Have you asked yourself after the 5th time what might not be working for you Jazz Bass wise. Or what is it that sucking you in.?

I personally think Aretha had the better voice (apart from Gladis Knight) but Anita consistently came out with better soul music.

Didn't Oasis say they were the best band in the world..Oh didn't I laugh when the long haired monkey said that.

Then I got my Sei Jazz back and the Sire's unfortunately couldn't compete with it.

There is no competition. Ive had 4 now 3 5 strings and a 4. The best bang for your buck Jazz Bass is a Sire V7. The preamp can go from passive to active with no volume change. There on the most part very well made. Look amazing, Sound epic. Imo Sire's are hands down way better than any squire, or even a USA Fender imo.(unless its a American Vintage 74) They sound like a boutique jazz bass.. They are a no brainer..If they charged £1000 for a V7 I wouldnt think I was getting a bad deal.

Just emailed

JB stopped a riot at his Boston performance just after Dr King was shot. Thats one of his greatest legacies. Out of respect for the funk man.

Does anyone have a musical family.? Im very proud to say that my dad was the musical director at the Hasting's Musical Society and Orchestra in New Zealand. He still plays piano and violin but age is catching up with him. Looks like me but me got no 70's moustache.. Doesn't like funk, loves Queen. Is in love with Bach's music. I also forced Anita Baker on to him.. 😁When I first started playing bass, i was very lucky to be able to ask him about theory and how it all worked.

Was Motown a genre or a record company.? Im sure it was the latter, but I'm open to be educated

Yeah maybe, but at least it gets people talking about great music. I worry when I see threads that ask "which way should I point the knobs on my bass for it to be aesthetically pleasing"..

I went to see Anita at the Birmingham NEC back in 98 with my sister. She had some backing singers that I found out were the Perri Sister's. I then bought there album called, The Flight. To this day Its in my top 10 albums. There voices, the music, the keys the bass playing are just fabulous.

If I asked 10 people randomly in the high street who they knew as a singer. Aretha Franklin or Anita Baker.? We know the answer to that.

I always thought if I put" of course this is only my opinion"😀 it would take the controversy out of the post. its an open discussion.

Im looking them up now.

Mick if it was rock I was talking about then it may do. I doubt a hullabaloo is going to sprout from this.. I could be very wrong

There i said it. She was Pop/Funk/gospel. The real queen of soul music (and of course this is only my opinion) is Anita Baker. I feel strongly about this because soul music is my passion, and it is the foundation of my upbringing and musicality. Anita Baker Imo is the real queen of soul music. .Knowone comes close to how many great records she recorded. But who knows about her.? Not that many. But lots know this classic. Not many singers can sing live and sound as good as her. A 5ft 3 woman with this that much power and control in her voice. Fantastic pianist too.

This is the audio of the MTV version. The YT vid has rubbish audio. This is killer at 4.00. The bass playing is just... Can I get this on CD can I f**k. £35 they are wanting. Its so hard to get hold of.

Live at Fillmore East. Fabulous live performance that is almost jazz funk in parts. Absolutely captivating live performance Imo..

Oh and you can start from a position and not have to jump so far.

What is that Jazz bass on the right.?
