Absolute monster funky from the man..

I love this record and this band. Andy Platts from Mamas Gun and Shawn Lee.

No... Its not like a bolt on neck gets in the way of your playing. Way more important things on an instrument. I dont think a bolt on neck has anything to do with upper access either.

No not at all. Bought a bass off him years ago. Know him a little. Nice guy. Good bass player.

Will Ganner by any chance.?

No idea And. read it on TB

I think Japan are making reissues of these basses. They are legit.Made by whole im not sure.

WOW. thanks for sharing

I will check that out. I bought the album and love this also. Very soulful sound.

Love this. Her voice is fantastic.

surely it depends on the music you're playing. you change your tone for that. reason.?

Ive also had a hankering for an Xotic XJ5. Do they have 70s spacing like my Atelier or are they strictly 60s.?

Im aware that some of the amps are made in China now like the the WTX500/264 but where are the XLT cabs made. Marshall in the UK.? do they still make them.? What are they like, if anyone has any experience of them. Im looking at an XLT 115.for some oomph

There was a certain time in Bobby Womacks recording career when he recorded some absolute classic soul funk. apart from the other two greats, this is one of them.

Easily in my top 5 soul funk records of all time. its just fantastic Bobby Womack.

Ive had a Vintage VJ4 and a Squire CV 70s as back ups within 2 months of playing both. . The Vintage was a 2020 and the CV was a 2021. I can only give my opinion on the feel/build quality of the VJ4 Im not sure about the V4's tone of course.. But for what its worth. Both were not equal. Imo the Vintage was really not good. Sharp fret ends, Just felt cheap. The bass I owned had an East preamp so the tone was good, god knows why someone put a class preamp in an instrument like that. But I really didn't like the feel of it at all. Only my opinion of course. Recently I owned a Squire CV 70's P bass. What a difference. Really great feeling, great playing passive P bass. When I picked it up it just felt good.. I have a vid somewhere with me doing a demo on a CV. I think once you have tried one bass from a brand and it wasn't good it puts you off. Its funny because I got my BC name from a Vintage. My first bass 21 years ago was a Vintage V950 made from bubinga. IMO. Squire every time. The CV's are killer for the price.

I had given up on jazz basses to be honest and I had this up for sale. then I played and got to know this Atelier Z . Just an incredible instrument. Its hard to describe how fat and huge this 70s jazz bass sounds, not many people mention the necks on these basses. .the action is crazy low and has that growly string sound going on. I thought the Lakland 5594 was a fantastic instrument but this AZ blows it away. Did you find a keeper.?
