[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1362857164' post='2005473'] My main non bass playing musical heros are, in no particular order: Jon Lord Neil Peart Larry Carlton --- edit --- Just though what an awesome band that would have made ... [/quote]im with you on the Larry Carlton, his stuff with steely dan among others is amazing..

we all talk about people who inspires us on the bass, but do you have any other musicians who inspire you, i know this is very subjective but for me this guy is just off the wall... imo hes the best guitarist alive today.. very specific to what music i like of course... his playing is magical.. these clips are live at a guitar show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArNNsdDQEaY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1QMKYzO6M who yours..?

its Filippo Rinaldi on bass and double bass i believe

Jean Paul (bluey) Maunick has a new solo album out for those who like incognito.. tis very good.. its out on the 14th of this month i believe.. silky smooth production as usual, great bass playing as usual, here is a taster...

[quote name='Emanew' timestamp='1362526115' post='2000972'] Concerning the neck tint : On the US 62' JB, the neck coat is nitro so it becomes darker rapidly. Not the polyurethane (used on MIJ JB) which remains clear. Little mistakes here : [u]there are a 60's style bridge[/u] (threaded bridge saddles) and [u]early 60's style tuners[/u] (vintage style reverse tuners, Kluson copies) on all [u]US 62' JB[/u]. Here's my 1989 American reissue 62' Jazz Bass . Interesting informations about the VSP MIJ 62' JB i didn't know this version. [/quote]that is a beauty.. those early AVRI 62's are killer..

he/his band had a knack of making great pop records when the brit funk was not as popular as it was....his bass playing on this track, although not his sig tone, is awsome melodic playing. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OmzsxY7OaY[/media]

[quote name='aende' timestamp='1361791049' post='1990745'] I have no idea how you play guitar to Mark Kings basslines......really, I don't.... [/quote]sparcely...

point taken Wombatboter.. records like this make me realise how good the music was... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MbivB8fxLI[/media]

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1361743279' post='1990250'] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKI8pFqWm0s[/media] If you want to skip the solo the song starts at about 1:20 [/quote]im afraid this sort of vid is why i have some reservations about Mark King.. this is not knocking him, its just a difference in taste... his skills are in no doubt.. but it seems to geared up to show his skills on the bass, which everyone is aware of., the music seems to be rushed also...

bobby caldwell is a seriously talented guy, amazing voice. played most of the instruments on that album so ive heard.

most 75 jazz reissues from Japan come with 60's spacing, but the non export models from the MIJ sometimes come with 70's spacing.. not always. though..... the non export CIJ usually come with 70's spacing and in various wonderful colour's like lake placid blue etc.. in the 90's they made the non export model in natural.. like the one i have.. dont think they make them anymore,, i could be wrong...

no doubt hes a killer player.. i could be totally wrong and uniformed, but i wish he would broaden his playing to maybe do some session work with other artists.. it always seems to come back to L42... dont get me wrong some of there stuff is amazing, but he does seem to be stuck there, in some peoples opinions.. for such a special musician it seems a shame that he hasnt broken the L42 mold.... im sure a renaissance is in the making at some point maybe

yes i should get out more as ive been told by someone in my sig, but its always good to share good music.. not very often do you see billy cobham , marcus miller and bluey in a studio [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcnlCCb4E3I&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ&index=1[/media]

as usual Pino's playing is very laid back slick..its the whole concert.... hope you enjoy [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjCwp8m_hkU&feature=youtu.be[/media]
