My bread and butter is this woman. Her voice is just magnificent , as is her music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XYGVtX0w1I

[quote name='vbance' timestamp='1458857086' post='3011696'] gotta be Yoko for me. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdZ9weP5i68"]https://www.youtube....h?v=HdZ9weP5i68[/url] [/quote] That is mind boggling.

Subjective as always. There are many i love. Paul Carrack, Micheal Mcdonald, Stevie Wonder. they have voices with real character. instantly recognisable. I had never never been a fan of Bob Dylan but i have warmed to his style. Karen Carpenter is great. Bobby Kimball of TOTO is just fantastic. Of course there is Anita Baker. But Donny Hathaway for me, is way out there. His voice is just hugely powerful. he just controls every note so well. he could sing from the phone book and it would sound amazing.

I think Micheal's young voice is quite astonishing. i hear lots of young fantastic singers on youtube, but none of them touch him. I prefer his voice when he was younger to his voice when his stylised it later. Much more natural. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=270Fr-B4ad0

Its a favorite J5 record. The horns are great. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gvTrG-_NTU[/media]

Its a genre that i adore, some of the best basslines ever recorded imo. . I just wish i was old enough back then to live in America and go to Studio 54 back in the day. A few not so well known crackin disco records.

This is just a fantastic Disco record from Quincy. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwU6pef--To&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ&index=481[/media]

From his Keeping Time album. The fantastic (some say Incognito's finest) Julian Crampton on bass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJFGIEXontw&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ&index=1 imo his funky soul version of Gershwin's classic is a cracker. Incognito's Maysa Leak on vocal's. Great piano playing from Jason. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W8AVWbqTwQ

Any ideas.? Or do i have to get direct from Audere.

Got an Aguilar OBP3 being fitted at the moment. Wasn't a fan of the very hifi Delano.

the saddest piece of music i have ever heard. if you have ever lost someone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5vnE3zD-DU

i think Mark is a great bloke. I went into his shop and he fitted a preamp into a jazz bass i had at the time. He has opinions on a certain brand of bass cab that he loves and also told me of his dislikes, of a certain brand i was playing through. I would prefer someone to have a bit of passion about what he thinks is great, even though i might not agree with him. Its not like he was on a mission to sell this certain brand, as he has lots of brands in stock, but it gave me the impression that he was a bass player who is passionate. He is bass through and through. Anyways, i think its the best shop in the country for Electric Bass. I went into The Bass Gallery and found it a bit snotty. The fact that he's a one man band makes a difference.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1458377374' post='3007017'] She's lost me with all this theatre stuff. Sorry. I preferred her being a musician rather than a "performer". [/quote]Yeah me too, she's not Kate Bush. much prefer her with a bass and her voice.

His slap playing on Night Rhythms is great i think. really adds a bit of punch to a smooth jazz record. nice slap solo also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmsmtF9wMjc

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1458372862' post='3006970'] He is a nice player, good groove. Yes, he is great on the Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin gig. He can solo as well (particularly well on that damn 7 string) [media]http://youtu.be/Z2POePj3-s4[/media] [/quote]WOW that was great.! thanks for posting.

[quote name='julesb' timestamp='1458342890' post='3006914'] This is nuts in all the right ways. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL-aRjjyQpo"]https://www.youtube....h?v=OL-aRjjyQpo[/url] [/quote] Thats erm, very cool. Check her out on a fretless Jazz Bass.

This guy is such a great bass player. If there was ever a bass player that i really dig, its this guy. His playing for me is just spot on. A great mix of slap and finger style. He never over plays, but when he does a fill, its really musical. I always had groove in my bass playing but guys like Melvin taught me some other nuances.. His playing with Lee Ritenour is very cool also. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45Tl4tr00cw[/media]

Aren't all top session bass players versatile.? its what they do.

Forget all the negative hype bullsh*te. BassWood is a great wood for bass bodies. a lot of the reason they paint it over on Fender MIJ/CIJ, is because it doasnt have the grain of Ash. It still has the tone. Music Man Bongo's are proof of that.

Have a Maruczszyk 5 string Jazz bass. Not digging the Delano Sonar preamp in it. which will be for sale soon. Just about to pull the trigger on a new preamp. Im thinking about the OBP2, or on the other hand I'm not sure what onboard preamps Sadowsky offer.The sadowsky onboard with the control plate is a little too expensive. any ideas or any other options.? Im not a fan of the super clean Delano. Warm and fat is what I'm after, to give you a measuring stick.

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1457821282' post='3002163'] To most people a Sei jazz is one of many copies, unless they know basses well it could be only be worth that. I've played in many bands, most of the other musicians in them would never have heard of Sei, ask an audience member what's worth more, a Fender Jazz or a Sei copy, I know which one they will say! [/quote]Yes but there in the business of buying and selling a huge range of goods , so there not 'most people'. the bottom line is, cash converters should know what there buying and selling no matter what the item.

One of the best Hip Hop albums I've bought for a while. Premier is one half of my favourite HipHop crew of all time GangStarr. There is some smokin stuff on this. Vol 1 and 2. Premo has a funky way with HHop. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy6kstVEKPI[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rNipX6kqy0[/media] GangStarr's Full Clip is another double album cracker. Of course with the man himself Guru. RIP.

They haven't a f***ing clue. I was on hard times a while back and unbelievably i wanted to borrow money on a Sei Jazz bass. They said they could only offer me £150. I laughed at him and walked out.
