what sort of rut.. be more specific.... ? check out Scott Devines bass lessons online if its a theory one.....

there is no TRICK to his style... he has a unique way of playing a groove...... stop with the emulations, and get your own dude.....nothing good comes from going over the same ground..

that was a great review, even if you didnt mean too..

i think DR Low riders are awesome... expensive yes but worth it... hex core for extra stiffness.. you can get a real low action on these,.. an amazing precise tone on a jazz bass i do prefer the round core strings though, for a bit of floppy growl on a jazz bass.. MM's are my string of choice...i dont want to sound like Marcus Miller but they feel great to play, and they have a great bottom end to them... i will probably never buy another brand of string...

the always amazing Ed Motta..he has such a fantastic bassist.. check out his groove throughout.. but check out his solo from 3,30 onwards... his timing for one is well worth hearing.... his solo his pretty special [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLABDLA5VOg&feature=endscreen&NR=1[/media]

just wanted to share this great inspirational vid from Scott... top man, great advice from a great player.... great story about his life learning bass also.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycARqiUlmc8

[quote name='RoRi' timestamp='1336493102' post='1646410'] Tassel & Naturel "Let love shine" (from the album 'Food for thought' 2007). This music makes me feel good and happy. (Marcus Miller bass).

this is where i get shown a post about me waffling on about strings and bridges etc...

i dont care how good he is, hes either said this under his breath sometime, or hes talking nonsense.... i hate all these minor details to a bassists tone.... its total rubbish.. its in the playing that matters

of course its all subjective but i reckon there is not better funk soul than this.... unfair of me as they are the best funk soul band thats ever lived... sorry... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ4gx72_VDY

i was looking for Stevie Wonders i was made to love her but but couldnt find it.. this is not really Motown... but its prob the best bass playing ever played on a record.... this guy is the master... imo.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLUh70zp0LE
