Delberthot Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Back to the topic in hand: A lot of the more muso players I have heard fall into the 'who framed roger rabbit?' category. Lets go back to 1988 - There was a lot of fuss made over this new film with Bob Hoskins and an animated rabbit. It was meant to be the best thing sinced sliced bread. everywhere you went you couldn't get away from it. Enter 12 year old me buying all the hype. I went to see the film and have to say that it was the worst tripe I had ever seen in my life (and was until I saw or rather slept through LOTR). Since then I gererally stay away from anything overhyped so that i can go and watch it and judge it for myself so that I'm not as let down if it turns out to stink worse than a smelly cheese sandwich made with pumpernickel bread containing real pumps. Anyway, I digress. Or do I? I used to frequent Talkbs a lot and they always went on about Jaco, the bass of doom, all these great things he was meant to have done. I asked what a good album to listen to first would be. Can't remember what it was (something by Weather Report) but I bought it and absolutely hated the 'music' I'm pretty open when it comes to music and try and look for new stuff but this was just hellish. I have since tried to listen to it again but just can't. It got filed under B for bin. The point I'm trying to make, if I have a point, is that I am so tired and losing my concentration. I really don't like 'bass players' as the main attraction in a band. It should be about the music rather than them doing the proverbial ham shank. I can listen to some Stanley Clarke as he has some good songs but I have trouble listening to the other ones. You know,the short guy that plays the Aria 6 string fretless, Marcus Miller and that bloke with the piccolo Fodera bass with the Yin yang thing on it. I do know their names but, you know, tired and stuff. I like Thin Lizzy - Phil was the main attraction but as a singer. Same goes for Guys like Sting and the guy from Del Amitri. I like bands with good bass players such as: Yes, Chilis, Zeppelin, the Who, Deep Purple (esp glenn Hughes), etc but if the song stinks then it stinks. it doesn't matter how well the bass is played. As always this is IMHO and AFAIK and I'm going to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 [quote name='lowdown' post='291083' date='Sep 24 2008, 05:47 PM']Must be the first time i have heard the likes of Stevie wonder and Marvin Gaye cited as Mass-Produced crap....[/quote] It's a funny thing, but whenever I see Stevie Wonder lauded to the heavens, the jukebox in my head [1] starts playing "I just called to say I love you". And whenever I read about Stevie's genius and the wonder of Paul McCartney within ten minutes of each other, the jukebox in my head changes to "Ebony and Ivory".

Delberthot Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Nah the Fodera guy is a black dude and he does the double thumbing thing. Still can't remember his name. He used to do the Art Nightbass advert in the 90s when he had a 'tache, was on the back of a lot of Bass Player mags.

I know John Giblin did a couple of tracks on the album though. [Great player] This might help... 3/4 of the way down...

Pino's name doesn't appear on the album credits y'see. Anyway, it does sound remarkably like JG's impeccable fretless work, even if it really isn't.

(Well, why wouldn't you?!) But good old Victor Wooten did use Foderas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
