Such a great record, what a drummer, fantastic use of a 5 string bass. his playing is just…. WOW. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcflT1yb1To[/media]

[quote name='Steve48' timestamp='1416089250' post='2606856'] Hi guys, I guess this has been asked numerous times. What is the difference between these two bases. I don't just mean pickups etc.. I want to know all views before I start looking. Thanks in advance. [/quote]it has been asked many times, but your lucky your not on Talk Bass.your in god hands. sorry i meant good's hands.

is there nothing that guy can't do.

pretty cool. you don't see this very often.. its on face book page. http://www.facebook.com/groups/241063189307985/

is it possible to get reply notifications for posts and topics on BC. just wondering.

Why not buy an electric piano. I have a Yamaha p35 and the piano voices are way better than any upright for the same money. Never needs maintaining . You could pick one up for that sort of money

i will write a review of this bass shortly.. is there any 5 string that can touch it for the price.? its easily as good if not better(because of its thunderous/focussed low B string than a Sadowsky Metro and about £700 cheaper. i had a Sadowsky RV5 and the B string was flabby compared to this bass. Its one of the later Indonesian made basses with theLH3 and Lakland pickups. I've only ever played 34" scale basses.. never even noticed the 35" scale.

never liked the look of them, and i really think they add nothing tonally. maybe structurally they add a feel to the neck you can't get with a DC.. i just think its bass construction over design.. i think the design of a bass is coming its limits, and has been for a while. i think the builders only have so much to go on to improve. i think perfection comes from construction, not new ideas. the music has the new ideas, not the instrument.

Jose is THE best person I've ever dealt with on BassChat. great correspondence, very laid back, one of those guys that give BassChat a good name.. deal with this guy in total confidence.. thanks Jose.

[quote name='Dwilson Guitars' timestamp='1415478540' post='2600835'] Hi there , can I be bold and put my self forward to sunburst your bass , if it's clear / natural I could use your existing finish as a sealer and sand half off then burst over it to keep the cost down , checkout my face book page DWilson Guitars or my web dwilsonguitars , Best regards David [/quote]you can be so bold David, and expect a PM.

love this guys timing, and feel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptp9W36xM-w

they all seem to pale in comparison to a Lakland 55-02.

as soon as i hear the word groove i think of this.! its just superb .... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1rX9E8NuRw[/media]

yeah i reckon its worth it... i can strip everything from the body, but i don't really want to start stripping the original finish..

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1415221088' post='2598150'] I think you could save yourself a lot of trouble by purchasing a bass with a high gloss burst finish. There are a lot out there. Blue [/quote]erm.. thanks, I'm aware of all the sunburst basses out there. and i don't mind the trouble, thats why I'm asking.

Maybe looking to get a natural bass refinished in a burst.. Ive looked around and it seems it around the the £250 mark.. Has anyone had this done to a bass body.. Im aware of Sims, but they are expensive.. just trying to get and idea of whats involved.. i can probably strip the bass of electronics etc.. is this necessary to have the body just bare wood.? i want a burst with a high gloss finish. any ideas.

Sorry Richard i stand corrected, . i hadn't seen your name at the end the end of any other Incognito posts.. WOW , one of my musical heroes..! your basslines have been such a joy to listen to over the years. can't believe it took me this long to realise.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1414238404' post='2587363'] Might not get any thanks here, but Rocco is way too mechical and it just isn't funky, IMO. U.K guy I used to like, Jerome Rimson. You can't ignore Jaco, as you know. You can get great lines from a pick and heavy muting. Anthony Jackson and Bobby Vega... who is great at whatever he does.. [media]http://vimeo.com/72357168[/media] [/quote]that guy has some great feel. he explains his technique very well also. actually that guy is awesome. i learned a lot from that.

Rocco has played some of the funkiest bass lines ever written. but beauty in the eye and all that.
