I bought a few a while ago and there's Chaka Kahn, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Rick James..... you get the picture! Plus introduces you to stuff you wouldn't have heard otherwise[/quote] Yeah, good idea. I'll pick a few of those up when i next go. Also guys, it would help me a load if you could just stick what genre of music the albums are you are recommending in brackets next to each one

Oh yeah... And this is when mr cottle was a youngster. He's playing a Wal 5er on these recordings.[/quote] on my way...cheers

Ok guys, I want to broaden my horizons musically and I'm looking to buy a few CD's. What I'm looking for is some recommendations for good bass playing, stuff that might inspire me. Basically I'm not fussed on the genre of music, be it Jazz, Motown, Rock, Pop, Blues, Classical, whatever...I just want to hear some good bass playing. cheers guys [b]So far on my list i have:[/b] Jaco Pastorius - Self Titled (or a Weather Report album if there is a better one?)

just thought i'd say hi been lurking on here for probably the last 3 month or so but finally got round to registering yesterday. here's a few pics of one of my basses just for the hell of it

My basses are: Fender 70's RI Pbass in olympic White and Geddy Lee signature Jazz bass
