Prince is the master, and this is smokin ... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBjotAV39vA[/media]

arent alot of Mcartneys recorded lines played on a jazz bass.. ? im not really keen on Rics.. i might be shot for saying this but the one i played seem to be more style over substance..

this prob isnt that weird or unusual, but its still ground breaking music imo.. i think Nitin comes under the title of World Music.... some of his stuff is really superb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dHY1bh79oQ&feature=related

i actually think if the internet didnt exist there would be ever more GAS... the lack of info a pics etc would just add to the mystery of basses/amps that people want... we just wouldnt collectively al be able to l acknowledge it

[quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1342284532' post='1732839'] If your budget can stretch a bit I would recommend getting a TRB6ii An Awesome bass !! [/quote]this for me is possibly not just the best 6 string, but the best bass for the money.. can be had second for less than a 1006 and tone and quality wise is a world away... same as the killer TRB5 i had but a six with Jazz config

[quote name='MatthewKeys' timestamp='1342284042' post='1732829'] They are decent. But I can see why some people would upgrade the electronics. The preamps sounds like a radio transistor compared to the old TRB6/TRBll. I LOVE the neck on it (a lot better than Ibanez BTB676 for example); it is quite thick but it's a smaller neck to the Ibanez, whereas the Ibanez is thinner but a lot bigger. In terms of waiting around for yamaha TRB6 to come up secondhand.. I was doing that for 4 months and one didn't come up so I bought TRB1006. I'm glad I did that as a TRB6 STILL has not come up secondhand on here, ebay or gumtree! If you can get one for around £300 (mine was that) i'd say go for it [/quote]ive seen at least 3 TRB6 come up for sale

Mr Bungle..... everything and anything....

i had the 5 string version.. was a beast with sooo many tone possibilities.... a monster of thunderous tone

a few reviews here Pete... http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/49945 im there not bad basses at all but they are not in the league of the other TRB 6 basses.. they look lovely though... i would get one but change the preamp...

[quote name='BassMan94' timestamp='1342208813' post='1731864'] I can't wait myself for the new 6er ! I honestly never knew why they used those hair scrunchies untill now Is it me or is that a 'shortcut' to make sure the others don't ring ? [/quote]i personally think the scrunchie is a bit of a cheat.. its not hard to keep every string muted on a 6 string. but its hard if you have fallen into bad habits.... the combination of both hands should be used to keep everthing under control... imo

700 for a Modulus jazz bass... done deal for me

[quote name='groovebuster' timestamp='1342187807' post='1731180'] u feelin it yet? groovin is like sex b4 u cum and ruin it 4 everybody, jizz everywhere. its diggin in and doin it gud. NO WAFFLE. this is 4real. [/quote]are you on drugs..?

i wanted to put a better bridge on my jazz bass, but after a bit thought i was wondering why i really needed to... the tone of my jazz is great with new strings on it.. obviously mine has the bent metal bridge....... i really cant see a 75 jazz with a high mass bridge sounding that much better imo high mass bridges are a marketing ploy.. just like string through bodies etc.

i had a Modulus VJ4 jazz bass... it was totally stunning... quilted maple, full graphite.... the best bass i ever played.... But... the tone was not at all like a jazz bass.. not a bad tone but for me, it had no character.... the fretless VJ may be a different bass because of the fact that its a fretless... i dont know.... an unlined fretless VJ4 Genesis, with an ebony board... now thats a great bass

not at all... i think most BC members would say this is some crackin bass playing.... just not the sort that they love...

Yep.. i know this a very subjective question... but what i think comes close, is a bass line that does everything required, in a balanced way, to compliment the chords/rythm/song but show the players own personality.. this Freddie Washington on his P bass is just groove central imo... i cant imagine someone playing a better line on this track.. subjective of course..

[quote name='RoRi' timestamp='1342026487' post='1728395'] Today, Tomorrow & Forever "Mighty Fine" Great bassline. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsWt--m1bhs[/media] [/quote]Ro Ri you certainly know your stuff... good call..

this has got to be the stupidest thread to date...
