On my word what a groove.

Anthony Jackson classic bass line.

Yep. Love that.

I usually buy the 5 string (was) Marcus Miller DR Fat Beams , and they have enough wind to go through the body on a 35" scale.. Best round wound strings on the market Imo..And they last for a long long time. But your string of choice may differ. Amazon are selling these for £25 atm. Ive bought these for £45 in the past. I think since Marcus Miller has gone to Dunlop, you can get these at great prices.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/DR-Strings-FB5-45-Fat-Beams-Medium/dp/B009P6E9ZW

Still my favourite looking bass. A super rare Hamer Impact neck through, from the 90's..

Im a believer in the tone qualities/differences of both body woods. but different pickup winds, strings, neck woods etc, override any differences you might be able to hear in ash over alder Imo. I would go with Alder with a flame maple top. You get the lighter body with a sexy top.Who is the builder.?

Just wondering what these are about.? Is it a jam, gear share/tryout/lecture.? Is it a BassChat affair.? Anyone know when the next one is.? Cheers.

I didn't really like the original record too be honest. I think its a funky take on it.. Each there own. Elevator music is not a term I've heard before.

Its' amazing how good a rig you can get for so little money. And importantly how great it sounds. Most know about the Sire V7. This one weighs 9.4 pounds. The Genz I could have got cheaper, but this one is literally brand new with a Genz bag. I prefer this little monster to my old Aguilar. cab is incoming.

Great stuff from Lola's Day Off. Pete Ray Biggin holding it down.. slick bass playing from Santos. The better version Imo. .

Just fantastic music.!!

I was waiting for the drummer to accompany the man.

I used to go into Around About Sound a bit. Was a great shop. Is it still open.? Had a very rare GB Spitfire 4 in there that was being sold by the owner. Bought a great Yamaha TRB 6 for £600.

I went into Guitar Guitar in Glasgow a while back. I asked if I could play a Sadowsky Metro from the wall.It was a lovely UV70 5 string in black. The more expensive instruments are put higher on the wall of course. The guy got it down, plugged it in, and then let me and the shop listen to some of his chops, before he let me play the bass...... Really.?

I don't necessarily associate selling lots of records and keeping folk happy, a job well done.

Im not a huge fan but I dig some of his stuff. The reason I say this, is his latest record, Finesse, is a total rip off of some classic 90's soul dance like Bobby Brown, Bel Biv Devoe,s Poison, etc. Im feeling a little let down by him and his direction towards blatant commercial rip off's. His record with Mark Ronson was a cheesy poppy nod to Cameo, Prince etc etc. It all feels a little cheap lately.

Incognito magic.

Love this. Julian Crampton bass groove Magic. !! Nice one RoRi.

Just awesome.

Anyone have any experience with these cabs.?

Record yourself playing along to a track. recording yourself gives you a hugely different perspective on what your playing, and how well you are playing.. But yeah like Ambient says. Depending where you are of course. Not a huge amount of good dedicated bass teachers in the shires, etc
