    That Jamerson book is great for learning to read 16ths.

    I think it is one of the greatest frustrations in music making - finding people who are interested in playing the music you want to play and who are good enough to play it. The 'better' you are (subjective, I know), the harder it becomes. Even if I could out Jaco Jaco, where is my Zawinul, my Shorter, my Erskine etc? I guess they find you if you are good enough.

    You are very welcome, all of you.

    Phil Jones BG75 Double Four. I prefer to hear air moving than going through headphones. I play guitars through it too.

    The trouble with the nothing to hide nothing to fear argument is that, even if you have nothing to hide, you may have something to fear when the next enforcement regime comes along e.g. if you share information about your sexuality, religion, trade union membership etc. All innocent enough under one regime, catastrophic for individuals under another. Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. Law making has got very slapdash during my lifetime and there are so many unforeseen pitfalls created as a result.

    Sold a bass to Dave. Easy to do business with! Good Comms. Quick payment.

    ***SOLD***

    Why didn't you say? 😆

    It's definitely the bass in the video.

    I am near there, my friend. Let me know if I can help.

    Sold pending the necessary. Watch this space.

    Yeah... Apparently it's a really light bass 😁 (having lugged a Wal around for 38 years, EVERYTHING feels like a light bass to me).

    Full face

    Minor scuffs and buckle rash.

    Yeah. I have had about 5 or 6 basses with a low B (this Marleaux, two Status basses, a Harley Benton 7-string etc) and they just never sit right with me (and the music I play doesn't really require it, if I am honest).

    This bass has done the rounds and has been owned by at least three people on here that I know of. I have no problem with the bass fundamentally but am not getting on with the low B so want to get a 4-string to replace it. This is a video that fretmeister didn't do (he isn't who I thought he was) when he got the bass in the year of our Lord 1492. Nick Latham makes it sound better than I can. The 'kill switch' he is talking about appears, to me at least, to switch the bass between active and passive modes but I may be wrong. I have just put a new battery in it which will save you £3.49. I don't have any specs but suspect they are easy enough to find if you want the numbers. £1000 and it's yours

    Another tune from the same album, this is the complete bass part for the tune 'Donde Se Fueron'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/donde-se-fueron-ozomatli/

    At the suggestion of ChrisDev, I have redone the 'Slice Of Time' transcription in 3:4. It hangs together much better that way (no link - it is on the same page as the other 6:8 version).

    A complete transcription of the Wil Dog Abers bass line for the tune 'Cut Chemist Suite' from the first Ozomatli album released in 1998. Lots of repetition and repeats so good for practicing 'geography' as well as dots. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/cut-chemist-suite-ozomatli/

    Pauline Moran comes to mind. She played bass in The She Trinity, a Sixties all girl rock band that had a hit with a version of the Sonny Curtis penned 'He Fought The Law' which The Clash later covered. Moran is much better know as Miss Lemon, the secretary to Hercule Poirot in the David Suchet series 'Agatha Christie's Poirot'. I just looked the band up and apparently they also included the late Barbara Thompson of 'Colosseum' and 'Paraphernalia' fame. I had never made the connection before.

    I always loved Level 42s songs but not enough to really spend a lot of time with Mark King's bass playing. Same with Nik Kershaw; great arrangements and great bands but my head was somewhere else!
  24. Bilbo
    I did google him. I have never see the Blues Brothers movie but the net says this guy is a bog deal on the NY studio scene (as are many of the Camilo band). No surprises really.

    Yes - well spotted! Who the F is Blue Lou Marini? 😃
