[quote name='Huwberry' timestamp='1325613858' post='1485242'] Bubinga, cheers for posting all that Pleasure stuff. I can't believe I hadn't really heard them until a few days ago (although I'd heard of Nate Philips). Future Now is a revelation. More for the transcription list!! [/quote]no prob dude...

i think this is fabulous. great soul funk with Omar and Stevie wonder.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuFZYD8O1iQ&feature=related[/media]

imo apart from EWF, the most influential underground soul funk band ever. although you may not realise it .. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waSM0rXDLys[/media]

Jack. i totally dig James Mason.. this track for me is killer... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_BQLsiZp80

[quote name='jackduran' timestamp='1325543988' post='1484331'] Roy Ayers bassist (If I recall correctly), James Mason... [media]http://youtu.be/LSwmBXjcMGQ[/media] [/quote]love that fusion funk..

doesnt get much better than this.. it just adds to the love of funk and disco i love.... ive loved this track since i was able to listen to music... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChIi3wKshWA[/media]

[quote name='jackduran' timestamp='1325540493' post='1484258'] There's any number I could have picked, but plumped for this seeing as it kicks off with the bass. Great playing/tone. Allen McGrier, I believe? [media]http://youtu.be/FEFw_EnCuNE[/media] [/quote] that is fantastic.... good call dude...

imo.... although its alot faster in tempo, than we might be used to, i think this is fabulous,, Maceo Parker is so so good on this ... for me, the performance of this man is enough.. the things on top are just pure gold..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ni5ELUVM2eI#!

[quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1325528370' post='1484032'] I would recommend the TRB 5 that "bubinga" currently has up for sale. And you could save yourself £500 squids [/quote]ha.. thanks Chris.. well it is a fantastic bass and i appreciate the plug..... but imo, there are better basses that have a better deeper cut horn though... i never really understood why some makers make it hard to get up there.. like Andy said the Lakland 55's have great access to the dusty end.. check out the Mayones Jabba.. maybe a little out of your price range, but second hand its worth a punt and a haggle.. if i was in your position i would look at Ziggy's custom jazz 5... great access to any frets you want.....beautiful bass too..

this is so damn funk.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qBLjLQ8AcY&feature=related[/media]

i first heard this in New Zealand in 1982 when i was a nipper...my mother loved them.. much more groove than funk.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_uF3npmqg4&feature=related

just amazing stuff... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KeKzwTmaOE&feature=related

i swear if someone played this when i was asleep i would start moving..i smile everytime i hear it.... the great staccato piano at the start, really adds to its funk... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YWV2gniRrc&feature=related

just goes to show how popular your thread was/is Pete.... got to love Pleasure.. like a cross between EWF and the Ohio Players.. the great sound of a jazz bass... what i love about this band it wasnt just straight up funk, it had some very melodic elements in there sound...[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH-9lEAjWgQ[/media]
