recently iplayed a bongo a sr4 and a sterling and the sterling was the best IMO.. awsome focused slap tone..

its marketing yep.. just like string through bodies, high mass bridges, yeah they do make a difference but the difference is so little the only person who cares is the bassist... dont get me wrong i love pimping basses but sometimes i feel that alot of companies are engineering stuff for a problem that isnt there..

.. i do think that a note should sustain, but when do you ever play a note for that long? most basses sustain long enough to make good music..i really dont buy into this 'my bass sustains for days'... who cares

yeah i really like that...

Yeah..its great. prefer it to the original..

This has so much groove its hurts... love the bass, keys and horns.. f***,.. everything is right on this track.. super soul funk!! this man is so talented its silly.. one of the greats in soul music today IMO...

wicked.. thanks Mike

This guy is an amazing player!.. Glen Gaddum on Frank Mccombs version of Golden Lady... when the track gets going he shows some wonderful musical chops... nothing flashy, just dancing around the changes and in the pocket.. this not gonna blow you away with flash, but what he does he does so well and i adore his note choices.. !!!

Got back from work and listened to my Chaka collection.. just loved her early stuff with Rufus.. these are my favorites...for those who maybe havent heard these not so well known.... Super dupper soul funk.. they bring me joy... Wow, this track is sooooo cool.. my mum showed me this classic when i was very young, and its stayed with me as a favorite.... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYliUs0wvIk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYliUs0wvIk[/url] This is my favorite Chaka Rufus tune ever.. its just such a soul classic... Erykah Badu did this on her live album.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2DccadfcBs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2DccadfcBs[/url] Nothing like Chaka's voice on this Bobby classic..

like that Pete.. prefer it over the original... cant see that bass player doing anything wrong at all.. hes doing everything right imo.. but it is Freddy Fluellen

i asked him about it and he called me an idiot and go and walk a dog...ha ha.. what a w***er

I spotted this add, where this guy is trying to palm off this bass as a 62 RI..he says its got a 70's neck? what with 60's decals?... he also calls it a stacked knob jazz..erm, i dont think so.. look at those tuners from the back, there not even straight.. gets on my nerves when people try and rip people off... am i missing something?

[quote name='risingson' post='1279065' date='Jun 22 2011, 09:21 PM']I think Rhonda is a good player, but the solo seemed like the kind of solo 'expected' from the bass player of Jeff Beck and a little contrived. It's like the bass solo I've heard a thousand times before from a thousand different bass players, not particularly unique IMO I will always love her playing with Prince though, particularly stuff like this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vITKFi2W_o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vITKFi2W_o[/url][/quote] Nice one Ris.. great vid this.. she totally groovin in this..this is what Rhonda does best IMO... what a track from the man.. thanks for the post Pete..

This Flame maple fretted version with the black headstock is killer!!!!...

ive seen these A E thinline P Basses before..in fretted and fretless. .ive seen a sunburst and even a flame maple one.. Made in Japan this one.. im not really a P Bass man but i bloody love these. big time.... what a beautiful instrument.....

the Di Marzio Ultra jazz sound great although it does seem that they do have a more scooped mid sound.. wonder what the Model J's are like..

im in..working lates next week mind..

yep its a Boner Jazz..here is another one.. looks modded though... [url="http://ja.audiofanzine.com/electric-fretless-bass/fender/Jazz-Bass-USA-Fretless-lined-1990-(22cases)/medias/a.play,m.98153.html"]http://ja.audiofanzine.com/electric-fretle...ay,m.98153.html[/url]
