Mykesbass

HaHa - yes I've worked out we have all been posting videos and not adding the artist/title in the post, so they don't turn up using the search.

I opted for five string when I switched from playing guitar. The reason for the choice is that I had been playing rhythm in a jazz big band, so everything had been in Bb, Eb, even Ab, so I had completely got out of the habit of playing in the open position. With the five string it just felt natural starting from the fifth fret. The rest then followed easily.

The Seafoam with the additional discount is basically dealer price. Had one for a couple of years as my back up bass (decided if I were to have a back up to my fretless 5 string P it should be something completely different). It's a great bass, and really not 'basic'.

I love what the Playing For Change team do. Shame it can't go on the Spotify playlist, but I'll be listening later.

None too shabby here, getting to number seven, and your's truly was in the sales team that had to sell it as a new release!

I remember him having a go at a young Bonamassa in a magazine interview, saying he was too full on all the time! In fairness, GM could play quiet, delicate, intricate pieces - he just chose not to.

I'm just as bad!

No, I realised that we are all posting videos and don't put in our text what the track is, so there is no way for the search function to work it out.

How did we miss it for so long? 😯😎 Edit: We didn't, it just didn't show up in the search. It's on the playlist though. Thought we wera all going mad overlooking such an important track!

Talking of Lover's Rock, just did a quick search of the thread and this hasn't appeared yet!! Another huge South London track.

Lovely feel to this. Shame it's not on Spotify. Would this be considered Lover's Rock?

Does it come with a chariot to move it about?

One of the Ceilidh bands I depped for the very experienced band leader described one of the key beats as being very much like Ska basslines.

Just updating the playlist - can't find this track on Spotify. Added Does Dim Gwell by Tacsi instead. Do you have a title for this track @redstriper? Cheers.

Yes, wasn't in the best of physical health when I worked with him.

Just heard Peter Green has gone. He was still hugely talented despite all the damage when I met and worked with him and the fabulous @mybass late 90s early 2000s. Died peacefully in his sleep aged 73.

Really liking that Juliette Ashby track. Cute can often seem like a derogatory or patronising description, so I hope I'm not hated for saying that there is just the right level of cuteness in her vocals - enough to make it poppy and catchy, but still lots of coolness in there too.

Hopefully they'll react - I reported it earlier and it has stayed active.

Here's a partial reason - I was quite surprised by a couple of the tracks included, but just look at how often the tracks get repeated. This is the same across all commercial radio now, albeit slight tweaks according to their format (can't find the same info for Planet Rock, but I know from previous listening the level of repeats on there is also ridiculously high). https://media.info/radio/stations/absolute-80s/playlist

And a genuine 64 wouldn't have the decal anyway.

403 error.

Probably not very much. Just think how good they would have been

This just appeared on my Facebook feed. Never heard of them before, but may have just discovered a new favourite. Real marriage of styles that works really well to my ears. OK, not the most 'Reggae' of tracks on here, but still got that vibe.

There are some Jazz box sets out there that include everything - false starts, four or five takes, takes that get stopped - all in the name of completism. Crazy.
