Can anyone who has owned or played one of these tell me if they are good instruments. Any experiences compared to high end jazz basses.? Ive been looking at a natural ash 74 to buy. Any thoughts would be welcome.

Obnoxious ego driven slap bass playing. Me no like.

Seems a little musically immature to knock the slap technique. Its just that, a technique. Its not their fault you don't like it. To accent what needs to be accented. Thats what, In my mind is what this elephant in the room needs to be seen as. A technique that bass players use for accents in the feeling of some music. This is only my opinion but I love the way Melvin uses slap on this record. The best thing I think is if your playing slap, people dont notice it too much within the context of a record.This is my musical taste of course.

yes I believe it was Mart. many moons ago,

Why do I feel like your trying to advertise your YouTube channel.?

Any one have it.? It was a blue pearl single H with a matching headstock.

The lovely guys at Bass Direct installed some Aguilar single coils in the Suhr. When you have an instrument with split coil pickups,(imho) you get used to the sound of them, and a single coil just opens up the sound. imo. Like I said single coils really open up the sound of this Jazz bass and I'm sure they do to other jazz basses. . I played the Suhr through a Benz MagaIlan and 2 Genz 210s at Bass Direct if I remember.. I was worried about the hum from single coils but there is nothing, not a sniff of a hum. I would probably say that Suhr made sure the bass would not hum as its paint shielded throughout.. I initially went in looking for 70's wound pickups. I spoke to Will Ganner and he recommended 60's wind as the 70's might sound too much for a jazz that has 70's spacing. . I will never know what the 70's pickups sounded like but he was correct in saying they will sound good. It sounds like a really heavy weight 70's jazz bass.. I would recommend single coil pickups to anyone who has a Jazz Bass. any ways some pointless Suhr porn.

The OP should listen to this. Its Pino Palladino on this Dangelo record. His slide note placement just behind the beat is just.. 😎

I would say you at least need 312 BPM playing 16th notes for an hour to even be considered to be anything near gold standard imo. Platinum standard, is ridiculous, were talking like in the 1000 BPM.

My sister posted this to me. I had never heard Chic's new album.This track.!. The groove, the synth vocals.... the piano playing to Niles's amazing guitar playing. From Its About Time album. Love love love this.

yep

I literally could sit down and listen all day to Bobby Womacks voice and Wiltons sax.

Yep this is proper funky Patti.

Love this JN. Thankyou.

This always confused me. Mr Wyn ( he makes some incredible instruments) dropping pieces of wood on the floor to demonstrate how they sound. ? They are all different shapes and sizes.erm, they are going to sound different. Im sure different wood have different tonal vibrational qualities but surely his method does not really add up.? . Then you add different structural methods/pickups, etc etc. To add to this complexity guys like Mr Wyn add even more woods to mix with other woods. Skip to 4.20 .

It will always be the sum of the parts. Way too many variables to nail any conclusions down.

When I see some Custom Shop Fenders go for well over £3000 I'm a little miffed. Then I see a Lakland 5594 deluxe go for a little over half the price. I know what instrument I would choose.I really don't get the high end Fender basses market. Im not even sure how the Fender brand is so well regarded in the high end market.. .Especially at the Custom shop pricing. Ive played and owned quite a few custom shop Fenders and I still dont get it. Compared to the basses I've owned like Sadowsky, Suhr, Sei, Shuker, Fender dont come close . I would hold up a £1500 Maruszczyk to any CS Fender. IMO. They do the sub £1000/£2000 market well. But 0ver £4000/£5000 even £7000 for a new custom shop fender. in my mind the brand doesn't carry that much worth. only my opinion of course

I love his bass solo on this track also.. 😎
