for the life of me i do not know how to do it, but i want down load Incognitos.... "Closer to the Feeling" on to you tube... i would be eternally grateful if someone could do that..

yes i did Deb.. was quite an experience.. was more jazz than i was expecting but non the less for it..

whoops.. thanks dude.

ive gone a bit YouTube mad but i had to post this... this guy is so amazing.. his views on music and Miles Davis are so sensitive and insightful... you can really see why this guy is such an amazing musician..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKcVYcAQDSk&feature=related

after a while of not buying a bass i really want buy a 5 string... the 55-02 is on my mind.. i had a 55-01 with Nordstrand fat stacks and it was pretty good... ive never played a 55 with the humbucker jazz set up... what is the bass like, im guessing it has the Lakland LH preamp?

another classic Reed groove. you can keep your Wooten. knowone grooves like this guy.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pATcvr3zAhg[/media] i never get bored of his fill at 2.03 onwards..

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1341148523' post='1714279'] I still haven't got bored of this album, and I've listened to it almost every day since it came out! My second son was born to it on May 2nd too! This is probably my favourite bassline on the whole album, although there's so many good ones to choose from! [/quote]im with you there... this album has seen alot of playing.. nothing quite like sipping a beer in the garden with this blasting out

My sister sent me this vid of Mr Reed doing the bass line on this epic track...... i dont think im going over the top in saying this guy is one of the best ever bass players in the world today.... his groove and fills on this are mind boggling... I think Sharay's strength totally lies in his awsome sense of groove, not choices and knowledge of chords etc... i could listen to this guys playing all day long. his fill at 4.09 his just epic.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff2CCSzjeHg&feature=relmfu

[quote name='ChristopherGilbert' timestamp='1341132318' post='1714028'] It is a gray area, and like most of the techniques in bass playing, I think the technique that feels most comfortable and is able to give you what you need (e.g. being able to play fast/slow etc) is the one you need to find. My personal experience was always thumb over the top in most cases, unless playing higher notes. I've since been taught by a very competent bass teacher to fully relax the thumb and try playing the notes on the neck without applying any pressure with the thumb. I was taught a technique where you sort of pull from the shoulder and hit the notes that way, giving you more freedom to move up and down the neck. It also leaves the wrist fully relaxed and hanging while playing sitting down and standing up. I've also found, since doing it, that the neck barely moves as well which really helps as you always know where the notes are going to be. Hope this helps. [/quote]sorry Chris i have to respectfully disagree with your first comment.... i have a theory that most things that are good never come easy... a good left hand technique or finger/hand position is not necessarily right for the body... and going for the most comfortable position is not always the right way... falling in to that trap can lead to lazy techniques imo... sounds very strict but music accommodates music not the body..

i think this can come down to what your playing.. for something very easy i wouldnt keep the finger for every fret finger position.. finger/hand position is all about economics

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1341101104' post='1713938'] I would say that he is subordinate, not subservient. It's his choice to play supportively. [/quote]spot on.. i love some of his playing on FM's stuff.. his playing is wonderful.. not really important but my mum used to date Mick Fleetwood.. yes that is my very distant claim to fame..

hes also brother to the famous soul sister Vivienne McKone.. another great track with his epic playing.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJKQS_p9q5k

always loved Ernie McKone's bass playing on this amazing Incognito track...... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTp8Jh4QJWA[/media]

im thinking that a 55-02 Deluxe from those could be tricky...?

Are there any bass/music shops that do finance deals on instruments... a friend has asked me, so i knew where i might find an answer... he specifically after a Lakland 55-02 deluxe any ideas..?

Scott Devines site is working wonders for me..

yep that guy can really play... We the People was my first taste of this band....

go from my life thread...
