trust me.. you dont need to slap in a shop at any time anywhere.unless you want actually hear what the bass sounds like slapped......do your thing and try out the bass.. i cant stand people who slap/w*** in shops.. i went into guitar guitar to try a sadowsky and the guy got it down and started doing 100 miles an hour slap before i got to play it.. total idiot.. i dont go into a guitar shop to show everyone my chops.. your buying a bass not there admiration

I just adore some of there stuff..the master Gene Perez is playing bass on these.... dont get me wrong the originals are amazing and my bread and butter but these are just groove city... damn what a rythm section!!!!!! this one is produced by MAW [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=848w__KrjRE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...p;v=848w__KrjRE[/url] this is a slow burner..

[quote name='Truckstop' post='1313729' date='Jul 23 2011, 11:39 AM']Oh come on! He was clearly just having some fun riffing with the drummer! Don't we all get a bit silly sometimes and just muck about? I don't think Hadrien would want that to be listened to as a finished product anyway, more it should be watched as a celebration of what improvised music is about! Fun and chops! Truckstop[/quote] thats part of his thing.. i wouldnt say hes just "having fun with the drummer".. he very often plays in this style.. yeah sure he could do anything on the bass.. but imo he does like to explore the fret board alot.. and it sometimes comes across as a bit self indulgent.. but man if you got it... ha, i wish i could muck around and get a bit silly like that though..

is it a show case for his chops... is it musical bass playing.. i think its both... but it does get to a point where hes just showing off and it sounds a little silly.. no doubt hes amazing on the bass.. but overall its fret w***ing... though im betting when hes not doing all that he can lay down the groove like no other.. i bet his skills pay the bills for him edit.. i was listening to it without the vid and it just sounded bad.. hes awsome no doubt but he just sounds like some idiot on his own personal journey through some free jazz mind trip..... sorry..

sorry for my never ending band posts.. but i had to post this... Juan Nelson on bass again.. this is so damn funky.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3ZM3IaY_84&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3ZM3IaY_84...feature=related[/url]

Im seriously thinking if this is possibly the funkiest tune ive ever heard..... a bass player from the states put me on to these... i nearly spat my pint out when i heard the horns.... the track is from a band called Quazar... a great mix of horns and funk groove.... fantastic band.. IMO. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj0ikFlARjw&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj0ikFlARjw...feature=related[/url]

i dont usually go for this. " oh i love the tone of this bassist" but ive got to say i love the tone from Juan Nelson on this album.. its deep and funky... i wonder what bass it is.... oh its a frickin awsome tune too.. smokin with this on is a great thing.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ywLe0AukTo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ywLe0AukTo[/url] this is a great vid of Juan playing with Ben.. i like him very much...

I wasnt expecting this.... they are on funking fire...

Some tracks you guys may not have heard from one of the best rythm sections ever.... these are just killer grooves.. Just love this track.. awsome bass playing from the man.. the little guitar/bass riff at 1.35 is very cool and great to play [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE5INCLqQb0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE5INCLqQb0[/url] This is just so slick... Niles guitar playing is sublime.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkGsWX4T4KQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkGsWX4T4KQ[/url]

oh thats what we do is Muck.. modding is getting to know bass..

I'd have to add a white pick guard and covers! Aaarggh no.. would never put a pickguard or holes into an clean look like that..

These are just lovely.. you dont see many Custom Shop Fender without pickguards, or these colours.. its the Sonic Blue for me.. bound and blocked... hubbah.. eye watering prices.. £2999.00.... Seafoam Green Graffiti Yellow Tao Turquoise Sonic Blue

[quote name='bh2' post='1306061' date='Jul 16 2011, 05:12 PM']Completely over the top price wise... Knobs are not original... his prices are a bit on the high side, if you look at the 73 P Bass. You can have my 62 Jazz for £10,000, how's that?[/quote]i want pics now!!

[quote name='BassBod' post='1305832' date='Jul 16 2011, 01:36 PM']I'd have to go for carbon dating. Actually...I'd have three or four basses made by the Fender Custom shop vintage master-elves...or whatever they call themselves now. And I'd drink the change.[/quote]
