Marcus Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Nic Vic & Steve Bass Jam from Namm !! Check out the drummer..... nice stereo effect on the drums if you can listen on a decent set of speakers & hit the HQ button Enjoy [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoHISMEYvVA&feature=player_embedded"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoHISMEYvVA...player_embedded[/url] Edited April 21, 2009 by Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesparky Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Cool Vid, I've never been a great fan of Steve Bailey though. To me it always sounds like Bill Bailey playing a theremin! I'm loving the drummer's playing though - very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithless Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Not bad, but I prefer [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xahowfre4gg&feature=channel_page"]this [/url]video, when it comes to Mr. David Haynes - [u]real [/u]drums, I like 'em so much more!

XB26354 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I don't get it with Steve Bailey - he's plainly out of tune? I've listened to a few other clips on YT so it's not an isolated problem. It's not like it's a big stage with no monitoring - he had headphones on. If I played fretless like that I'd give up and play like Vic instead Love the minimalist drums!

chris_b Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Great. I like the exchange towards the end: "Drum solo?" "On this? You must be kidding!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingers Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yeah that's awesome. I actually prefer this vid though: Maybe it's cos i'm a jazzer.... and i'm a sucker for footprints Also, usually i really like steve, but in these videos there's too much reverb on his bass for my tastes...

Faithless Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Sorry, but (I've just realised it.. ) I simply don't get Steve - as he's playing sooo much in high register of bass, at the end of the neck, of course, i mean, the [i]Dusty End[/i], he even has to bring his fretting hand thumb 'in the front' (for reaching notes, I believe..), so the question is: [b]Why the f*ck he is using that goddamn Jazz shape???[/b] Is it (shape)incorporated in his 'vision of the bass', or is it just me? I just don't get it... Edited April 21, 2009 by Faithless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 That's his signature model so I guess he has to play it. I would imagine he's up high to keep out of the way of Victor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Ok, signature is signature, but, I think, when a company/luther is making an instrument for an artist(endorser, whatever..), it's [u]the artist[/u], who chooses, what his instrument should be like(shape, number of strings, whatever..), but [u]not the company[/u], that chooses a body shape for an artist, right?

wombatboter Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 The intonation of Steve is just terrible...It just hurts my ears when I hear him play. Isn't he the one that said that you had to practice intonation on fretless by playing in a dark room ? He's got the lights on here but it still sounds out of tune. That eary reverb-sound doesn't make it better, like a sound of dolphins shitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) Vic's playing is sterling as always. I actually like him playing the bass line best these days, although his soloing in the fast latin number was fantastic. He's still the best out there Yes, I'm not too impressed by Steve's fretless playing on this occasion either, but it's a good opportunity to hear his new Fender signature 6-stringer in action. When he puts his thumb on the board it's the same as thumb position on the double bass. Enables the player to play higher registers while maintaining the hand shape. You don't see it on electric bass very often, but as stated earlier in this thread, I guess it's a neccesity on a Fender jazz. Dave Fingers Haynes isn't a player I've come across too often, but he does seem very good. Very similar to Vic's brother, but not as Wooten-esque complex.

Faithless Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Dave's really tasty player, when it comes to drums, [i]real [/i]drums, I mean, and, the thing, that I can't dig, why he preffers that electronic piece of kit rather than [i]real [/i]sh1t, eh?
