this is fabulous.. one of my favorite SD tracks.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl7zf_qApoA[/media]

thats what i love about the track... everything is super tight and bass playing from Tom is bang on.. there are masters at tight grooves like this.. im hooked on SD for life

Totally dig this track.. amazing tight funk from Steely Dan.. love the space in this one... im rapidly becoming a big fan of Tom Barney... hes got a fantastic groove going on in this... generally i think Steely and Fagans music is the best crafted music ive ever heard... it really shows how tight they are, in there live stuff.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd_1NYc11u0[/media] this is awsome also.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSVjwbiXRvI&feature=related

[attachment=90094:1.jpg]Was browsing in my local town today, and spotted one of these.. the guy plugged it in for me and i was really impressed.. a really comfortable bassl, with great playability.. what i loved was the neck.. very flat and sooo comfortable.. and it sounded really nice... anyone else played one of these??.. i might even put a deposit down on it.. great bass for 300 squids..

for me the tone on this Louis Bennedetti track..(Gene Perez on bass) is the best tone ive ever heard.. low down punch, growl... ok hes a master groove player and it helps, but what a tone.. how the hell does he get that growly bloody awsome tone..?? its a Jazz bass by the way [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLJ3RDTvmVc&feature=channel_video_title[/media] This is also just amazing tone.. bad... ass... there aint knowone who plays quite like Meshell [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VeqnL9IO-0[/media] please no "the tone is in the fingers", ive got the tshirt... its the overall tone im interested in not the technique... whats your favorite..?

not the worse slap ever but its very over the top.. his timing is spot on but his hair and expressions are.?. obviously this was recorded in the 80's or early 90's.. ive heard worse.. edit.. i just watched it all.. the timing is out and its bloody awfull.....

if there was anyone in the world i would want lessons off if would be Mr Miller... his slap is him, and is what hes known for.... but his fretless and finger style is amazing.. i cant deny i would love to hear an album of his compositions on a fretless and fretted playing JUST fingerstyle.. now that would be something..

i think this guy is the master of in the pocket groove bass playing.. for me hes as good if not better than Bernard, Julian Crampton, Randy, or any of my favorite players...even Pino.... the more i ear from this guy, the more i think hes the man... .ive really listened to his bass playing, and i cant hear any flaws in his playing..his fills are flawless, his timing is flawless...i tried to find a tiny bit of bad timing.. but its just not there...he plays with such character also.. of course this is just my OP. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLJ3RDTvmVc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLJ3RDTvmVc[/url] gotta love the ole Gene Perez... i have so posted this lot before.. anyways this the making of that track with the master Louis B..... sorry if you have seen this before.... gene Perez with that jazz bass.. am i loosing my mind or does he have a graphite neck on that jazz.. and maybe a status neck at that...?? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL-5Q0IlKJ4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL-5Q0IlKJ4[/url] for me this guy is one of the special bassists in world.. of course that is subjective..

[quote name='bremen' post='1370424' date='Sep 12 2011, 01:45 PM']This I like a lot! It's not what I understand 'growl' to mean though. I'm struggling to think of an example...hang on.. ah, here we go: [/quote] Yep like that tone alot.. for sure that is growl..... i guess there are different growls out there.. im sure its the fact that hes playing in the higher register though.. i define a growl as a certain tone that has very fast vibrato, in any frequency.. sounds like a pbass though.. sounds like he using an effect.. although i have no idea about effects
