It's not bass, but acoustic fretless guitar and it's simply amazing : Erkan Oğur on ... Fretless (yes it's the album title).
-
Anything by Mick Karn with Japan and Gary Numan or on his own, plus all the work of Percy Jones with Brand X. Pino Palladino with Paul Young on No Parlez and again with Gary Numan (who discovered him, by the way) on I, Assasin.

Albums you've really tried to love...
Hellzero replied to NancyJohnson's topic in General Discussion
I've been a great fan of Eric Johnson early work, I've tried a few times to listen to my favourite album of that time which was Ah Via Musicom : just can't stand that pretentious music anymore, so boring and dead flat. -
Sold my Boss GT1-B to Brian. Lightning fast payment. Another perfect deal thanks to BassChat and Brian, of course. A++++++++++ as they say elsewhere. Thank you Brian.

I was fed up with a once a week concert while in the 40's, now that I'm in the ealy 50's, once in while is enough. We did some 3 concerts in 3 days a few times and even play 5 hours in a row a lot of times, but now I would certainly say no, erm... maybe.

Seems like he loves distressing all kind of things. Is Fleetwood far from Langney ? He could spend a night there. -
The Status Maple Slipstream looks lovely :

And only 10 guitars left for sale when there were thousands musical instruments...

No, it's for the guitar player, of course. Just to remind him not to try to start soloing.

Just took a look and I must admit, there is something wrong as this bass is advertised 4 times by the same seller in 4 different locations, just like everything else advertised : https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=hjleners&_osacat=4713&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.X1966.TRS0&_nkw=1966&_sacat=4713 I knew that eBay wasn't in good financial health, but there is also no more control at all. Bankruptcy is close.

Good taste, that's what I said.

Parker and Wal : a man of good taste, for sure.

And never original at all.

Their first three albums were made using conventional instruments and the spirit was already there. Listen to them : Kraftwerk, Kraftwerk 2 and Ralf und Florian. Don't forget that the two founders were classical musician interested in electronic music of the time (1968) so they knew what they wanted to hear and started with what they had : conventional instruments. Ralf und Florian is the beginning of the "massive" use of "synthesizers". I would also recommend watching the Swedish film "Sound of Noise", very Kraftwerkian approach. -
Then he wouldn't be Mark King anymore but Mark Single.

Amazing how measures are related between them. Why can't they simply say 9/16" instead ?!?

Is he allowed to chew gums when playing snooker ?

I knew I read it somewhere, and it was in Mick Karn's autobiography. Don't want to start finding the page as someone already gave the answer in the other TB : https://www.talkbass.com/threads/when-did-mick-karn-switch-from-travis-bean-to-wal.833442/#post-11862761 You can tell your guitarist that he really is a guitarist : not reliable. 😁 From TB : In his autobiography, he states that while in the studio, extreme temperature changes were causing the aluminum neck to shift and not hold tune. It just so happened that the Wal factory was down the street from the studio. They let him borrow a bass to get through the session, and that was it.

I don't which one is the good one and if there's one, but Mick Karn remained loyal to Wal even when he could afford another Travis Bean or when he played a Klein fretless bass...
