Why? cos its true? did you think he was "Rock and Roll" at some time? (78 maybe?) he had a stuffed dog not a monkey!! J for Joke Ps read my earlier post btw #33 ( I "hint" at the irony) btw Pino allways aknowledges a debt to Jaco in interviews espescially in his "Paul Young " era fantastic player though one of my all time favorites

[quote name='Machines' post='1301273' date='Jul 12 2011, 04:43 PM']The more interviews I see with Jeff Berlin the more I think he's an opinionated arrogant fool.[/quote] Amen and Testify brother,... Testify!!

[quote name='SteveK' post='1301250' date='Jul 12 2011, 04:34 PM']Oh, how I wish I sounded like Jaco when I pick up my fretless [/quote] Amen to that! Jeff Berlin is a "Male Hen" and if he were to come round here with his Bass and Jazz/classical/fusion slant on playing the much ignored and some cases maligned instrument (by the general populace ) I'd say: [font="Arial Black"][size=5]OI! BERLIN NOO![/size][/font] and give him a slap I bet he'd hate the slap bit too Ha!

[quote name='gafbass02' post='1263499' date='Jun 10 2011, 01:15 AM']Apar frOm lifting it. My old ah400smx wAs ace. Scuse the typing. I'm tiddly[/quote] !! good man!

Best? tried 'em all settled on AH 500 Mk IV no frills, no compromise, the dogs, and built like a Tank. "the best at being the best" Ok has needed the odd repair over the years though nothing you would'nt expect from a 25/30 year old amp that has worked hard all over the place. there aint nowt better. If you can find one get it, or let me know and Ill have it. W

Personally,I wouldnt say any thing, or comment in any way, rather just enjoy.... I recently read a comment from Ravi Shankah, (Beatles sitar guru/Player famous George Harrison tutor, HUGE in India still and rightly general Life guru) who now 91yrs young. Ravi; when asked "What advice would you give to a young musician?" replied; "I wouldn't I'd learn from them" And curiously too, Robbie Shakespeare said in circa 1987 (BGM magazine) "Play with everyone, even if you dont think they as good as you, you can learn from everyone" thats I'd guess 150 years of combined experience in playing music good advice better than spending time not "getting" Jaco or Adam Clayton its all good, whoever it is we all want that gig!!

[quote name='Chris2112' post='1258823' date='Jun 6 2011, 07:43 PM']That is something I noticed when I got my first Status, they certainly demand a delicate touch to extract the best from them. They'll show up every imperfection in your playing and your touch just by virtue of their construction, every fluff is amplified and every rattle comes through crystal clear. Settle into them and get used to it though, and you'll find that there are few basses which can sound as good. See the below video for a very good recording of what a Status bass sounds like (and some incredible playing): Listen to those sharply defined lows, the ever-present mids and the bright, musical highs. Each note is so well defined it can take some adjustment of your playing to get the best from them. By comparison, a wooden bass with old strings is a comfy pair of slippers! However Machines, I'm sure you'll find a suitable Status in future, although I suspect it won't be a Stealth! [/quote] Yeah....yadda yadda yadda, but I bet he cant play Mustang Sally though. (dons tin hat)

[quote name='MB1' post='1258962' date='Jun 6 2011, 09:29 PM']MB1. ...Bet he can't eat 3 shredded wheat![/quote] Scrunchie not crunchie

[quote name='Machines' post='1258678' date='Jun 6 2011, 05:48 PM']Sure... [/quote] 'Strewth!! wanna trade for a Status!!? Ha ha haha ha!

Any Pics of the overwater? the decription of it in your signature makes it sound like one hell of a looker.Just curious really.

This is the "kiss like Judas" but, the overwater sounded better in the clips by a country mile. I NEVER thought I'd say that. (I loves my Status I do)

[quote name='Ste Tom' post='1252759' date='Jun 1 2011, 03:11 PM']We are a 3 piece indie/punk style band from Bolton looking for a bass player. Our influences are Stone Roses , Joy Division, U2, Vampire Weekend, Sex Pistols, Siouxsie & the Banshees and many more. We have own material, which we hope to record in the near future. We also do some covers but like to add our own style to them. We practice at Red Bridge Studio's Bolton. If you fancy comin for a jam message me back.[/quote] Bump ste/tom I think I know you dont I? good luck John
