  1. Yep, if you watch a film in a language you don’t understand and then another one in English, you’re more likely to get more out of the second one. I had this with many more ‘’jazz’ orientated players such as Jaco, Janek and Mingus. Once I was able to connect with the style, I discovered the beauty in the lines/ melodies.
  2. Just in case anyone else doesn’t notice, my post was written in jest! FWIW though I don’t think even Jamerson enjoyed the music he was playing on. It sounds like he was much happier in a jazz club after a days sessions.
  3. Looked like he was just applying grease to me. Maybe they didn’t turn very smoothly? Really enjoyed the sound clip at the end. He should of cleanse both sides of scratchplate through before reassembling!
  4. The original Phil Jones Bass portable interface. All the specs and features are online, but this is a fantastic bit of kit, one I’ve never made the most of. Everything is in very good condition. Only mark I can see is a slight white scratch on the top, which you can see if you zoom in on the photo. Comes with cloth bag, jack to jack and USBC charging cable. £100 + postage or collection from Alsager.
  5. I haven’t seen overspray like that in the neck pocket on factory examples before. Usually there’s a thin strip of natural wood where the bass was hung for spraying.
  6. That’s odd if original, unless it was scratched?
  7. James Jamerson - his action was more than the thickness of a credit card. Can’t setup a bass properly? Should have had his fingers chopped off!
  8. I’m not sure the single coil precision is as popular as the split coil either.
  9. I doubt it is, but I’d buy that even if it was a dog to play. Beautiful!
  10. Thundercat for me. Tried loads of times and it’s just not for me. I think I might have seen him live too but can’t remember when it might have been.
  11. Even if it is not identical to something else, it will be a concoction of ideas that you’ve subconsciously merged or evolved.
  12. This (excuse the pun) blows my mind. Even before I type anything on here, I’ve already spoken it in my head. Back to music, the top improvisers also say they sing in their head the line/ phrase they want to play in a solo.
  13. When you say hear your voice do you mean the tonality/ accent we talk with or just talking to yourself? I’ve also assumed everyone can compose/ have conversations in their head, what else do people do?
  14. Unsurprisingly their feedback suggests they only sell modern guitars on eBay. Maybe he/she/they collect vintage guitars “for the shop” without real intention of selling, so super inflate the prices.
