i reckon it might be on the bar in the park.. just on the promenade. in a huge tent they put up. i could be totally wrong.. if it is, its a wicked place to see live music... beer.. sunshine.. Marcus Miller... it dont get any better than that

its a while off, but i hope i see you guys there...a bass chat PM will be winging its way to you gloucestershire and non gloucestershire dudes when the time comes

when i first heard this band in the early 80's, it turned me on to bass.. even if you dont like this band, Randy's bass playing greatness is undeniable... imo. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J8KPhb9H1k[/media] his 16th note fingerstyle at 3.00 onwards is just awsome

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]
