they are just a magnificent bunch of musicians and vocalists.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-V_-vlN5yI

hes a bad ass drummer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY3tzNUjoHc

he sells records because there are millions of teenagers who buy his records. i wouldn't want to take away what they enjoy. i would hate if anyone dissed Shakin Stevens when i was 10. anyone seen him play the drums. ? he's a bad ass on the sticks.

what was his preferred bass to record.? i heard he prefered a jazz bass to his Hofner or Ricky. I'm sure he might of used all them in his career

A long time favourite, seen them live so many times i can't remember. the best was in the Jazz Cafe with Carleen Anderson and Ndea Davenport.. love Andrew's under rated bass lines. the music has always been consistantly good. i do prefer there early stuff from Trunk Funk, to think they formed in 1985 under the name Brother International. such a fantastic band.

The hole is to do with the CNC machine that carves the bass body as well as the pickup routing etc..

musically it does nothing for me. but i recognise and applaud him for his vision. he is an artist in the true sense of the word.

Are Sires that good. really.? what preamp do they have.?

you can't have a CK thread without this. written by Prince, harmonica from Stevie Wonder, Rapping from Melle Mel. Synth bass by David Frank. the slap part was played by Chaka. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX9E44mClKs[/media]

[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1448456689' post='2915553'] I just love everything about Chaka! She is hands down the best female singer of all time IMO. [/quote] been listening to her music since i was 10 and shes in my top 5 for sure. I feel for You is, although not so much electric bass, there are still some great bass lines on it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf0HP-Fewvg[/media] this is still one of my favourite Chaka (Rufus) tracks. fantastic music.! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnkUw0OURnE[/media]

Found this. didn't know Luther backed on vocals. [url="http://www.discogs.com/Chaka-Khan-Naughty/release/436110"]http://www.discogs.c.../release/436110[/url] Willie plays on this one. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Uo46Qs638Y[/media] not from Naughty but this is an all time favourite. fantastic bass from Abraham Laboriel [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZEMoXjl-Xg[/media]

i always thought that Glock preamps have a little HiFi.

Not just some of the best music I've ever heard, but some of the best bass playing ever recorded imo. Anthony Jackson on the first (his bass playing is just so wonderful) and Marcus Miller on the second record. can anyone tell me what record Willie Weeks played on.?

Im in conundrum. i adore the 55-02 i own but I'm not sure i need a 5 string, thing is I'm not in a band that maybe needs a 5 string.if i let it go, i want to find the right four string Jazz bass. It has to be a jazz bass obviously, but I have my reservations about Fenders. what i would really like is a Jo Osborne, or a Moon Jazz Bass. don't get me wrong i would take a Fender, but as we all know the good ones are hard to find, and once you have traded, there is no turning back. any thoughts.?
