For the dance/funk/groove fans..An old favorite of mine...'East West Connection'.....My sister introduced to these guys...Awsome bass playing on the album..The guy on keys is just amazing!!!!...Also anyone like Rae and Christian? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoYsPKCCIEs&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch v=xoYsPKCCIEs...feature=related[/url] A Rae and Christian classic [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjyrkHXysJE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjyrkHXysJE[/url] Thought i may add these..When they were good like this, they were very very good [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXA5koWaJzY&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXA5koWaJzY...feature=related[/url] One more great.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cXKGzqq99Y&feature=PlayList&p=9262BB5E07525DB5&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=1"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cXKGzqq99Y...=PL&index=1[/url] Ok just one more classic from the vaults...Vibraphonic [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R00y_sgxSkE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R00y_sgxSkE[/url] the bass playing on this is awsome...played on a Jaydee Celeste i believe I just had to add my favorite disco tune of all time...

If i had just one day i would be nervous...could i fit it into one day?????..Like B said, give Roger a call, see what hes got, i know hes got a wonderfull second hand NYC 5 string with a quilted maple top...I would also go to Rudy's Music Stop for sure!!!!!!!!!...They have got great basses coming out of there ears...You may like Rudy's 'Pensa' basses..they are unknown but amazing...Also i would go to the 'New York Bass Works' they make basses that are very special i believe...They look a bit like Surine basses... Metros are as good as NYC's, they just dont have the fancy tops... For something different check these out...I would love to try these instruments [url="http://www.newyorkbassworks.com/home.htm"]http://www.newyorkbassworks.com/home.htm[/url] You know Roger is your man though..

[quote name='Stingray5' post='532228' date='Jul 4 2009, 03:52 AM']Rats - missed it! Hopefully, iPlayer will have it. If MJ was considered a genius -- and I am a fan -- then what does that make Stevie Wonder?[/quote] you can watch it again on BBC iplayer S5

[quote name='Hamster' post='532198' date='Jul 4 2009, 12:58 AM']Nathan Watts plays some fantastic bass line so nonchalantly [/quote]for sure i was watching that man Watts ..Was great...What a band Stevies got behind him...What bass is Nate playing..Ive had a few beers tonight, but i thought it was a Valentie? a bit like my spelling i could be wrong?

I bought one from Sadowsky direct and it was quick! not sure what the price difference would be...There is a beautiful used NYC in the for sale section of Sadowskyv at the mo..Wonder how much that baby would be?

I liked it..Loved the sound of that G&L,...Have played bass with some rappers and always think when it comes to Hiphop less (bass) is more, but that was cool..Will check out the forum...

Dont know if anyone has seen..Just spotted a couple of RV5's a standard etc...

You get what you pay for...Laklands Fenders etc are great basses..But you can bet Celinder's , MTD's etc are alot better, depending if you like them of course..

Is any one a member of Gospel Chops.com, ive just been looking on youtube at some of the vids from GospelChops and there is some great material/tips to learn from..There is a site that goes to adverts on the DVD's they sell, but there is a forum type site also...Was hoping these youtube vids came from there... Dont know much about the site...Havent got time to join right now........Any idea?

To be honest (and no disrespect intended) i wouldnt want a car shop spraying an expensive bass..I would rather a luthier do it..I think i may have just answered my own Q...But who?

Oh i hope he is ok Jake..Ive met Jim a couple of times, the last time was outside an Incognito Gig he was playing...Very very nice man,and an awsome player..

[quote name='BigRedX' post='527727' date='Jun 29 2009, 01:50 PM']From experience I know that Fender-style bases simply don't suit me and place far too many restrictions on my playing style for me to ever consider having one. By the time I would have put right all the problems I see with a P- or J-style bass, it would have so little in common with the instrument it started out, that I might as well have something that's been design properly from the ground up to be different. Also (not a criticism aimed at anyone - simply an observation) I find it fairly depressing that for many people claiming to produce original music their originality hasn't extended to their choice of instrument.[/quote] Surely it doesnt matter what instrument a person chooses to play on..As long as the music is good...The instrument is just a tool.... What does having an 'Original' bass guitar' have to do with writing "original' music...I dont see any link in that at all....I dont mean this to sound like a criticism but there is such a thing as thinking about your instrument too much Its a means to an end...Ok i have a few basses but there all to cover my needs as a bass player in different projects..some i play more than others.. The most original musicians could play Squire Jazz (great instrument) and be original...A non original musician could play a Carl Thompson and still be erm...non original..Its the way your mind thinks, not who makes your instrument...

Was just wondering who near where to i am could put a high gloss on a bass and its head stock? Also would this be expensive to have done? Any info welcome By the way im in Gloucestershire

DR's the bst strings you can buy IMHO...

I saw this bass in an old Bass book by Tony Bacon..It is awsome..Very rare..Very expensive..I soooo want one!! Has anyone played one...Wonder what the tone is like? Hamer Impact neck through..
