What a waste of a nice species of top wood.

Yeah I remember hearing this years ago. Little did I know it was Julian. There is some brilliant laid back playing on this. His fills at the end. !

What happened with some second hand Fender's.? at well over Fodera prices brand new prices. They were a production bass and weren't even made that well made in the first place. We all know what Leo's thought process was when making his basses. There were no hand crafted parts with early Fenders. Bish Bash Bosh, another fender of the production line.. I think oZZma said it all.

I didn't and couldn't put it better.

Its great marketing, established expensive brand, Famous players blah blah. Its nonsense imo. There not 5 grands worth more talented than the most expensive Sadowsky and the makers of Sadowsky for example, who just so happens to work out of the same city. Anyone who wants to pay that much, be Fodera's guest.. Its like a vintage Fender at £10,000 or what ever ridiculous price people pay for an instrument that cost the same as a standard Fender now at the prices they were back then. But no, hang on a minute.... its special because its 50 years old, it has that special vibe/tone, the wood has matured to give it a special something like a fine aged wine. Do me a favour..

Jaccobs Ladder by Incognito. I saw him play this a few times on an F Bass 5 string live with Incognito at various venues.. When you hear the song it makes more sense. But non the less what a bass player. Met him upstairs at the Jazz Cafe when he was playing with Down to the Bone. What a lovely man he was.

Sublime music from Chaka.Her best album imo. Anthony Jackson's bass playing is just superb.

Didn't Macca play a Jazz Bass on a lot of the recordings.?

I wonder what the modest down to earth Pino thinks about the prices his Fender sig goes for.?

I really don't get Ricky's or the appeal apart from a lot of early iconic bands played them.. They dont sound great(subjective). They look bad (but iconic, just my opinion) They dont feel great to play, really uncomfortable. And they are expensive. .. And the guy that owns the company is a bit of a penis.. I would still like to play one again mind, just to see how I get on with them 10 years down the line..

Yeah man. One of the best players in the world. What a Di#k. Its one thing not digging his playing, and thats ok but to call him a Di%k...What was he thinking over playing like that.? Ive posted some sh×t in my time but thats a cracker.

Hes doing a masterclass right there. Its very old vid of him with a band/gospel group called New Direction doing joy the world.. It never gets old.

A jam is also something my Nan is a master at.

What im after is a better understanding of my relationship with the drummer. and playing for the song is my number 1 priority.

Im having drumming lessons, as I thought I needed to expand my rhythm section knowledge. Does anyone play the drums and bass and how did it help your bass playing.?

Lets start from the beginning.
