I always say when the old "he sounds like Jaco" thing comes up, Jaco was one of the best etc etc...I always try my best to sounds like Jaco...better than sounding like me, a thoroughly mediocre player next to Jaco!

I just dodged the pedal thing and went straight for one of these!

I'm not a huge fan of Flea but as it happens, I can't stand Meshell and I'd rather listen to say, Stuart Hamm any day. Shock and awe! Personal preference mate. Of course, Victor Wooten is incredible, it goes without saying,

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='610222' date='Sep 27 2009, 07:12 PM']The Level 42 one was different. They were an up and coming band, and I was obsessed with Mark. I wrote to him asking how he got his sound. His ketter was really detailed, with drawings of his graphic Eq settings. It was really personal.[/quote] Thats very cool indeed. Mark is absolutely incredible.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='610153' date='Sep 27 2009, 05:42 PM']I have a letter from Stanley Clarke from the 70's. Well, actually it's a typed letter with a print of his signature. I have a hand-written 3-page letter from Mark King, circa very early 80s, just after the Level 42 album came out. Level 42 headed paper and hand-drawn graphic equaliser settings. Anyone fancy buying it, BTW?[/quote] Pray do tell what these letters are about!

[quote name='Tait' post='608071' date='Sep 24 2009, 07:45 PM']mine would be something like new found glory or blink 182, where you have a laugh on stage, can be as immature as you like,[/quote] You'll probably tire of that when you're about 22 or so!

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='608092' date='Sep 24 2009, 08:00 PM']Careful guys, he may go the same way as Janek. [/quote] I'm not sure what you're getting at, but having seen a few things on TB, I might be able to guess...

Looks cool, although they shouldn't come with chrome hardware...yuck!

It's about bloody time! Nurse, pass me an Allan Holdsworth model.

Either Weather Report, RUSH or the band that Paul Simon used to record Graceland.

[quote name='JTUK' post='605267' date='Sep 22 2009, 08:30 AM']Played well for the time they were out there, just an old relic now..and more likely surpassed by the top luthiers ..[/quote] What planet are you on? Alembic have continued to push boundaries and they are still as popular as ever. I'd go as far as to say that no other luthier can compete with Alembic in terms of sheer talent and skill when it comes to making high end basses.

[quote name='blamelouis' post='604953' date='Sep 21 2009, 08:45 PM']HA HA NOW i get the joke he is sh*te ![/quote] Yep, you got that right! Jaco is the King. Definitely one of my favourites.
