ha ha.! excellent Pete.

Listening. Well IMO thats one of the best starts. Its whats its all about. Its innocent, and thats where i think music always comes from.

What the f*** is the 808 dink.? i presume its that keys/sync sound..?

One of my favourite bands of all time. The UK's finest at one point in time. Loose Ends made some rubbish imo, but when Carl Mcintosh and his band did it right, they really did it right. I adore soul music and music like this reassures me. Hangin on a String i think is a masterpiece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz1kvk9qeWI

This album and bass with its humbucker and active pre imo shook up the world. We all know what bass Tim is playing. One of the best slap intros to a record. http://youtu.be/rqkMsXcHQYg

Very Gaslighting Abbie maybe very later Steely Dan.I think it's that piano chord progression that you might imagine Donald Fagan to come out with. Imo

Just a magical bass line he wrote to imo, make a groove and add harmony where there might not have been on a pop record. http://youtu.be/EIdzGh01QIA

I just think this is great. Amazing keys and overdub vocals from Ed at the start. great bass playing. Fantastic horn section. Totally on point groove. I love him and all he has ever recorded. Him at the Jazz Cafe with Incognito was amazing. http://youtu.be/-Zm8Ki6WtJo

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1483111176' post='3204820'] I don't play drums and I'm not great at anything. Blue [/quote] Blue, you are as great at your opinion, as I am posting soul and funk. Both subjectively great. Bub.

I was pointing out that Mr Bieber was a little more talented than what's on the surface. Jeez. I'm not saying he's as good a Drummer as you Blue or any other of you great drummers out there. 😉

Like maybe you've not seen him before. Awsome stuff and a great talent. Pity it's been lost along the way. http://youtu.be/wW9Saj9V-js

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1482779811' post='3202710'] Agreed ,but only to a degree. As a bass player I'm going to notice your ability a lot more than the sound of whatever bass your playing. Blue [/quote]I'm talking about the sound of different basses.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1482778340' post='3202690'] How I sound is a result of how much I practice and learn and ultimately own as a part of my playing skill set. Those with a high level of ability are going to sound great on a Ric and they will sound great on a Jazz as well. If you lack ability no bass is going to make you sound good. Take the marginal player that buys a Music Man bass, he's still going to sound marginal. Now, I will say that buying that Music Man bass might be the catalyst that encourages that player to invest more time and structured study into the craft. Ultimately making him a better player and obviously sounding better. Blue [/quote]How you sound of course is your technique. But your going to sound different on different basses. Let's not over think this Jeez what's not to understand.????

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1482685048' post='3202210'] Hmmm... "...He would like me to continue my piano practice and I do love playing..." My thought FWIW is there are a load great basses out there that you could save up for. There's only one Piano your dad gave you... [/quote]I should have put that differently. I like playing piano but I don't see myself making good use of such an instrument.
