i think the thread has worn its self out somewhat.

oh dear there really are some sheltered bass players on this forum.

i dont give a monkeys how well they do or how much money they make. cant think of any memorable winner or music. some people are pretty good.. the problem is within the production behind these winners. its bloody awful throw away music. i dont think its much to ask, to have decent music on TV.. ever wondered why knowone plays a musical instrument on the X Factor. its all about making as much money as possible. there not bothered about the quality of the music. why would Simon Cowell give a sh*t about the integrity of what hes putting out. hes not a musician.

i personally think the X Factor is a bad influence on kids, that might of heard better music. but then again i was into shakin stevens when i was younger, and i ended up being passionate about Stevie Wonder. good or bad its up to the individual i guess.. i cant help but think i wanted to be brought up with Stevie all the time though

you know the half of Petes thread was meant for groove.???? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDcIPLq_Hss&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ&index=658"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDcIPLq_Hss&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ&index=658[/url]

try out the Fender Select series jazz basses. they are awsome. basically its a 60's pickup spacing jazz bass with a preamp. im very fussy with my preamps, and i tell you Fender have this down. sounds like a cross between a 60's and a 70's jazz bass. which is a very good thing imo. but they are not cheap.

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1377985453' post='2194489'] You never have anything nice to say. You really are a miserable bar steward. I bet you don't even respond to this post.......... [/quote]im with Pwte on this one. its really awful. nothing at all to do with music.

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1377945831' post='2193884'] Highly unusual to see you lusting after a boutique jazz Andrew! They look very nice. [/quote]Yes its very out of character, but i really want to try something different.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1377868283' post='2193006'] Something as simple as this has so much more soul and feel. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0rkcQGOCj4[/media] [/quote]for sure Wayne. i dig this. i have no more to say.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1377856314' post='2192736'] ...from [i]Kamakiriad[/i], possibly the most disappointing album ever to emerge fro the Steely Dan stable [/quote]that song was written by Donald, not Steely. hes quite different you know. but seriously that is easily one of his best albums.

i may have posted this before. its some of the best soul funk ive heard. there is not alot i can fault. thats not saying much coming from muggins. but imo, its some awsome groove. his voice is just amazing.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1377867325' post='2192980'] This is probably hersey, but they need scratch plates IMO [/quote] they do have the classic range Roland. http://www.moon-guitar.co.jp/jb4_cl.html

i was referring to others peoples posts to be honest Nige. my point was i dont like the thought of every bassist holding down a root or something so daring as a fifth, or a double stop. blimey lets not even think of modes.

i have a problem, im a problem jazz bass player. i driibble like Homer when i see there website. the 35th anniversary jazz basses are lovely. as are the JB5's. the sunburst jj4 is really nice.. the Larry Graham sig is very cool also. you can translate the website if you google Moon Guitars Japan. http://www.moon-guitar.co.jp/jj4.html

i dont know much about Warwicks but i played a 5 string streamer a while back, same as a $$ corvette 5 i had for a while. in no way did way did i find them uncomfortable, and im a jazz man

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1377859965' post='2192835'] The title of this thread is three words too long... ;-) [/quote] but i beg to differ. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHdN_O5k3WM

i couldnt bear the thought of bass playing being constricted in any way, like it or not. Music is about evolution. we wouldnt have some of the greats if musicians didnt push a boundary or two.. cant get my head around such old fashion views, that some seem to have

i jest of course. i dont like knocking anyones playing, but it gets to a point where its so bad, i just cant keep it in. anyways its was about 25 years ago.. i shouldnt mock but i cant help it. i just hope that knowone in the 80's learned anything from this guy. love the SLAP on the top of his bass. thing is when he breaks his playing, down hes not bad at all..

not sure if this has been posted before, but my sister sent me this. great live sound i think.. Synchronicity 2 which is second is great. always been a favorite song ....................... excuse me ladies and gentlemen, a slight technical hitch. thank god that wasnt my secret Shakin Stevens video.
