    [quote name='Spoombung' post='956440' date='Sep 14 2010, 07:34 PM']I still maintain I've never heard a Precision bass sound like his anywhere. It might be interesting to offer up a challenge to see if we can get any P-bass players here on Basschat to emulate the sound and then run a competition for the best effort.[/quote] Great idea. I'd pay a dollar for that!! Now where can I get a P...

    Great player, usually plays Lakland. His stuff with Lyrics Born is funky sh*t

    For anyone interested the neck is P like but slimmer and faster. As a jazz neck kinda guy Ive loved the playability and easy feel of this neck

    [quote name='Doddy' post='949420' date='Sep 8 2010, 01:44 PM']There are tons of great players who regularly play 12 bars-it's the bread and butter. But improvising underneath a soloist does not mean it moves into a jazz direction. A good player will still keep the feel of the tune while still being able to react to the music that is going on around them.[/quote] +1. Improvisation can also be subtle, within the parameters of keeping a song nailed, and tasteful. It takes both understanding and restraint, but the audience will feel it, whether they know what it is or not. It's not automatically Jazz Odyssey just because it isn't set in stone

    PMs replied to. In answer to questions, truss rod is in good working order and electrics all fine Graham

    [quote name='51m0n' post='941634' date='Sep 1 2010, 12:36 AM']I have the fretted one, in green, excellent bass - particularly when you stick a set of EMGs in it. Have big ole friendly bump from me for a really ace bass![/quote] Thanks mate, these really are amazing instruments for the money… if I was keeping it I'd probably think about some new pups, maybe some Wizards

    Obviously an unwanted expense but a Furman power conditioner might help?
  13. grahamd
    Thanks for the offer but only really after cash for this, only trade I'd be interested in would be a Jap jazz
  14. grahamd
    Transfer deadline bump!

    [quote name='Sharkfinger' post='939739' date='Aug 30 2010, 02:07 AM']Gosh, that's lovely. Will anyone get the hump if I say it looks like a warwick? If it had frets, would seriously think about parting with cash. Anyone got a fretted neck for this?[/quote] Haha it's pretty much based on a Thumb yes. Could easily be fretted too

    Thanks for the kind comments everyone type bump!

    Hey all Selling my trusty old Vester Fretless. Before I knew about BC and GAS this was my main squeeze for ten years of gigs and recording, never let me down but has been usurped by a Sadowsky so time to go Bubinga body, Gotoh tuners and Brass Nut, High mass adjustable bridge, Straplocks. Composite/ebanol type board that's happily withstood roundwounds with barely any wear, five piece neck with contoured heel. Punchy active 9v circuit - vol/vol/tone it's been a working bass but I've always looked after it and it's built like a tank. Some marks obv but very good condition for its age. I'd say a perfect first fretless Collection from Bath/Bristol area preferred but will ship boxed in the UK at your expense. I'm asking a very reasonable £150 firm on this, less than half what I paid for it s/h at Mansons in Exeter in '99. Any questions fire away Graham ps. this is patently not a custom instrument, it's just what's written on the truss cover OK!

    Or check the the new TC Electronic combos at Bass Direct, 500w with many of the Rebelhead features at a really good price, sorely tempted myself. Would like to know how they compare to the MB combos

    Wow some great stuff being posted. Jazz straddles so many genres and takes different forms, this blows me away every time

    [quote name='Pete Academy' post='929065' date='Aug 18 2010, 08:50 PM']Wow, Graham, thanks for the post! Extraordinary player, and an amazing band. Never seen this before. See what you mean about the drum sound, but what a player! [/quote] heheh oh yeah she's not too bad either
  21. grahamd
    Some gospel funk from Debra Killings, worth it for the sound of the kit alone
  22. grahamd
    Stumbled on this version of Parkers Confirmation, nothing spectacular but some lovely walking lines
  23. grahamd
    There's this guy too... ...type bump
  24. grahamd
    was privileged enough to see Zappa at Wembley in '88, I think they were his last shows here. just magical. Thunes a great fit for Zappa I always thought, punky and contrary

    Take the slap technique out of the equation and the chords/modal work is still sensational. A prodigy
