[quote name='funkgod' timestamp='1335556641' post='1633243'] off two great deodato albums, still prefer this to the JTQ version. enjoy [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5Rn7S2zLWE[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boXD-tsBuOA&feature=related[/media] [/quote]good call great band..

[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1335814667' post='1636548'] I have to say that this thread is probably one of the best classic funk resources on the web. Amazing posts. [/quote]i think so too Pete.. there are some epic tunes posted by some people who love soul jazz and funk.... lots of stuff to hear..

This is one of the best Prince live vids ive ever seen..... There are so many musical influences within this track... This guy can surely speak through his guitar...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjpiBm2Q-gc

Yes its flash, Yes its bling... But damn i dont care.. this is the coolest Jazz Bass ive ever seen... Funnily enough i nearly bought this very bass about 3 years ago... really wish i had, but the price was very high..... Rudy's music stop has a really nice collection online.... One day i WILL own a Pensa Jazz..!!

ahh the beauty of wood.. no i really mean it... i had a Modulus that just DIDNT move.. but erm... the tone..!! the good things in life, you have you put time into... imo

Luke those Geddy's have japanese pups.. really dont like them at all... The MIJ 75 jazz i have, with 70's position.... the US pups have a really thick tone to them... play one of them and you will want a one....imo did they have any of the Suhr Jazz basses in Edinburgh?

this is some seriously good bass playing... his fingerstyle groove at 5.30 is just amazing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tp5YDdevbI&NR=1&feature=endscreen

i guess Fodera can get away with it, why not Warwick... there image doesnt grant it though... imo

this always pisses me off.. i will keep my internet eyes pealed...

one of my favorites of all time... great band.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waSM0rXDLys

thats not really NOS, its NFS..

BUT...ive got to be honest when i first saw this i never thought a crap pop song could be done so amazingly well... i have no doubt this was a master stroke for them... epic groove.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko0kdCf0zTE

[quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1335356886' post='1629726'] They're a bit of a one trick pony at the moment. A shame because they are potentially fabulous. Their cover of Britney's Circus was, IMO, jaw-dropping. This is a bit dull in comparison. [/quote] i agree with you on this... a little bored of there covers... yep.. fantastic playing, yep.. amazing arrangements.. this seemed rushed... and a bit dull... they have the talent to do soooo much more... lets hope they deliver some original material... just goes to show... technical ability doesnt mean too much, if the music isnt there..

ive played many a Fender.. Squires, MIM's, Custom Shops, USA's, MIJ/CIJ's... although i recognise Squires are great basses.. there IS a reason why the more expensive Fender are higher in price... of course this is down to personal opinion...and whether you want to pay the premium and think its worth it... i personally do... imo... a non export USA pup Japanese Fender Jazz can beat ANY Fender..even Custom Shop.... they do naturally what Custom Shop do, and what USA standards should be like... mmm.. there is a reason why USA Fender restrict the best of Japanese Fender... because there better and cheaper.. imo Put some USA pups or some Fralins in a Squire and then you have a smokin Jazz bass

[quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1335389619' post='1630491'] I remember reading somewhere the plastics and paints used these days are fairly well UV resistant. I suppose you could book a tanning session just to see. [/quote] well if it didnt work on the bass it prob would me..

Anybody got any tips on ageing a poly finish... i mean making a poly finish darker a more of a yellow.. someone told me ultraviolet light can work....? any ideas..?

OMG... that is very nice.. i had to redo my post... GW how do you find the position of the pups when playing fingerstyle over them... from a thumb to finger position, they seem quite far back...
