wow.. i so dig pino's playing as do i meshell's .. shes very different musician in many ways to pino, as in she writes music for full albums...... two of my favorite bassists/ musicians right there... ive got to be honest, although ive loved meshel for a long time, i get the feeling that she looks up to pino when there talking... hes pretty much the contemporary master when it comes to solid groove playing imo... meshel is a little different in her approach to groove.. imo... thanks for posting..

Just spotted this on Andy Baxter bass.... the first ever Stingray built, wow... what a special bass.... http://andybaxterbass.com/details.php?id=399

with all due respect Discreet the name Guitard is not a good name for some of the best musicians i know...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1356749851' post='1913289'] I don't get this at all. You wouldn't presume to comment on what gear the drummer or guitard are using, so why people think it's acceptable to make a decision about what instrument a bass player uses (when they know nothing about bass playing) is beyond me. [/quote]its because know one expects anything else from the guitarist, drummer, etc in a general way.. but in certain bands if you turn up with a 7 string bass they may think...?? i remember turning up to a few guys i couldnt really call a band who wanted to play covers of shawadywady... they turned me away because i was playing a 5.. nothing wrong with shawadywady but why throw someone back because of the instrument... so i turned them down... they were doing shawawdywady badly any way.. excuse me if my spelling is bad

i have been listening to this guys playing from the early Galliano years... i have listened to the children of judah and a Push track called gimme some more.. but his playing on these tracks are superb.. usually a laid back bassist but hes being very busy on these tracks... he bounces around those chords so well.. oh ok im a sucker for an incognito jazz funk track [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZbAauYiNoc[/media] this is just superb playing..

there morons... if your musical and a great bassist, and you can play anything these guys can throw at you why would they ask for anymore..?.. yes its a fashion thing and it will always be that way.. but if your playing good music it doesnt matter what bass you play.. please, thats so childish.. if any band told me i couldnt play a 5 string because of there image i would walk,... and say they need to grow up.. the music will always overtake fashion... everytime... oh how neive i sound

im posting this as i love both these guitarists, there playing is wonderful and usually i love melvins bass playing, but i really dont like his slap playing on this.. its the sort of slap i hate where its all percussive, and he really doesnt let the notes or the song/solo breath... just wondered what you guys thought... not very musical imo... i wanted him to be so good on this, but the endless rythmic slap pop just bores me... its a shame because his fingerstyle is amazing... i guess its just a bass slap interlude but it really doesnt have to be like that... imo.....[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAsWqdc0S38[/media]

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1356360849' post='1909504'] Because the amount of time and skill involved in making them and the quality of the materials used . [/quote]sorry but there is lots of skill involved in and rare materials used in lots of high end bass makers... alot of instrument manufacturers rely on there brand name and what famous players use there instruments.. fodera are the most obvious example... they seem to think they can charge twice as much as luthiers like Martin Peterson, Nordstrand, sadowsky... imo its a bit of a piss take.. A Sei or Nordstrand bass is easily as well made as an alembic, alleva, or fodera.. but strangely they seem to inflate there prices... lets face it the market for electric basses is so over engineered its silly, what with zero frets, through body stringing etc...... its nothing to with how the audience will appreciate the sound, its more to do with the bassist that plays it.. dont get me wrong i love playing a well made instrument, but there is a limit (imo) to what you can pay, to get very well made instrument that will give you optimum performance.. when you get to prices like 4/5000 its just over priced.. but i guess you pays your money you take your choice i would still love an Alembic Rouge 5 though.. incredible instrument

obviously not the original bass line (not sure who played the original) but Sharay is smokin on this.. his fills, note choices and timing are just off the wall.. he plays it perfectly... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff2CCSzjeHg[/media]
