    Not wanting to be left out of the Scottish BCer pile-on (I'm in West Lothian) - hi Andy and welcome to BC!

     

    And if your profile pic's anything to go on, welcome to another orange Ibanez EDA owner! :D

    Beautiful looking instrument. It replaced my Status as main gigging bass for a while. I love the plasticky smell when you open the case. Always wondered if I should've gone for the 4 instead of the 5.

    Hi mate was it this one? I came across it recently as a recent new owner of an L2000

     

     

    Wow that's a good find! Thank you!

    Same bloke, same bass... different solo but very much 'in the style', right down to the bass-wobble at the end! 😁

    Right, off to search for Henry Thomas videos...

     

    That's such a fine bass sound, isn't it?

  3. Here's a thing. I partly learned by watching a VCR (yeah I'm old) in about 1991. It had real basic stuff, playing position, fingers, how to... all sorts. Demo'd a few scales, basic lines. He was really careful and clear with his teaching - almost too simple in some ways, but it was for beginners not just bass playing but music in general.

     

    Then at the end the teacher/player, black fella, did the most amazing bass solo including slow intro, funky finger lines, decent slap, chords & everything. It was 'wow' for me!

     

    Problem is, I lost the video & can't remember anything: bloke's name, video title, nothing... except... I remember his basses!

    For the lessons, he played a red (Yamaha?) 4-string.

    For the solo he played the most beautiful natural G&L L2000 (had a cracking sound).

     

    Anyone got any ideas on this? I'd love to hear that solo again.

  4. Played for 30 years, self-taught mainly finger style, some pick, not slap (I'm rubbish at it). Prefer rock but will play anything. Played live when I lived in England, covers bands, but only a rock god at home these days!

    Bit out of touch for a few years. Just here to chat & get back up to speed with bass talk, really.

    Cheers all

    Andy
