I have a friend who is having a birthday party on Saturday. He's asked me to bring the bass. The guy who is entertaining is an established pianist. A conundrum. I have no problem playing, or are scared of jamming with anyone. Ive been jamming for 15 years with good and bad. But I feel a little uncomfortable turning up, rolling in the amp etc etc.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1455526497' post='2979735'] Wow. Do people actually wear this stuff? [/quote]I'm not a fan. like tshirts saying bass players do it deeper etc etc.

Love it. I think these are one of the best six string basses ever made. Love the necks. I love the early TRB 6 basses. They have a great clarity but awsome growl. Check out the awsome Deborah Killings on a JP. http://youtu.be/jeZK9BD90F4

I think Victor Wooten,s 2 part playing on this Earth Wind and Fire record is just so so great. So very musical. http://youtu.be/j03KHvXaBZg

http://youtu.be/ye5TdIpQtx8 it's just superb.James Jamersons pissed, laying on his back recorded this bass line.

I will add this from Ozrics. The bass playing is just awsome. Nothing too complicated, but when I think of groove, I think of this. He just lays this bassline down very well with great feel and impecable timing. http://youtu.be/T9BD3JS2DRI

Iconic bass line for sure is Good Times. But of course there is no pinnacle. But my favourite is Willie Weeks on Donny Hathaway Little Ghetto Boy. It's just sublime bass playing.

The legends are playing at there home town again. 23rd and 24th of December. I will so be going with the gang. https://m.evensi.uk/christmas-with-incognito-the-jazz-cafe/187348039

I just sent them an email. Got one back asking for pictures etc. Does this mean I'm getting a replacemental. ? YAY.!!

Sorry I cant help but post this amazing record http://youtu.be/buadfz2qcbY

[quote name='SpcMnk' timestamp='1476569786' post='3155367'] I've seen het live with the 'Bitter' tour in 1999 on the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Hague. I didn't know what hit me. Still one of my favorite albums ever! [media]http://youtu.be/-6L6ZC67yeI[/media] [/quote]Loyalty from that album is great. Her live. http://youtu.be/eG-kMf2uhQ0

I think this is such an amazingly well put together peice of music. The album that it comes from is also superb. I love early Police like Sycronicity 2. Really fantastic music. But Ten Summoners Tales is just one of the greatest albums. Like him or not, his music is really good. Imo http://youtu.be/pG7_gceIFL4

Her slap and her fingerstyle groove is just so awsome. Everything I think is great in a dynamic bassist I see in her. http://youtu.be/idtkbioKcnY

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1476561013' post='3155281'] OK...based on the recommendations of my fellow BCers I ordered Peace beyond Passion, Plantation Lullabies and Cookie: the Anthropological Mixtape. Andrew costing me money again.... [/quote] ha ha Trust me brother. It's money well spent.

I really would like to play a Pino custom shop though

I've got to be honest. I've owned about 7 Fender Jazz basses and not one did I think, wow this is a really great instrument. The only one that came close was an MIJ 1975 RI,amazing tone but it was heavy. I had a CS 1970 Jazz bass Ltd to 50 instruments. It really did nothing for me. Wasn't made that we'll, had a gap in the neck pocket, didn't sound great. This was a £3000 instrument. Possibly way beyond that now. I really would like to play one of the new AV 74 jazz basses though. But all in all I just don't fall for Fender anymore, there is just too much of a negative. Paying over a grand for a chance it might be good and taking the pickguard off and there is a big hole in the bass and that awful routing around the pickups. .. Ta ta. I'm not a Maruszczyk fan boy because i have one, but its proof you can do it way way better and way way cheaper. I want to like Fender as a jazz bass man but they make it very difficult to want there instruments

From Peace Beyond Passion. It's just fantastic music imo. http://youtu.be/wZPCYLAqxiU

From Cookie. http://youtu.be/_zd6rarszJo

I was introduced to her with Plantation Lullabies which is very funky and has that Meshell sound, but Peace Beyond Passion is one of the greatest albums I've ever listed to. Her piano playing and bass work is just sublime. Her album Cookie, The Anthropological Mix Tape, is also very cool. A mix of hip hop funk and soul. She's in my sig pic photography by a really great photographer I can't remember. The thing is I kind of lost her later stuff, but like Prince changed over the years, you have to keep the faith.

Damn her playing is killer on Josh,s album. http://youtu.be/I9eED6Krl14

She is not just a great bass player. She's a profound musician. Her music and lyrics never gets old http://youtu.be/lSsyozoHxJc
