Some gospel funk from Debra Killings, worth it for the sound of the kit alone

Stumbled on this version of Parkers Confirmation, nothing spectacular but some lovely walking lines

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

check this guy in the vids page, very acrobatic and lacking some tone, but impressive, esp towards the end [url="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2010/08/09/evan-brewer-solo-slap-bass-demo/"]http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2010/08/09/ev...slap-bass-demo/[/url]

On a Lakkie tip the 5502 takes a lot of beating, a very modern look and sound from either the Barts or the LH3 configs. Depends what kind of vibe you're after

Been browsing this site for a while, US-centric but some very cool interviews, vids, q&a etc. Plus if you 'like' the Facebook page then they send you interesting daily tidbits. Well worth a gander

Bought a JB62 from Ishibashi a few years ago. Great communication and service

[quote name='molan' post='913532' date='Aug 3 2010, 09:49 AM']Yolanda Charles is a very good bass player as well - don't know much about this band of hers but ought to be pretty good: [url="http://www.myspace.com/yolandacharles"]http://www.myspace.com/yolandacharles[/url][/quote] Love Yolanda. What's that she's playing though, is it a Celinder?

Another example of superb restraint an feel

Fantastich Barrie! Always loVed GSH, was lucky enough to see him about 96. Here's a classic sampled line

Collected a Sadowsky from Perry, great guy and bass as described, recommended.

I read a magazine interview with Flea in which he stated that among his many influences, McCartney stood out for his melodic basslines and strongly influenced his thinking on many of the Chilli Peppers slower numbers. Interestingly, in the same article he cited Paul Simenon as another[/quote] This figures - surely Give It Away is a direct descendent of Come Together

James bought a bass from me. Great communication and very trustworthy, recommended

Funkin for Jamaica is my favourite. Makes perfect sense on a real bass too

Wings… the band the Beatles could have been

Colin bought an EUB from me. Drove down as promised and paid upfront. Had a cuppa and a good old bass related chinwag. Great guy to deal with, highly recommended!
