[quote name='MilkyBarKid' timestamp='1460639392' post='3027483'] Really like the bass on this - do you know who's playing? [/quote]Its Pino Palladino.

Yep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4lCTVFTXCw

First off i think the guy is a genius. What a singer/ organist. Not in the same POP way that Prince is/was, but a very special musician all the same. Always has great musicians playing for him. Well Pino for one.i just think the music he makes is fantastic. Its all about the music. Ive loved this guys music since Brown Sugar when i was in my 20's. i can't say he doesn't remind me of Prince and got his influence from him.

A funky record from Down to the Bone with Julian Crampton on bass that stays on the same groove for a while, but when the chords change i think its brilliant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VtQ962tH20

[quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1460470092' post='3025965'] Hmmm. My favourite music style is funk. These guys can lay down a [i]tight[/i] groove, that's for sure. However, for me, I was waiting for the piece to develop a bit more - to go somewhere else and come back again. Maybe I'm too used to listening to and playing pop-funk, but I found myself listening for the hook in that video. After a while, I found myself thinking: - Yes, that great. What happens now, then? Lots of Meters in there. [/quote]i don't think that groove is about chord changes etc. its just a groove. i used to to think that, about SOME funk, not all. but then my taste from that specific Funk evolved into Soul Funk and Jazz. like Incognito. This groove is unstoppable with some awesome changes. Fantastic bass playing. Maybe too future funk groove for some, but imo it still has groove.

She is such a fantastic musician. She's such a great all rounder. Possibly the best groove bassist, great pianist, her lyrics are profound. but i miss her early music. Plantation Lulabiies, and my favourite, Peace Beyond Passion. that album is in my top 5. its just incredibly well produced, played. just superb. I don't mind her later stuff, but i guess she evolving. maybe i should too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxnsl4E8ea4

Randy HOPE Taylor on Incognito's Magnetic Ocean. His playing through the record is great, the details like little double stops and general groove perfection. but his solo at 2.45 is just……!!! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th-l-YVZzq4[/media]

thanks guys, Its a set of DR Marcus Miller 5 i was after. From Amazon there bloody £50 with postage. Jesus.!!!! String Busters are cheaper me thinks.

I absolutely love Jazz basses. My Maruszczyk Elwood 5 now with Bartolinis

[quote name='happynoj' timestamp='1460284452' post='3024301'] I think that the 'collectibility' of vintage instruments is more down to sentimentality and myth than anything else. The main brand which does well in the vintage market is Fender, which is probably because they are the biggest company in the market, they're the most copied company in the market, they've been around for longest, and people remember wanting Fenders when they were kids because their hero played one. There is also the perception that Fenders of various periods are better (pre-CBS, etc), but because all of the pre-CBS models have been snatched up and now command astronomical prices, people moved onto the later basses which are now all more expensive, and now even the 80s stuff is starting to rise in price, which is funny because as far as I was aware, everyone seems to think that the 80s stuff is crap. Because of this, the market is huge, demand is huge, and sellers can ramp up the prices because people will pay them. Warwick doesn't have any of that stuff. They've only been around since the 80s, no one makes copies of their instruments, and the only people whose childhood heroes played them are people in their mid to late 20s because of the Nu Metal wave of the early 2000s (I'm one of them). The number of buyers for Warwicks is tiny compared to Fender, so if people try to sell Warwicks for high prices they just don't sell, because the demand and the mythology just isn't there. [/quote]good point well said.

There are a few albums i have heard different versions of this from Frank. He sounds like Donny Hathaway to me. He plays the piano and vocals on this. check out the bass playing on that 5 string. its so tasteful.what an excellent bassist this guy is.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k1YaeRcT-I[/media]

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1459952598' post='3021199'] Those layers sound like something done on a looper. Nice groove though. I think League's enthusiasm is genuine, he just really digs doing that stuff. He always comes across as being incredibly humble too. Often the case with true musicians, especially in jazz circles, I've found. [/quote]yep.

Like i say. Thanks for any info.

I always thought the heavier the gauge the richer the tone, but also takes more effort for ones attack on the strings.

I always use DR string's. Usually MM Fat beams. do you ever notice a deeper tone when you go to a heavier gauge.? What gauge do you usually go for. Im aware it depends on your playing style.

The Elwood 5's will keep up easily with Sadowsky Metros. My Elwood 5 is so playable. They leave Fender in there wake.

this is panty wetting phenomenal finger style from the master on a 5 string. his slap is obviously fantastic but i reckon his finger style is better. When he plays he really plays. He plays a stock Miller Fender 5 string on this record. he told me that when i met him. yes that is my claim to fame. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1Y3AOdEMM0[/media]

[quote name='40hz' timestamp='1459822841' post='3020029'] I dug into this ages ago and it turns out it was some little known, London based producer that played on the album version of Space Cowboy. I'll see if I can find the relevant link again! [/quote]if you can dig any deeper than i dug 40hz your a better digger than thee. could it possibly be that its not even an electric bass being played.?

Just a short question. Just asking what you think of the Delano sound. i have a Delano Sonar 2 and a set of j5 Delano pickups?

Johann Asmundsson imo is such a fantastic bass player. Ive always love Mezzoforte. I bought the live in Reykjvik DVD and i was blown away. great playing on that Sadowsky, but when the drummer plays his bass with his sticks. i was like.! well thats something i dont see in a band very often. Great tasteful slap playing the man anyways. Check his solo slap playing @ 2.20 followed by the great drummer Gunni Briem playing his bass on the sticks. Check out also a certain percussionist from early Incognito. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyyp0pgaELY[/media]

gotta love Groove Collective. my first love of Bass was Randy Taylor and Jonathan.

Its a Hamer Impact, from 92 i believe. apart from a alembic Rouge 5 i saw once, this my favourite bass of all time. You don't see many Hamer's about these days. There were 12 of these specific instruments made with the EMG soap bars.they are so rare and thats why i want one. Rare as a rocking horses fart. It must sound epic. they must cost a fortune. That flame maple all the way through the body to the neck. what a bass.
