Mick you know the score. Im not reading until i see the candy.

Going through my record collection and i always come back to Patti Labelle. I love her voice. I also love this bassline and the record. nothing flashy, just groove. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVeBe5y0d9g

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1501164241' post='3342986'] Define 'better'. [/quote] More basses for sale within a forum.

Ive looked. I cant find one. Talk Bass is a treasure trove of amazing second hand basses, but too far away.

I cant see any of these vids on my Mac. Still cant work out why.

[quote name='Danuman' timestamp='1500672940' post='3339603'] Yes, it's quite inconsequential. I stand by my opinion - but it's just that; I'm sorry for bringing a negative tone to a good natured thread. @Bubinga5, I've enjoyed many of your contributions, so thanks for sharing. I do hope you all don't mind my nitpicking. [/quote]Not at all. It's an interesting point.

Anyone own one.? MM +Jazz.

[quote name='Danuman' timestamp='1500654130' post='3339429'] Maybe I wasn't clear, but that is exactly my point! I'd much rather hear the occasional bum note than listen to mechanically 'cleaned up' vocals. [/quote] Yeah you threw me there. Are you saying that the vocals are digitally enhanced.?

[quote name='Danuman' timestamp='1500644228' post='3339342'] Just listen to the video you posted of I can't go for that. The vocals are chock-full of pitch correction artefacts. I suppose it's a bit peevish, but I can't genuinely enjoy live performances if there's that kind of tinkering going on. To me it sort of goes against what makes performing live music worthwhile. Edit: I'm sorry, I suppose there was really no need for me to bring it up. I enjoyed the video with Diane Birch. The additional posts just reminded me of how I felt about the show in general. [/quote]I think your asking for perfect pitch in a situation where they are playing live. Ive seen Stevie Wonder live, where he doesnt hit the right note. I overlook it. But yes i hear it. Do i care, not really. Thats the great thing about humans making music. Its human. If i want perfect, i will listen to a computer.

Totally slick band. Just amazing funk from Jam in the Van. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0H4mL3OW-4

[quote name='Danuman' timestamp='1500640028' post='3339284'] I liked the song with Diane, and I like the idea of the series, but the pitch correction in many of these recordings completely spoils it for me. [/quote] What do you mean.?

Yep. Chromeo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOE1-2Fza5Q

I adore this woman's voice and her music. Such a fantastic record. Great all round performance at Daryl's house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9lyrOETXao&list=RDBzWRT-PAGQk&index=12

Yep. There as good as any other Super Jazz or P 5 string.

Sire easily. Not sure about short scale basses

What i would do, is enjoy the basses you have and spend the money on the other priorities apart from your need for a Pbass pickup in a bass. But thats just me. Any of your current basses will do Funk and Soul and Bite, and anything else in between.

He's awsome. Had a beer with him and Michael League in a sh*t club in Cheltenham.

Most are talking about the audience, not noticing the difference in bass tone. Nothing to do with music difference

I think the finger board has more difference on tone than the body does

No The preamp is so powerful and comprehensive, i find it hard to understand you cant get a tone you like with the same preamp, but because its ash, its that different.. If it was a passive bass, you might be able to hear nuances in tone. Even if the pickup spacing is 70's there isnt a huge difference.. i dont believe ash or alder make a huge difference in tone. The preamp and pickup windings have way more influence on tone.
