theory.
  18. Im not even into 4 string MMs but that is a very cool SR4.
  19. This is mind bending Jazz Funk (imo). Jim Mullens playing is way out there. Its all fantastic but from 4.00 onward especially. I love the way he changes from light electric guitar playing to straight aggressive electric on the switch of a pedal. That is some fantastic interesting change of feel guitar from this guy.. Side band for Incognito of course.
