  1. Great band IMHO,so many great tracks. Bit of a guilty pleasure for me....I'm always trying to get band to jam on 'You Sexy Thing'! Errol Brown, what a legend.
  2. I hadn't started playing bass when he died, so I missed out by a few years. I became exposed to his talents via the music he was involved in, rather than chasing out recordings because of his involvement. Pre-internet, I buy getting records I liked, and had the 'who's that on bass' thing. That came afterwards, trying to find anything his played on! On a side note, the Michael Jackson program on Channel 5 last night, they interviewed Bobby Colomby because of his affiliation with Epic records. He was heavily involved in getting Jaco to a wider audience, so quite timely he was on this week.
  3. You can never have too much JP. His playing offered something for all - groove, solo, he had it all. Never bettered in my opinion.
  4. I've used Hotmail for some time now, usually works fine. I swapped over from easy.com - that was a seriously bad provider. The Hotmail was my backup, but had so many issues with Easy, that I chose to make it my default email. Never looked back!
  5. [quote name='NJE' timestamp='1505762648' post='3374167'] I have wanted one of these since playing one in PMT, it's got worse now that they are releasing the Capri orange. [/quote] Wowzers. Just Googled that and saw a photo. Seriously awesome!
  6. That's very sad. I'm not on FB, so had no idea about this. His discography is massive - just one of those players you'd love to be, with a massive stack of recordings in different genres. He actually co-wrote the Narada track as well, easily one of my favourite lines ever. How very depressing.
  7. It's my real name. Have you never seen my cartoon?
  8. Poor old Taylor Hawkins appears to be the most hated man on Basschat! Hope he's not a lurker on here......
  9. [quote name='richardjmorgan' timestamp='1505049325' post='3369100'] Very tempted by this. Is the only Flea-branded bit on these the neck plate? Love the look of these but am noooooo a RHCP fan. [/quote] I'm the same. Quick change of plate, and it's just a gorgeous Jazz.
  10. We've always handed it back as well. Always believe in doing the right thing, even if we do end up with less!
  11. Superb bass - whoever buys is in for a treat. Cool price, too. I bought one myself earlier this year....I've never heard a Jazz sound so good...and really light. GLWTS!
  12. I had one, gigged it for a year or so. Only reason I sold it, was that when I changed the car, it would fit in (I was aware of this before the transaction!). Loved it so much, in fact, that I replaced it with a Rumble 500 head. I was already using a Rumble 1x15 as an occasion extension cab, so kept that and added a 1x12. You can't go wrong with any of the range - I think they're fantastic. I up the gain, and use the 'vintage' setting, and it's on!
  13. Superb musician, amazing works. RIP, HC. Very sad to think that we've lost two pioneers within days.
  14. Where I am, no car, no gig! We play usually within a 1 1/2 hour radius....no public transport at night, and even during the day, there's nothing direct. Never something I could even contemplate. I also enjoy a bit of comfort and performance in my transport!
  15. His own website appears to confirm this. Very sad indeed.
  16. I'm a streamer - legal - from Google play for the last few years. Regularly found the various systems lacked bass. Always blamed the format. Few months back, bought a pair of Audio Engine speakers, combined with a S3 sub woofer. It's totally transformed how I hear digital music. Bass is huge, I'm always turning it down! Can't recommend their stuff highly enough.
  17. Flicked through it after watching the first few spots. Soulsville? More like Dullsville to me! I like the original stuff, but this to me came across as cosy karaoke.
  18. I keep both of mine in hard cases. Gig in either case or bag, but I'd never store them in anything else at home.
  19. I like it as it is, very cool indeed. If it were me, I'd leave as is, and just get on with enjoying it. I think it looks great!
  20. I agree. CA was a great way to finish. As for TFE...got it's moments, although I'm not sure how 'Dog Years' made it in! Then again, there's always 'I Think I'm Going Bald'.....!!
  21. I've had both. The MIJ was wafer thin, whereas the MIM I had (this was back in 2014) definitely had more of a thickness. In fact, I'd say that the MIM was the better instrument out of the two. Felt nicer, cracking tone. Like an idiot, I sold it on. Bad decision in retrospect!
  22. .....oh no they're not! http://teamrock.com/news/2017-08-29/rush-leelifeson-no-new-band
