While I'm at The Fat Back Band. This is just....!!!!

Like I said its a cover from The Fat Back Band, FT Sarah Ruba.. Raising Hell Album

The MTV Unplugged version of this song/intro is amazing on the album, (which is available) as is the bass playing.But its not available on YT. This is very cool though.

And so you should my friend. 😉

Awesome Chaka. Extended version..Shes sampling FatBack Bands classic. Amazing bass playing. She is a great bass player too.

This is going in the same direction as "what direction should I place my bass knobs" thread. There is a reason why you have never thought about it before. Because it is totally irrelevant.

I've just had a good listen to this new album. Ties to Bluey from Incognito of course. Some great modern jazz funk that just better and better as the record progresses.

I can't think of a Foo Fighters song I don't like.

It was a Vintage PJ Vb5 string. Body was Bubinga hence the sig. Great beginner bass. Bloody heavy though.

Easy fix, and they will never loosen your nuts on Schaller's. The locking washer. Ive been using these on Schaller's for years and they have never come loose.

Its a sound that very quickly jumps from normal note to octave very quickly up and down. Ive just put on a fresh set of DR's and it seems a lot better. Although one note which is the B on the G string immediately jumps from B to lower octave and back again, but not as bad with the old set of strings.

Personally if the neck kept moving as you say I would have left the truss rod alone. Not your fault of course but adjusting the truss rod, and bending the neck back and forth a few times a week was putting the wood under a lot of stress. Did you adjust the neck under string tension.?? i.e. you can see the neck is pulling toward the E string with the most tension.. But of course its the neck and the builder that is at fault and he should know this..

There £20 Sony cans. The strings are DR high beams, The pickups are Bartolini Jazz pickups. I was under the impression that the MXR was the best for tracking. .. I think its the headphones mostly. Playing and open G it wavers in not a nice way as does the D. But the A string is fine all the way through the sustain. The E struggles also, but that is suppose is to be expected.

Really.?

Once again Basschat doesn't let me edit or change the vid.??? Well done. Why you have made this so difficult is beyond me.. Why is this so impossible to do.????

From such a great album and musician. Mark Kings bass playing is just superb..

I have an MXR Octave Deluxe. I haven't yet put it through my amp because of noise reasons. I have played it through some headphones and there is some wavering of the octave below way above low A. Should I expect this because of the frequency capabilities of the headphones.? I know these MXR's can go down to low E before struggling to track. .

Strings with a round core.

Fair comment. Like you I do recognise the difference, but choose to overlook it because not all music is produced perfectly. Especially on YouTube. How old are you jack. if you don't mind me asking.?

An Atelier Z.

in my many years (I'm 43) of listening to music I don't think I've ever listened to a record that has been unlistenable..Especially because of the production. I think your being a little over dramatic Jack.

Does anyone think he/his company might have over stretched themselves sales wise and in doing so compromised quality. Im not saying this is the case, Just a thought. Ive owned an Elwood 5 and it was superb. But,.. I went for a meal in Stratford 2 weeks ago. Was awful. Wifes food was cold, food was bad. Next night it might have been wonderful food. Wont ever go back, why would I bother and risk having a crap meal again when there're a hundred more restaurants that will take my money. Reputations can be destroyed with one bad experience. This meal was only £50. Adrians basses are over £1000. This is why builders like Roger Sadowsky are on the top of there game all the time.. He probably understands the power of TalkBass etc also.

Im not sure what strap button the other strap hangs on to.?

Mr Erskine with a Gruv Gear Duo Strap on. Lots of companies make them.
