I saw that trio playing in Brecon Jazz several years ago. Absolutely amazing. The version of "Take the A Train" they did was awesome. Good God Gadd Is Good.....

Robbie Ameen is the drummer. It's well worth getting that book.

Get "afro cuban grooves for drums and bass" very good book!!!

Er....guys.....it's a video by "Expert Village" - It must be correct!! Or are people lying on the internet now.....?no....surely not..... So that girl on myspace doesn't really think i'm the sexiest person ever....? oh man Ahh satire - where would i be without you?

The melody is too disjointed in that simpsons thing... No flow and very little groove. A novelty with no substance methinks. Not sure i'm into the facial expressions...

[quote name='bassaussie' post='29309' date='Jul 9 2007, 07:19 PM']Rickenbackers.[/quote] I'll second that

Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the key of life" band... Nathan Watts on Bass I was named after him too....!

YO It's a Digitech Jam-man. They're sooo cool. Very easy to use and if anyone from Digitech is reading this - how bout some free stuff....?!?! joke...!

I get my gear for free. I think it depends on the company. I know that EBS only give gear to people like Marcus Miller and Mark Bass don't even give Mr Berlin his stuff for free.... Ampeg are very kind.

Yeah - I play all the time! One of the Ampeg guys saw my youtube video too and has heard music I write and produce. Got some tunes up here if you wanna check em... www.myspace.com/nategroove

Tee - how d'ya mean? They want me to do demos etc... I got a video on youtube of me playin with my loop pedal.... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6wG71TR2_0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6wG71TR2_0[/url] just bout to incorporate a Yamaha G-50 into the old set up. yum

Drums - Steve Gadd or Jeff Porcaro Percussion - Alex Acuna or Paulinho da Costa Bass - Jamerson or Jaco Guitar - Paul Jackson JR and Micahel Sembello Keys - Stevie Wonder! Vocals - Stevie Wonder or Michael McDonald or Chaka Kahn Horns - Tower of Power horns!!! Not sure about BVs though... Voice trumpet - Raul Midon.......check him out

Hey fellow Basschatters...! Thought i'd share my recent good fortune. I've now sorted endorsement deals with Cort, Elixir and Ampeg. Yey! Any other folks here work with companies at all?

Flat wound - defo!! You could probably mess with some octave fx if you don't wanna detune the bass so much that it flaps...

THAT GIRL and BOOGIE ON REGGAE WOMAN by Stevie Wonder are also cool (I wish is obviously awesome too but it's been mentioned!)

THE CHICKEN (made famous by Jaco) Come Together - Beatles Playa Playa (D'Angelo) Pino playing on that - nuff said Too High (Stevie Wonder) Got to work and hang out with Herbie Flowers a couple of weeks ago. What an amazing man. His stories were amazing and his playing is brilliant!! So defo Walk on the wild side!! He'll be on the website I work for www.showmehowtoplay.com Being launched today as far as i'm aware!! Take it easy N

Aim higher... Make sure you're comfortable with what you do. keep in mind that the only BAD technique is the one that hurts you!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6wG71TR2_0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6wG71TR2_0[/url] that'll be me....

Surely it's better to aim higher than mark king....

Victor Wooten Stanley Clarke Larry Graham Abe Laboriel Marcus Miller They're some of the best slap teachers..... Listen and copy them! Good musicians don't borrow - they steal. Copy things and adjust them for your own style...

Thank you! Appreciate it...

Hey! Hows it goin? everythings cool here. Workin harder than ever unfortunately!! ha.. Thanks for the kind words!! Hope you and yours are well!!

I know what you mean bout avoiding the whole Jaco tone...! Didn't mean to put a sh*tt*r on anything!! Thought the tune was cool...! Take it easy (but take it!) N

Sounds good dude! Think I would have gone for a thicker sound on the old fretless but the whole thing sounds good! Garage band is such a cool thing to get on a mac as standard!

Think I'm gonna have to try a few more before I spend... I had a go on Laney's new bass stuff at the guitar show - didn't really like any of it. It weighed more then a house. I think my next purchase will be between EBS and MARK. Think MARK has the edge at the minute... heres my video again (shameless..!)

Might look into that...
