I think this is a great pop soul record from this guy and Daft Punk. A great bass fill's workout around those changes I've had this afternoon. Its a great record for practicing certain fills etc because of the space in between. Its a great record with the DP influence. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kx-ke9RKww[/media]

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1485011894' post='3220393'] Just out of curiosity, where do you rest your thumb when playing the B string? Against the body, or on hardware e.g. pickup? [/quote]On the back pickup. It seems I like the tone there for a tighter B string. But I will put my thumb on the a string and rest my upper hand on the E and B string as well as left hand muting.

I will probably always use a 5 string now. It just works for me. I can play in positions i cant with a 4, and sixers are either too heavy, and i dont use the high C. The low B is always there for the music i play and love. So the 5ver is the perfect solution for me. I use the B string as a thumb rest and a mute. Does anyone else use this technique when playing a 5 string.

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1484748802' post='3218053'] There are definitely more than 3 players at once. I wonder if it's overdubs or if there were more in the band? Great stuff anyway, thanks! EDIT: I got to here from the comments on youtube, funky!

Thankyou.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1484743926' post='3217973'] Man! You're like some sorta super sleuthing muso hunter. Thanks for that. I'm bopping my nut off! [/quote]Ahh. Glad to be of service my friend. He plays bass on this also. No idea which parts.

My favourite singer of all time.Magical soul music.

This is just fantastic. !!!!!! Check out his keys playing at 19.00 and throughout... Just WOW. Cymone's bass playing great also. Did anyone know he did an album with Miles Davis also.??

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1484603254' post='3216807'] Unless the controls on your bass do something very different such as the filter EQ of the Wal or ACG, or they allow you to EQ each pickup separately, I really can't see the point as all they do is duplicate what you should already have available on your amp. [/quote]That depends on the preamp. As you know,some preamps have a sound that might be preferable to the player,that they can't get from there amplifier.

Could be a nice refine project for someone, might even be able to knock them downquite a bit. Why he's stated, it's in good condition is beyond me. Looks like he's just copied/pasted the description. Awsome basses though. I wonder what the pups/electronic s are like. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/on-sale-yamaha-trb-6-6-string-bass-guitar-90-s-blue-green-%C2%A3999-only/1210421955

The whole album is just fantastic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqYAeNKqnV8

seems like she might be just doing cheltenham which seems odd. http://www.cheltenhamfestivals.com/jazz/whats-on/2017/meshell-ndegeocello/?gclid=CN-UmIy9utECFYM4Gwod_AUGdg

Its a really lovely bass, and i have to say i love the look.. sexy Jazz Bass. but Fodera price there basses on there name. Its a Fodera, and they know it. You just know its gonna feel awesome though.

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1484087477' post='3212657'] so I was going to come on here and say what a travesty to the EWAF version this was, then I actually listened to the Victor version, and WTF I thought it was actually really good! So Thank You bubinga5 for broadening my horizons. And now Ive checked out the Creative Source Version! [/quote]Thank Betafunk for that. Glad you liked it as much as i did.

Bass. Its still Donny with Willie Weeks on bass. This bass playing is up there with Jamerson, Pino. Its just amazingly musical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLUh70zp0LE

This is without doubt one of the best voices I've ever heard. Donny Hathaway. Music from the master. Yes it gives me the goosers. Its EPIC. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VckU7vzUzCk[/media]

Meshell is doing some dates around the UK, Stopping off at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival. Playing on the same stage as Clint Eastwood's son a few years back.. Magical music. and she always gets the bass out, as that is what is her. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZPCYLAqxiU[/media]

Originally by Creative Source (thank you Beta Funk) then more famously done by my bread and butter, Earth Wind and Fire. I just think his playing is so musical. I have this album, but strangely only listen to this and other record. The rest is ermm not to my taste. But imo, this is phenomenal playing. He records the bass in 2 parts, as you can hear. On his technical ability alone its just way out there, but the way he plays around those chords is just so very clever..I love Steve Harris Meshell, Marcus Miller, Pino, but know one does it like Victor. ... Not everyones bag, but it ticks me boxes. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j03KHvXaBZg[/media]

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1484077664' post='3212531'] Be interested to try one. Same price level as the Dingwall Combustions so stiff competition, but only really comparable with their Super J/ Super P which of course is very much more expensive. I am not entirely sold on the concept of fanned frets at that kind of scale length, though. Amazingly useful for lower tunings and a strong 5th string at the full 37-34 inch fan, not sold on the usefulness and effectiveness of a fan from 34.5 to 32.5, although this is actually a longer scale than the Dingwall Super J/P! [/quote]I really don't think he needs to make them. Unless for a specific order. Maybe he's just showing what he can do.. Which is pretty astounding imo. How he makes basses so amazing for the price is anyones guess.

Grangur.

Bass Direct seem to have a lot more stock, of Adrian Maruszczyk's basses. [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MARUSZCZYK_INSTRUMENTS.html"]http://www.bassdirec...NSTRUMENTS.html[/url] Can i say i absolutely love the Cort GB5's. I know Randy HOPE Taylor playes one.
