I see this post is going well! Good prize as well. Garry

[quote name='Bilbo' post='758020' date='Feb 26 2010, 11:23 AM']A new one to me. Pianist Eugene Maslov is a fiery player but the record is astonishing. Boris Koslov is the bass player and he is so on the money - I have never heard of him but WOW!!!!!. Think Michel Camilo and Anthony Jackson and then some!! Highly recommended.[/quote] Boris Koslov is a serious player.... Eugene Maslov aint arf bad himself. Great stuff.. Garry

[quote name='Oxblood' post='42027' date='Aug 6 2007, 03:16 PM']Reminded me of HS too at first, but the longer I listened, the more I realised that she leaves that[b] one-note honker [/b]drowning in her wake. Next to Dorsey, HS sounds like bleedin' foghorn. What a range! [/quote] Fantastic...... I could not agree more... GAD is superb. Garry

[quote name='Rimskidog' post='748971' date='Feb 17 2010, 09:21 PM']The tannoys are probably the best of the bunch you mention. But for just a little more you could get Adam A7s or Dynaudio BM5a which are a BIG step up from the ones you mention. As mentioned above dont leave room treatment out of the equation. You can buy a big bag of rockwool from Wickes and make some DIY panels for about £50. (believe me, it'll be the best 50 you ever spend.)[/quote] Big +1 for the Adam A7'S.A bit more above your budget, and as mentioned above..a step up. And the rockwool panels a must.Just google anything on home studios and there is plenty of Info on putting panels together.Its not hard at all. Garry

[quote name='Huwberry' post='747211' date='Feb 16 2010, 01:44 PM']Loving the Brothers Johnson - been really digging 'Stomp!' recently. Massive tune. On a similar note, one of my favourites is Louis Johnson's line in 'Get on the Floor' [/quote] Yep, he is right on the nail with that groove.And another great Quincy Jones production. Garry

[quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='747658' date='Feb 16 2010, 07:24 PM']The folder you're looking for is probably something along the lines of C/Program files/Acid pro/VSTs then, assuming its installed on drive C on your PC. Cheers.[/quote] Or sometimes there is C/Programme files/Steinberg/VST's,or C/programmes/VST'S, and then you have to set the path within Acid Pro to scan, Pointing towards that folder.You had to do that with the older versions of Acid.The newer versions have a VST folder within the Sony/Acid folder. I do remember last year some time that there was a post started for free VST'S.Quite a few links within that. Garry

Not sure what the best slap groove is. But Louis Johnson on 'Aint we Funkin now' is a great groove. A greasy funky 70's Stingray in all it's glory.... And as someone above said...all that Marcus stuff from LV. Garry

[quote name='crag42' post='747076' date='Feb 16 2010, 12:07 PM']I use Acid Pro mate[/quote] Does that clear blocked drains? A couple of good one's in there. Garry

For me it was some of the George Benson tracks, and a lot of the American soul stuff. And i did like Scritti Politti. Garry

[quote name='jakesbass' post='731468' date='Feb 1 2010, 11:09 AM']I'm laughing to myself because my poll questions were so ill thought out that I can't for the life of me extrapolate out a single conclusion [/quote] I was just thinking that myself... I just put it down to a spot of Monday morning glue sniffing! Playing for me - then again that might be the glue kicking in. Garry

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='726869' date='Jan 27 2010, 08:54 PM'][b]I love this KingBass Mk-II 5-string...[/b] [/quote] Bit of an old slapper, that one... I can see that propped up in an Essex bus shelter and surrounded by chips, white shoes and rubbers. Garry

Fantastic Bassist with a real feel for Music. He's done a bit, aint he?.. Garry

Very sad indeed.... RIP Garry

If i need anything Music related... I always ask my wife if she needs a new pair of shoes... Works a treat...... Have you seen the price of flip-flops these days? Garry

Not sure what constitutes 'Best Bass Solo', but i like this one for being musical and melodic. Marcus Miller Fretless solo on 'Friends & Strangers'.. I believe he was in his late teens when he played it. Its from the Album 'Mountain Dance' with Dave Grusin. Not a hundred notes a minute, but it is incredibly Lyrical. Bass solo at about 02:50 Bit of a bum bandit album cover though. Garry

Another MFSB classic. Garry

Ahh... [b]T[/b]he [b]S[/b]ound [b]O[/b]f [b]P[/b]hiladelphia Big Disco city in the 70's. You tube it - tons of good stuff. The rumour had it that MFSB = Mother F##ker Sister Brother.. Or is that just Myth? Great track above. Garry

[quote name='4 Strings' post='711200' date='Jan 13 2010, 12:47 PM']I can start off: An obvious one is Blockhead legend Norman Watt-Roy, who has been playing regularly with Wilko Johnson ( [url="http://www.myspace.com/wilkojohnson"]http://www.myspace.com/wilkojohnson[/url] ) for some years now. He's fantastic, so much energy, innovation, sweat, commitment, talent, all for a tenner![/quote] I am sure you did not mean to say NWR is a small time Bass player... But i do understand your drift, and a good idea. A thread worth watching. Garry

Same sort of sound and playing style as of Bob Glaub. He did the album with Hot Stuff and Bad Girls..so maybe him, just a guess though. Its really hard to track down the Musician credits on a lot of the 70's stuff. Garry

Looks like you are sorted... There was a guy who used to set up Marcus Millers Basses, he could sing a bit as well - top guy.. His name was Luthier Vandross. There is always Robbie of RIM Basses.. He is in Luton. Garry

[quote name='Alfie' post='704326' date='Jan 7 2010, 03:37 PM']But I still don't like TK, too many notes. Just find a couple you like and play them well... like Guigsy.[/quote] Thats all very well. But would not work in 'All The Things You Are'... Garry
