Emma hear, Andrew let me loose on his account. when i hear this guy do his thing, it just boggles my mind as to how good this guy was. on par with Mr Wonder in my opinion. what would he have gone on to do.? then Mr Weeks's incredible bass line. just a joy to listen to is this. thank you good bye lovely people. xx http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLUh70zp0LE

can any one see the difference between these two electric bassists.? which do you prefer.? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqxVJp6fhaI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHdN_O5k3WM

very cool. love it dude.

can we have a slap off.?

this just moves me every time. musically i had never heard anything quite like Peace Beyond Passion. blew me away. i still listen to this album and i get the same feeling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyS1MDwQAhc

all i can say is, i want her bass. old vid but what a musician. ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG-kMf2uhQ0

i stumbled across this vid yesterday. I had he pleasure of seeing these guys/girls at the NEC many years ago, and they really were incredible. the bass player was off the wall. but what was really incredible was Charlie Wilson's voice. i don't know if anyone has seen this band live but i sh*t you not Charlies's voice is just something else. i thought Anita Baker was good live. just reminded me of seeing/hearing him. i remember his voice was so powerful, proper gospel power.. this sort of music keeps a smile on my face. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNbvXwjB6ts

an unattractive bass, with the usual unattractive Warwick price tag. would love to play a Streamer to see what all the fuss is about.

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1394822848' post='2395688'] !!! The Nightfly is a masterpiece! Vibrancy and Spark? Listen to 'Walk between the Raindrops'! Anywho, here he is speaking about another classic: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP_2r9zbaIY[/media] [/quote]Walking Between the RainDrops is a real favourite of mine. what a great vid. amazing to watch a magician of music, dissect how he created such a masterpiece of a record chord by chord. he does find something different and interesting in every chord

from what i have heard, its a growing concept depending on how popular it will become.

whenever i hear someone say, they do it for the sound, sorry (TMIT), or its a slap fest, apart from other amazing bassists, i think of Mr Kabas. imo some of the most musical slap playing. well that I've heard . it can be done so well, i actually forget he's slapping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOJzRxlBRhI

i was a jazz bass. now I'm more of a double bass.

your welcome Myke.

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1394748065' post='2394873'] I'm just so sick of watching demo videos of basses and/or amps and having nothing but a slap-fest racket going on. That's when the video become more of a bit of w**kery for the player than a demo of the instrument. Beside, IMO, all basses sound the same when slapped - like they're just been thrown down the stairs. [/quote]with respect i couldn't disagree more with what you've just said. i would say stop watching crap demo vids. and imo no, not all basses sound the same slapped, you live in a different world to what i can hear in more ways than one. i think maybe listen to some guys who can play, before come out with such bold statements. do you have a grasp of the technique yourself.?

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1394747319' post='2394856'] Tapping never sounds good though. [/quote]really.? subjective of course, but i think it can be very musical in the right context.

Been playing a lot of this guy lately. really superb tight music. do i speak Portuguese, no. do i care nope. he really has the feel and sound of the great Black Banda Rio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZpMmD3M-ts

they need a few more (Fender) body colour options imo, but good call fender, a step in the right direction. you can get your neck plate personalised also. and do remember this is not the Custom Shop, but also i do wonder what the cost would be.? also like the fact they will put a Jazz neck on a P Bass.

i think every Bass builder should have this option. Xotic have been doing it for ages. bit of fun really. [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/american-design/instruments/"]http://www.fender.co...gn/instruments/[/url] my favourite combo's
