[quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1457231060' post='2996607'] I need the NYC because my shoulder is screwed so only light weight basses for me. The neck on the Sire is fantastic IMO, and in my case preferable to my Sadowsky. [/quote]Im sure the Sire is great but its not Sadowsky NYC great surely.

Its early 90's Marcus Miller, I'm sure some of you have seen this before. Just wonderful finger style playing from Marcus on the intro. Amazing playing from Everette Harp on sax. Poogie Bell is just.!!! Marcus never stops amazing me, with his playing, or his musical brain. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf8-o1EJ0e0[/media]

What preamp's do these basses have in them.?

Andre Berry with Mr Sanborn. with a not so good Run For Cover. lovely sounding bass though.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-_D5bpeF1Y[/media]

Yep she's a fox. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvIydHPhb98[/media]

i can't really listen to music if it is at 100% volume. It distracts me from actually listening to the music.. Im missing the point i guess.

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]They are all great bass player's, Nicky West, Tal, Deborah Killings, Divinity Roxx etc. but none imo come close to the woman in my sig picture. Check out her bass playing on her first album. My first love was Plantation Lullabies, which was an early introduction to Meshell, then i heard this.

Debora Killings on a 6 string Yamaha.? she's like Janice on steroids. She is so good at improvising on the bass while singing. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeZK9BD90F4[/media]

Slightly off topic but not so much i can't post this mind bending rendition of EWF's Cant Hide Love from Victor Wooten. What a f***in bass player this guy is.! Beautiful 2 part playing from a real master of our instrument. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCqpBsIwpfg[/media]

[quote name='AREA' timestamp='1456490479' post='2989544'] After 3 Rehearsals, I can say it was a very good Decision to go with Alder/Rosewood instead of an Ash Body this Time. Sounds amazing. Feels like a very good Addition to my Laki 55-02 wich is Ash/Maple.

I suspect those control knobs will be changed soon.?

[quote name='julesb' timestamp='1456214453' post='2986577'] Good call. This is worth an hour of anyone's time. No widdling, just great bass playing and with an antigua P bass... [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU0d4FtYRjs"]https://www.youtube....h?v=wU0d4FtYRjs[/url] [/quote] I watched all the way through. Excellent.!!! I have this live Maze in New Orleans on CD. Its brilliant, nice to see the live video. Nice one Julesb.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1456495500' post='2989637'] That's just plain stupid. Why ? Good for you wearing earplugs though. Loud music, and playing loud is one of my pet hates. [/quote]Mine too. I used to know this guy who insisted on listening to everything loud. I would go round his house and music was blasting out. Why.? For one i don't want Tinnitus and two, I'm not a teenager. It also reminds me of the dreaded boy racer.

The one that got away was a Sei 5 string Jazz bass, it had an olive wood top, Bartolini pups and a J East preamp. It had 19mm spacing but a neck to die for. it also had a very thin body and scalloped neck heel that felt so good to hold. I bought it from Molan (Barrie) It was a dream bass. Sounded great and to play it was just amazing. Never played a bass quite like it. I sold it on BC for £900 when i was on hard times. Stupid idiot. i wanted to get it back, and contacted the guy i sold it to. but he wanted stupid money, which i thought was a bit crap of him. couldn't afford it at the time. Would sell all my gear to get it back now.

This record.! there instrumental stuff, is fantastic, but there injection of soul into there funk is very very great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q-EESSW6B0

Hopefully, Pete the legend, that is Pete Academy who started this thread, is back soon. I have learned so much music from himself, and great funk loving BCer's. I hope he is well and will post some killer tracks soon. Just to get you back on a funky track Peter, check this sh*t out. you will probably get my FB message before you get this Epic George Duke track brother.

Ahh i see,.!! don't watch that much EWF live stuff for it to click. thanks for the info JTK/Guys.

This is really great. Initially i would say no to the Buck Rodgers outfits, but i may be swayed if Phil Bailey said i looked ok. imagine playing bass in this f***in band. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtxV02tyR5A[/media]

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1456058843' post='2984908'] Hey Andrew You were on here bright and early on a Sunday morning - that baby keeping you awake?? [/quote]Yeah something like that. Its more those piggin dogs, the cat and the hamster.!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1456252885' post='2987140'] Sorry to burst your bubble but I think it unlikely you'll find live footage where he plays the bass.. these last 20-25 years.. The bass on the track live is great,..just don't know who is playing it. But, sure, got to love those songs. [/quote]Im a little confused JT.?
