Love this, but all I have to offer is another fretless 5. FWIW Yamaha TRB5 mk1, the sought after original, in trans orange. Plus cash your way obv

Mine was MIK I think

Great player.

Very Metheny influenced[/quote]

Yes, he solos without being obtrusive or unnecessarily
in your face, just in the pocket and very much part of the whole

this 'uns warming me up for the w/e

Superb Minnie, 'I am the black gold...' with Rotary Connection, absolutely timeless. She was receptionist at Chess records too apparently

+1 to Les Fleurs as a great compilation, funky as f**k!

Tight. funky. I'd love to be this bad

Mark Ong gets props on here from time to time, but for anyone who hasn't seen his stuff, his melodic, fluid, lyrical style is just fantastic and he does the backing tracks too. He's posted a few new jams recently so thought I'd share

Have always played originals and never been paid, usually out of pocket. But hell yes, it's the best thing in the world. I'm thinking about a working band for my dotage though!

Absolutely! Worth pointing out most of their catalogue is on Spotify too

Couldn't let this thread pass without posting this

That is lovely, and great value to boot!

Hows about this from the incomparable 'Nard album

[quote name='Bass Culture' post='1112008' date='Feb 2 2011, 08:49 AM']Ha ha - sadly my heart is set on an ACG. The Roscoe is so good that the ACG custom is really the only thing I'm prepared to move it on for. That said, PM, you're welcome to pop over anyway and put the Rosecoe through its paces even if it's not a precursor to a purchase - always happy to exchange pleasantries, drink tea and talk bass with a fellow obsessive![/quote]

No point offering you a Sadowsky RV4 fretless in Oly white/Tort then? No? Bump for a beautiful bass!

Sensational! Good luck with the sale

Thats the motherlode right there, the one

Yes, yes. Big fan of the modern antiquarian, couldn't tell you about his bass playing mind

Absolutely B5. The education keeps coming, love this thread!

Very sad news. A true original voice in music. Condolences to Micks family

I owned this for a while and can confirm it really is an amazing intrument. I always liked the 'Egyptian eye' in the grain at the top of the body too Good luck with the sale, whoever gets this won't be diappointed

Yes a truly inspirational musician and composer, not many do the global melting pot thing as well. The Prophecy album is the one IMO.

Oh mama, doesn't get better than that, just beautiful! All the best with the sale

Back on £150. Cheap as chips!

Thanks for posting. Yet another fanastically realised Lakland bass. Interesting his comment about it sounding better with 40s too
