[quote name='bartelby' post='990176' date='Oct 16 2010, 01:30 PM']Yeah, I'd rather not have lessons from him... [/quote]lets not find out..i want to say that was really bad but maybe its just not my cup of tea..even so...get a f***ing guitar...

Got a DVD yesterday from a friend with this on...Ok MJ is not for everyone but this blew me away...this is the first time he did this song live... incredible talent...ive heard he was a great bassist too...i cant imagine how good his groove was...astounding im sure...makes my spine tingle everytime i watch it.. check out the moonwalk at 3.37... his on his game here..

Sold some puppies, sorry some pickups to Andy..a pleasure to deal with..top bloke.. hope the jazz bass likes em...

IMO this is the best vid for Superstition...good old Pbass...simple groove... the only bit of riff is small... the main riff has nothing to do with the bass.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDZFf0pm0SE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDZFf0pm0SE[/url]

Ok.. its a very general thing..Lakland have a set up like.. Fingerstyle Pick Slap.. for every bass.. that works for me...if i was to buy a Laky on those parameters i look at those and hear what i like.....i know i would get a tone out of that said bass... Ok, you have your style so maybe you could get more, but i know where my bassics are coming from....Every one loves a certain tone and they recognise a good one....it dont take much to take the cover off it...

Change the pre first...for something like a Sadowsky or a Bart 3 band...the preamp is the downfall for the MIJ Miller jazz.IMHO...

Ok im no luthier.. ....my point is why oh why do bass builders not show what there basses can do...im aware that alot of bass luthiers dont do it because of the choice that they give but Mr John Shuker does it and he gives a wealth of choice... this surely is a good way to promote your instruments,.. letting people know what they sound like...Lakland do it....im baffled??? Ok its this simple... sound samples Ash body with..... Barts or BL's : Alder Body with...Barts or BL's : and all the variants... you get the picture it would bring in so much business surely...i want to know what these basses sound like... i brought a Sadowsky RV5 once and i really wanted to know what they sounded like. but i couldnt..ok ive got youtube but it aint the same... i wanted to know what a Sadowsky sounded like... i bought it blind in the end from you tube clips and good word...ok it was a bad ass bass.. is there any reason why Roger and other companies dont do this?.. the only company that i know are Lakland and it is soooo helpfull, in the choice of a bass.....i just cant understand why these bass companies dont do it.. Before you say it im aware that alot of these bass builders dont have there own pup or amp/preamp brands, but alot do and still dont erm......do it...whats up...

[quote name='Earbrass' post='984148' date='Oct 11 2010, 10:18 AM']Yup. Totally naff. Be boring if we all liked the same stuff, though, wouldn't it? [/quote]Oh yes..it so would....good to look at all aspects though as im sure you do...i dont as much as i should... great we are all in to different stuff though... good to mix all this stuff together though in to a mixing pot...how does music move forward otherwise...

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='986095' date='Oct 12 2010, 07:24 PM']i've had a few lessons with doctor_of_the_bass (Nick Smith) on here. i know he's a BC'er, but he has (and has had) a vast collection of basses in his time. he's one of the nicest, funkiest, most unassuming people i've ever met. he's based in peterborough, but travels around to lots of music shops, so you never know, a hook-up could be arranged. try PM'ing him if you don't get any better suggestions.[/quote] Hey phil..well hes a bit of a legend hey..i will try him..thanks bro...

maybe it a two way thing...i thought thats what they are there for..and thats what you pay them for..im sure Roger Sadowsky wouldnt push his own taste on you...hes there to find what you want... the only i can think of is Mr J Shuker...he lives so far away from me...

[quote name='xgsjx' post='986073' date='Oct 12 2010, 07:04 PM']Isn't it going to be subject to who's taste it is still? One man's good is another's dire.[/quote]Ok apart from JM's insite, which was good thanks bro i will ask them..i mean a pro..someone who has no commercial bias.. but knows how to get to where i want to go..........in need good unbias opinion...

Where can you go to take a bass your not happy with tone wise, for a non bias pro opinion on what to do tone wise...i have a certain 5 string, that i would like to change... thanks

I believe John Shuker does a bass course on building basses...you could go there, or do the internet thing, and find al the information there...Warmouth..? the experience i have had with basses that are already built is a confusing road, whether it be pups, pe amps, body woods......research is everything...knowledge in this is much harder to come by...if you enjoy it, go for it....i would love to be employed by a luthier for some training program...

i felt need to show some Meshell Ndegeocello..there aint been some for a while....ok apart from Petes. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AcGuQHQMcA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AcGuQHQMcA[/url] If that was your boyfriend...i love the bass she is playing...shes fantastic on the piano too... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpdzEpGIqtY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpdzEpGIqtY[/url] this has so much groove...so much funk this track... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDbRKB7oLEQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDbRKB7oLEQ[/url] wonderfull tune from the best album IMO.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZsN4PJ6SPA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZsN4PJ6SPA[/url] This is super funky... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0N83NvSfk4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0N83NvSfk4[/url] i love this track with Marcus Miller.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r63PfJiEDq4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r63PfJiEDq4[/url] blah blah blah... still find this music naff..?

is it this great stuff off of the DVD Pete... fantastic Francis Hylton on the Atelier Z...awsome. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOfUWrASMXM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOfUWrASMXM[/url] this is soo good.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3v7cXDwUgI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3v7cXDwUgI[/url] this is great in more ways than one..Boz Scaggs classic track.....great fingerstyle slap pop track to play.. im in love with Chaka...always have been...dont care how big she is....foxy woman...i would marry her...good bassist as well... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKuLWlgyPkc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKuLWlgyPkc[/url]

havent seen it yet Pete.....got any links...would love to to see this...Randy is the man...

Music IMO is not a place for competition...we all love music, no matter what it is...Flea is as good as MK in the minds of us who love them...Meshell, Randy Taylor is as good as either in my mind... i do find die hard fans of someone are missing the point with music sometimes..its always healthy to appreciate lots of music..even if its not your cup of tea...i dont care for some bassist's but for what they do its appropriate....

the Allman brothers are awsome.. this turns into something so funky..amazing stuff.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp1nyDF9Wak"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp1nyDF9Wak[/url]
