there very theatrical Nige.. do they do them in white silk with diamonds?

out of interest have you ever thought of doing a bass with flat colors Steve...i dig the nice tops though..

if ever there was a bass that ive had GAS for years for.. Sukop is it... if only Steve...my sisters husband has played one of these and he said it was the finest crafted bass hes ever played, and hes played alembic, foderas..... hope the show goes well mate

my mum used to play a band on her record player in New Zealand in the late 70's called Light of the World when i was a snapper.. i was bloody brainwashed im sure.?. then later, my sister who is a TOTAL legend when it comes to soul jazz and funk.... she showed me this. and i was blown away...

the band that really started the seed, of my love of music... . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHjz4nJejmg

what a groove classic.. makes the world a better place http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO_d5QNRtzQ

i [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1326212619' post='1493886'] Exactly. I'm surprised how many basses don't have the hex socket screw system adopted by Warwick in the nut as well. [/quote]to be honest BlueJay there are enough variables to set up on a bass that leave it up to the player or tech, to adjust... if the nut is not correctly cut for the strings, and therefore, the neck, its a luthier/bass fault.. unless of course, your a player who really understands bass luthiery, and has the time and patients to adjust it to your liking nut height, may be a black art, but its an art that you shouldnt have to bother yourself with.. imo

this is just epic. cant get on with alot of Yellow Jackets jazz, but im not a straight jazz man.. this is exactly the style of soul jazz i love... FANTASTIC fingerstyle bass from Jimmy... very understates slap it also. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWsE97scAhQ&feature=relmfu[/media]

[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1326042596' post='1491466'] A sublime track from a later Chic album. Bernard's bassline is absolutely steaming. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=036Tfy5f1VQ[/media] [/quote]thats killer Pete

[quote name='jackduran' timestamp='1326072879' post='1492021'] I prefer the Joey Negro edit of this but the original is still great. Love the groove in this, fairly straightforward and does exactly what it says on the tin. [media]http://youtu.be/allGAdpPThs[/media] [/quote]good call...

[quote name='M-N-Y' timestamp='1325923576' post='1489818'] Check this out, gobsmackingly good. Rhythm section is insanely good, as is the production and the rest of the musicians. Not a big gospel fan but if this band was playing in my local church I'd be there every Sunday!!! Bass player is Lil Rodney Jones watch out for him! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMI8BW7nBk8[/media] [/quote]WOW.. thats is awsome... love Gospel in this style.. you should check out New Direction

dont have a link, but his name is Dan Atkinson.. a well known Fender style luthier.. did lots of audio comparisons of different wood bodies.. i would bet thats the thread your talking about? search it on Talkbass

oh maybe im wrong.. i hope its 70's position

wow. this is special stuff.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JlmdW7pW-c

keep up the funk.... check out the 5 string playing on this..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_JYgnpcWn0

reminds me of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ2TxyI6D90

im still listening to it.. puts me in the best mood....yep,the bass line is a very laid back groove with fills to die for... the groove at 4.45 is killer... her scatting is fantastic also.... the original is great too.
