Ive been on BC for longer than most but have I met many of you. ? A few. I would love to attend the next bass bash if its not too far away. And idea when where the next one is.? Do you need to bring loads of gear. Ideally I would like to just bring a bass... play and hear others play share knowledge etc.

With all respect Mick im not sure about that. One of the greatest bands of all time. They have the biggest following of any soul funk band of all time.

Yep.

The scammer is never going to be able to sell this on without someone noticing.. These Moon 6 strings are really rare.

That fretboard is amazing btw.

jeez... most of these sound like a gym warm up. I stretch my fingers and off I go. 90% of your playing comes from your mind. Thats what I warm up

I met him once many years ago in the 80's and he was such a fantastic person. A really nice down to earth guy. He had all the time in the world to talk to me.. Amazing musician. For me he made FleetWood Mac.

Seminal.

One of my favourites. Everything is cool about this all time favorite band. The legend John Maron on bass.

That right there was fantastic. Thankyou for sharing.

I bought a 40th Jazz. It wasnt perfect but after a bit of setting up it is just superb. And those pickups.! Wowzer.

I had one. I totally hated it. bad fret ends,felt really cheap. And i mean really badly put together Of course i cant speak for every one but your money would be better spent on a Squire imo. I dont care if it had hipshot hardwear i would still stay away.

Does such backing track exist. Im trying to jam with a drummer but we need some backing track with no drums or bass. Just chords.guitar piano. Obviously there may be a click track but can i find them. Nope.

Anyway lets watch a vid of my favourite bread of dog being dxxs 😆

Bless you. Your correct. I hesitate because im not sure exactly what would groove best. I personally love playing that way. I have to think on the fly. I think thats good for any musician.

I think i do alternate if your talking about walking fingers.? Thats the way i taught my self it may have evolved. Not sure what yo mean by the the hard way.? Do you mean James Jamerson.?

Its what I love I love about Bass Chat. You will get a very nuanced balanced opinion. Put the vid on FaceBook. "oh thats amazing Andrew"(usually my sister) 😂 deep down im my worst critique. I guess most musicians are like that.

I gotcha. Ive only played that record once before so my playing probably wasn't as tight as it may have been if I had played it 20 times. but I get what your saying.

Keep in mind I have no compression involved.Im sure most know what compression can add to the bass.. I hit notes that I feel need accentuating. I may be missing the point here but hey ho I will certainly take that on board and positively so. Hmm compression pedals. 🤔.

Thanks soo much for the feedback. I just sat down and played, so didnt really think too much about my timing or fills etc. I would never record like that, im way too OCD. Im reading all the comments and absorbing them all. So thank you. Oh and the Dachshund was just bored I wasn't playing tug the sock with him. 😆

Im not asking anyone to blow smoke up my derrière, Im aware there are some very accomplished musicians on BC. Im just asking for some honest reviews. Its a cover from Bruno Mars/Anderson Pakk's Fly as Me of course. I never seem to play what the original bassist plays and you may be able to tell if you now the original. I tend to add my funkiness if that is possible. Im putting some vids out there to see if I can get some work as a semi pro bass player. Anyways any negatives or positives are welcome.
