Jamie man the second one has a mix which is almost the same as DOADD, sounds damn professional and a tad bit on the beefy side of things as well! It Sucks you guys split man.

Thanks guys, it's just that P-Bass tone is so prominent that I instantly thought Jamerson, but he has been noted for playing with Curtis Mayfield but I can't find anything else.

Hey all, Just wondering, I've been lsitening to "Move on Up" by Curtis Mayfield and I swear it's Jamerson on bass, or am I wrong??

Get over it josh!if your male and you like women bass players,and comment on the fact, your a sexist. if you like male bass players,and mention the fact,your george michael??????obviously![/quote] There's a difference man, theres commenting on their playing and then theres commenting on them as an object, which is what has come across in some posts.

Hmmm I've got the same finish on my jazz, it's nicer than the standard colours inst it?

The first that appealed to me about Debra Killings is her playing, soulful and funky, and yeah the fact the TRB is almost the size of her but Luke's right it's nice when a female bassist does come along, but we've debated this before on Bassworld haven't we?

[quote name='tinyviking' post='10274' date='May 31 2007, 11:16 PM']I like the idea of a custom THUMB! maybe with special attachments for cooking like a swiss army knife for bass players or a button under the nail to active superfastslap-mode? Disappearing strings sound cool! how about lasers instead of strings like the "light harp" idea? simply wave your hand over the bass and lovely tunes would come out! Mine would be all new hi-tech composites and electronics to disguise the horrible sound properties taht would create. super expensive and sexy looking hitech art gallery nonsense - That's what i want (just after I win the lottery). [/quote] Just look at the streamers and thumbs they have in the custom gallery man: [url="http://www.warwick.de/modules/frame/frame.php?goto=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.warwick.de%2Fmodules%2Fcustom_shop%2Fcustom_shop.php%3FkatID%3D2093%26mtpl%3Dinfo"]http://www.warwick.de/modules/frame/frame....3%26mtpl%3Dinfo[/url]

And a fine Mantiss he'll be

You sure man?, looks about my age and my arms are no where near that long!

Is it me or are his arms scarily long and thin, like a form of Mantiss.

Ahh Debra Killings does it for me man: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUJK82SfGec"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUJK82SfGec[/url] and [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0S1h9Q_Me8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0S1h9Q_Me8[/url]

Been posted before man but still does make me laugh.

Hmmm well the dream bass would be a customised Thumb, simple as that really, or a Streamer after seeing some fo the customs they've made on their site. But lately I've been toying greatly with a jazz bass idea which hopefully someday will come to fruition.

Ahhh a good post thisen! I like to think I'm as passionate as most other bass players but at times I can that perhaps I'm a bit more driven than some, like some of the guys I teach and know, all have different approaches to it all, one of them seems to only practioce when I teach him but I know at the end of the day he's just focused on the band and doing his bit for the band he isn't concerned with being the enxt Wooten or anything really and I respect that, yet on the other hand, the other guy I teach is driven and is still amturing as both a bassist and musician, when I started teaching him he was cocky, arrogant and swore by only 2-3 bassists but within the first week or so of being on the music course he apologised to me and asked for serious help and i like to think with my help I've sent him on a good raod to becoming a damn good bassist, and teaching these guys does make me think that I'm an alright player, lets face facts only a few bassists will actually "Yes I am very good" but I know I can go into a room and play my bass comfortably and use the theory I know to a standard that it can impress people but then again it isn't about amazing or impressing people but it's nice to know when you have. But I know I've got a long way to go before I become the bassist I want to become, I guess its an age thing, being in the bracket of the younger guys on here we have some advantages in Youtube coming along when it did so were exposed to mroe bassists with greater ease than some fo the older guys when back in the 70's and 80's it wasn't always to easy to find out about but thats not say they not benefitting now either. I think I just know being 18 now I have years to come which will bring new basses ,amps, new bassists and all kinds of influences and will ultimatley shape the bassist I become, it's just now I'm midly happy with what I can do and Im sepnding between 2-4 hours day practicing many things and also listening to music in great depth, and I can look back and see where I was and know i have imrpoved and all I can do is improve further, I just think sometimes some people set out to be the next Wooten or Clarke or Miller that they end up becoming a copy and realise they're not really doing anything that hasn't already been done before.

[quote name='Morning View' post='8893' date='May 29 2007, 11:16 PM']Another vote for Tye Zamora of Alien Ant Farm, if you haven't give these guys a chance then your definitely missing some great basslines/tracks. Check out these songs: Tia Lupé - Latin influenced song with some good fretless playing (good bass fill at about 1:30) Never Meant - Some great use of harmonics S.S Recognise - Some good solid 16th note riffing and a bit of slap towards the end There's loads more I could suggest as this guy is just a great player![/quote] Even the AAF standards everyone knows, such as: Smooth Criminal, Movies, Attitude, These days etc...are all supported heavily with Tye's tone and his groove inspired technique. And also he's damn entertaining in the videos if you pay attention to him.

"Save yourself the cash....go straight for the Thumb Bolt On laugh.gif The Corvette's good but it's a bit like Wilma and Betty, you'd go with Betty but you'd be thinking of Wilma.....(Which 90/80's TV sitcom did that quote come from)"? Red Dwarf of course. Hmmm strangely enough Ken Smiths are starting to appeal to me alot lately, as are MTD's, but otherwise I'm Gas-less for a good while.

Fair enough man thats your opinion, I just enjoy it because Bona has used those licks in a unique way really, it's not groundbreaking but it's an intresting mix of Jaco inspired licks and comedy.

I've always enjoyed watching this solo, from 3:22 onwards it gets more intresting, and strangely it sounds quite familiar to the Transformers theme tune, and the harmonising will always make me grin especially when he sighs when he screws up his harmonised fill.

I'd be quite interested in knowing where you got the bridge from please Kevin man, as it would go nicely on my USA Deluxe and fix some minor inotation problems I've got and these bridges have great reputations for improving tones further.

Ryan Martinie - Mudvayne James Leach - Sikth Arif Mirabdolbaghi - Protest The Hero Sam Rivers - Limp Bizkit Dwayne Wright - Solo gospel Justin Raines - Solo gosepl Nick Fyffe - Former Jamiroquai Jimmy Haslip - The Yellowjacktes Debra Killings - Solo artist Dirk Lance (or Alex Katunich) - Former Incubus Tye Zamora - Former Alien Ant Farm (He really is that good if you give AAF a good listen, great tone and knows his theory)

One that stands out the most for me is Ryan Martinies live tone in this here video: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJsNTeAuvf4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJsNTeAuvf4[/url]

Kiwi the pictures are hidden somewhere deep and dark and grizzly inside my pc, and thats where they stay, for the benefit of everyone! The jazz just makes me go weak at the knee's.

Now thats something! And now I have serious gas for a looper even worse than before.
