Im really into my soul house music.. especially Masters at Work..Gene Perez is the master at this ... a good ole standard jazz bass hes playing on this cut.. check out his playing.. its SUPERB!!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc8aCFWjdDk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc8aCFWjdDk[/url]

i love this band called Globetrodders.. to me this the ultimate funky laid back hip hop.. if you like it east coast but dont want the east coast attitude this might roll with you..

[quote name='chrismuzz' post='1213231' date='Apr 27 2011, 10:06 PM']Am I right in thinking that passive tone controls only serve as a treble cut?[/quote]cuts everything, boosts nothing..

On board redeemer curcuit with no colour ON.. Front Pup 90% Back Pup 100% Tone 60-70% jazz bass heaven..

Vic just took me on a journey...

superb.. that was amazing... thanks for posting..

[quote name='Linus27' post='1208087' date='Apr 22 2011, 11:08 AM']For me, it would be Fender MIA colours and styles. The range that the MIA Jazz and Precisions have is crazy small. Then go and look at what Fender CIJ do and its amazing. I would personally like more matching headstocks and more binding and blocks on the Fender MIA range.[/quote] i soo agree with this.. Fender USA are way behind the exciting things that CIJ and the CIJ custom shop do..i want matching headstocks, gold hardwear pearl blocks, binding..make me want to buy you!.. flame maple necks, tops.. LTD editions that dont cost a frickin fortune.. maybe thats part of the appeal... they could do more though... The Japanese do it.. sex that sh*t up Fender !!!!! oh if i was the Fender top dog you would love it.. im not saying bling all the time but every bass player looks at a new Fender, why not bank on that, and excite em i have heard on the grape vine that there is a new Fender deluxe comin out that is in the vain of the FMT or QMT.. with the new (proper) shape..that is gonna be smokin...!!!!!!

i will add i remember seeing a EWAF show on Youtube and hated the big show... the music is much better on its own.. you dont need light shows for this music..

i know knowone is knocking VW, but this is a cool vid... his brother played drums on Donny Hathaways "The Ghetto" [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmOl7Q5cQpQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmOl7Q5cQpQ[/url] a very humble person me thinks.. as a bass player could you be in a better band?????

[quote name='Rasta' post='1208016' date='Apr 22 2011, 10:21 AM']Still got my EW&F first album, funky as funk. Bad tune is an all time favorite. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJoBYMrLt_8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJoBYMrLt_8[/url][/quote] awsome.

one word....Fishy.. there is better to be had without the washed out headstock

the jazz shape is slightly different on a Laky in a good way.. the best Jazz shape..
