[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='1034363' date='Nov 23 2010, 08:21 PM']In 1995 I went to the now defunct Phoenix Festival at Stratford-on-Avon and on that day I was lucky enough to see the following all on the Jazz Cafe stage! Freakpower Raw Stylus Jessica Lauren JTQ Brand New Heavies yet to find another festival with a line up like that all on one day![/quote] WOW..what a line up... i nearly went to see that BNH, Incognito, Omar, Carleen Anderson, D'influence that were on at a festival over one weekend that i missed in London about 4 months ago... bring on more of those sort of line ups.... went to see Down to the Bone with a different line up that had Julian Crampton...i put it up a while ago...they were killer and Julian was...well you know... got vids an all

well ive said this many times before, but im not planning to sell this bass...apart from the preamp, it fits me like a glove..wouldnt mnd changing the colour though...

yeah it is a good un Pete..... bit old now but do you remember these... im sure some have got "Pushing against the flow" from RS, but if not its essential...still in my top 10 after so long.... Raw Stylus... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_JYgnpcWn0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_JYgnpcWn0[/url] Galliano with Omar... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx0mc5fa15k"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx0mc5fa15k[/url] i couldnt find "Jazz" from Galliano ...the 12" is killer from Joyfull noise....

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='1033481' date='Nov 23 2010, 06:54 AM']Just got the JD73 album Zeros and Ones and it is fantastic - a welcome addition to my ipod![/quote]Cool GF havent got it yet...i Tunes..?

yeah i was thinking this as the Laky has the quilt in a natural....im thinking it would look frickin cool with this...but i think the hardware would be better black to match the neck..?? a bright QM orange would look great...i love the idea of a burst like this Viccars bass... full gloss too..

Maybe wanting to refinish my Modulus Jazz in a different colour...Who is the cheapest and what sort of price are we talking (ball park) i would like white but im not gonna cover the quilted maple...and the silver hard ware would be better black..IMO The colour now is Sienna pictured.. The colors im un decided are..(sorry cant find em to show) you get the idea... or any other ideas... Amber 3TS 2TS Orange crush Cherry burst Honey burst any thoughts...

sorry just did a search...cocktail stick it is then

Ok the strap locks a keep coming loose on my bass..i mean the screws that hold em on to the body of course....what can i do? ive heard of the matchstick and glue method but can some one explain or send me a link? cheers!!

[quote name='steve-soar' post='1030465' date='Nov 20 2010, 02:38 PM']Vic IS it and a bit. [/quote] oh my word... love that harmonics slide at 1.47... i just sit here and laugh away at his groove...very entertaining

ok ive been studying Victor Wooten...i say study..its more like my mouth is open.....Ive come to the conclusion Victor Wooten is the best bassist who has ever lived.. , his pushing forward of the instrument...his insight to what the instrument can do is beyond anyone else... ive never seen a bassist use it in so many ways.....boundries he has none.. every time i show someone who knows nothing about bass, or whats the instrumentis capable of i always show the first clip....not everyone likes but you cant deny his force... hes just just incredible i dont want to be like him and by god i will never be, but i cant say im not blown away...i showed it to my dad who is a pianist and he said in his own words ..."crikey son ive never seen an electric bass played like that before" what a wonderful pioneer of our craft.... im sure Jaco would be blown away... i wonder what he would make of him... my f***in god this slap is out of this world.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28kHOEiTNhI&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28kHOEiTNhI...feature=related[/url] this groove is on another planet... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-hyEYi0O-M&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-hyEYi0O-M...feature=related[/url] i bet most will get a lick or a feel from him... i am a Marcus Miller fan all the way, but i cant not be blown away by VW and his Fodera... dont care what anyone says...i say there are different opinions, styles...but for pure groove and seemless technique....he is the master bar none.......bring forth a bassist than can match him...

[quote name='jakesbass' post='1028965' date='Nov 19 2010, 10:30 AM']So to get really technical on your asses... It's not possible to play without theory (it's just you don't necessarily know the theory) so the notion of 'best' (I repeat) is absurd. Put another way, theory does not cease to exist whilst the uninformed are playing, it's like some sort of philosophical puzzle... If someone in the audience observes and correctly, theoretically describes to another musician what you have done (I would be able to do that) then you are, whether you know it or not employing tasks that can be defined theoretically... get it...? I'm just rambling for fun now... feel free to come and switch me off...[/quote]Jake, i think the key of what your saying is .....some are not aware of what theory there playing....... i could be wrong but i would hazard a guess that most of the time your not consious of the theory your playing when your in the throws of a good bass line...it comes from muscle memory, and your ear.... your emotion dosnt come from the theory you have learned..thats a basis from where your emotional expressions can spring from... i still wish i had your knowledge mind..

gotta listen to more of the new Driza Bone...this is still fantastic though... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeVYCxDEX3E"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeVYCxDEX3E[/url]

[quote name='Floyd Pepper' post='1029860' date='Nov 19 2010, 08:18 PM']Yep, I had a listen to this only the other night. Some very cool grooves. Wasn't this the guy who played keys for Haggis Horns and Jamiroquai? Also, have you heard the new Drizabone Soul Family album..'All the Way'. They did a funny PA support slot for Incognito the other night (Side note: I haven't seen a PA since the Radio London Soul Weekenders in the late 80's) but the album has some cracking tracks on it.[/quote]Yeah i went to see the old Driza Bone live...i think the Family is a different line up... fantastic music..

Discovered a wonderful soul groove band called JD73 from a very dear friend.... very classy band...what you think...love the horns... i frickin love this music..

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w62EICN4Qz4&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w62EICN4Qz4...feature=related[/url] why do i adore music like this soo much..

No..everyone is different....if your groovin ok, why change anything...

You got it all covered then...

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1028768' date='Nov 19 2010, 01:14 AM']I like Jazzes but I wish they had 24-fret necks. I love the 26-fret neck on my old Thumb but wish the front pup was further forward sometimes. I used to have a 22-fret Fender Jazz (one of the early '90s "boner" basses) which was lovely when I first got it and I thought it would be the best bass I ever had, but in 6 months it fell apart, total POS.[/quote] well you should try the 24 fret Jazz..i had one which i sold to dear friend...he came round and played it next to my CS jazz and it was killer..great basses... the tone is just amazing next to most high end basses... i had forgot how good it was... the one below but a 4.... just awsome basses....
