[quote name='SlackAlice' post='1160688' date='Mar 13 2011, 04:56 PM']That's the one..... They had a 4 string reduced to £399 by mid-afternoon as apparently it had fallen off the bracket & was damaged! They sold it though. Angie[/quote] Yeah i see that, what a bargain.

[quote name='spike' post='1160660' date='Mar 13 2011, 04:32 PM']Well, in a moment of madness at the bass guitar show yesterday I went and bought the classic J model on the Bass Merchant stand. The build quality and finish are excellent especially considering the price. It sounds good too and there's quite a variety of tones avaible. One feature that I like is that instead of the two volume controls and one volume control that you'd find on a standard jazz, there is a master volume, a pickup blend and a tone control. looking forward to rehearsal tonight so I can see how it sounds with the band. Here's some pics [attachment=74718:DSC_0006_edited_1.JPG] [attachment=74719:DSC_0001_edited_1.jpg] [attachment=74720:DSC_0003_edited_1.JPG][/quote] Agreed, lovely bass for sure, great price and by far the best colour, nice buy enjpoy.

Great, sounds like i'm going to have a good day tomorrow then. I like slap when it's played well and with a groove, but don't get the OTT type of players. I think someone else said on this thread "slap doesn't kill people" but "people kill slap" hope i bump into some other BCers, i'll be the one wrapping a bass around the Rotosound mans head by the sound of it

good stuff

[quote name='dmccombe7' post='1098795' date='Jan 22 2011, 04:17 PM']Excellent ! love it. Have a listen to a guy called Sandin Wilson - "Into My World". Similar style with vocals included. Thanks for posting this - will check out albums Cheers Dave [/quote] Hi Dave I'll go and check Sandin Wilson out, as for a few of this guys albums, i purchased " bringing back the funk" and "XII" from amazon, i have to say both really good albums, bringing back the funk is my favorite at the minute all the best Chris

Well after my Daughters buying me Logic Express for Christmas, i thought I'd better give it a go, so here is my first loop, Bass is me playing and guitar is a friend,note: I'm not much of a slap player as I'm still trying to get it down, however i think it turned out ok-ish, more a groove than funk. Also i think i need to learn to mix too :-) @ 88bpm [attachment=69215:first_loop.mp3]
