[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1493388210' post='3288003'] All very talented, but I struggled to hear anything that didn't sound like I was in a lift. [/quote]I always struggle to find a lift that has Jimmy Haslip or Victor Wooten playing in it.

i think this is just brilliant. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhUsnoP4e38[/media]

My hours of discovering new music, i stumbled across these many vids, from some great musicians. Ive spotted Jimmy Haslip, Victor Wooten, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Berlin, Nathan East and many more. There are so many vids. The last i counted was number 53 with Gerald Veasley, but they go on and on. Victor Wooten is number 1 if of any interest. The musicians involved usually have a chat/warmup/rehearsal. Then they have a jam in the studio. Its a fantastic breadth of vids from some of the best musicians in the world in a studio setting. I will say from what ive watched the musicians tend to lean toward the jazz funk and soul, side of music, but of course i haven't watched them all. I always say listening is learning. Take your pick.

I'm not sure what Conan is referring to. I'm intrigued...? [/quote]Thanks bud. I will try him on FaceBook.

I've always had positive experiences with thomann. I ordered a Sire V7. It arrived 2 days later. 2 days. ! I admit email was slow at getting back, so I just called them. Much easier, alas a bit more expensive. I sent it back on a monday, and I got a refund by Wednesday. Definitely phone them. Much easier and quicker

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1493274280' post='3286993'] I'm staying out of it this time... [/quote]Did I miss something.? Wateroftyne do you know his name.?

Need some info from the man. Does he still frequent BassChat.?

He was THE musical master imo. Music and ideas poured out of him. Only Stevie Wonder is equal. Just think about the huge amount of music he didn't release.

I love this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X_2IdybTV0

its the one that edpirie had. was on the 100 and rising album inlays. Like you said Randy is playing it.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1492171627' post='3278459'] I have to say that I don't believe in the concept of perfection. That's my excuse for putting Tenacious D up (above). I do however have many songs that I like a LOT. Trouble is I sometimes play them to the point of boredom. Then it's time to move on. Mood is such a factor in my enjoyment that asking me what I think of as perfect is like asking someone to nail a jelly to a jack-in-the-box. [/quote]Yes i agree. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

This comes close to perfection for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWhMyOs0pCQ

The body shape (bottom horn) is different so a Fender guard won't fit..

Im with you Blue. I love the groove. But i wouldn't say he's the direction that bass playing is going. There are so many directions. I think ears should always be open, but yeah I'm with Rocco and Mr Rainey. Don't forget Willie Weeks

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1491844381' post='3275820'] There's a groove in there somewhere... [/quote]No there isn't. He's a great bass player but i can't get past his voice. its not good for my ears.

I didn't know it had gone. I hear it a lot . Maybe not in popular music.

Love the album that this comes from. Love the drumming and the piano.the little spanish guitar details. A very slick, well put together record. imo [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyvKDDfTvks[/media]

Its just sublime music, imo. One of my favourite funky soul tracks of all time. some great tasteful/bass/slap playing to a good ear. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR8VyqkVH4s[/media]

Fabulous music. imo. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dFv7qc3-ws&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ&index=236[/media]
