A really cool Toto cover from a young bunch of musicians. Vocally maybe it could be brought down a key for her, she's got such a great voice.. but very mature musically all of them. Imo.

Ill cut it short... I think there crap.

Ok, so i sold my amplification for financial reason's. (That amp and cab being an AG 500sc, and a GS 212). Really loved it. Now looking to get a rig back. Just bought a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2, but I'm clueless what cab would match it, (ohms wise, or sound wise). Some might know I like Soul and Funk, Hip Hop, if thats anything to go by.. The bass is an active 5 string Jazz, if thats anything to go by also. Ideally I would like a smaller cab to take to rehearsal's, something I can sling in the back of the car. maybe a 112, 115,? and then pair it, add later, for bigger situations.. The budget for now is £400. Then I could add the same at a later date. Second hand is cool with me also. Thanks for any advice.

Im sure people will chime in with there favourite preamp. But I would actually ask Martin what he thinks. And tell him what you like. What better man to ask. Just my op. Beautifull bass though.

Apart from some classical musicians, that are in a different league imo. Prince for me is probably the most profound musician that ive ever listened to. This is one of my favourite Prince funkers. Maceo Parker's sax playing is just.. wow.... Absolute killer funk from the man.

Im aware I've prob posted this before. But I think its worth a repost. I will skip names as many know them, especially Micheal. Outstanding for me is Jonathan Maron on that white Yamaha... He blows me away with incredible solo's and technical ability, on many a Groove Collective album and with Meshell, but can play simple groove of course. Just like this. Louis Cato's drumming is just soooooo great also.

Just pulled the trigger on a Shuttle 6.2 with Genz Benz bag from the Gallery..£400. Looks like brand new.. Thanks for the info guys.

I wonder if he's asked Andrew Gouche that.

Another question. Ive been in conversation with another BC member, and they said the GB Shuttle might not be so good for the music I like. That being soul/neo soul, funk etc? Surely with EQ and the right cab this is possible. ? Surely any decent amp will get me a tone I like.? All subjective I guess.

Much difference between the Shuttle 6.0 and the 6.2.?

Lakland 5502 all day long, and make it a Deluxe at that.!!. Very versatile bass. Can get away with Jbass, Pbass and MusicMan, sort of. Good enough for most ears.Really great EQ. The pickups and electronics are the same as the US made basses. There Pleked also.

O00h, I so wish Alan Partridge was doing the voice over on this.

Even if he was actually playing the bass, I wouldn't care. The most boring bass playing I've ever heard.

There comes a time when bass is not everything. Music yes, but not the instrument.

Im sure this vid has been on BC before. Probably by me. . But it still amazes me now. What a character he was and what a fantastic drummer. I have lots of favourite drummers, Poogie Bell, Billy Cobham, Dennis Chambers, Pete R Biggins. But this guy, especially back then, was just way out there.

Im needing a new pair and the Beyer Dynamic 990 Pro's are my choice. But I'm wondering what OHM version.(I'm rubbish with this sort of stuff).. Ill be plugging into a Saffire Pro 24, in to a Mac Pro, but also into a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2.. Me not know which one is suitable. ? Any thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Erm.. Headphones. Problem solved.

If you get the time. I learn so much from this man. He's well worth a listen.

It' a Lakland. There consistently great basses. They have the same pickups and electronics as the USA made basses. I haven' heard a bad word about them. I had a 5502 and it was fantastic.

Any thoughts on this amp. I like the power, I like the headphone jack and I like the aux for practice. I'e seen one for £299 second hand. I haven' heard the sound. . Any thoughts.?
