[quote name='MrT-Bass' post='540207' date='Jul 14 2009, 12:03 PM']Hey Guy's, Has anyone ordered the Bass Sessionz DVD from gospelchops.com? I placed a pre-order mid June and was told it would be shipped on the 1st July but haven't seen anything yet and I don't think the clips on youtube will satisfy me for much longer. T[/quote] I put in a order for the second Drum Sessions almost a year ago and still nothing. Damn Christian Thieves.

I'm tuned down a full step down on both of my 5's and my 4, all play and sound brilliantly.

[quote name='51m0n' post='539141' date='Jul 13 2009, 10:05 AM']Violent and Funky - The Infectious Grooves Granted its a triplet feel, but I defy anyone to play that song with two fingers and think its easier than three. Not just once round the groove, the whole song....[/quote] Fair enough, but I couldn't enjoy because it just sounds to harsh and messy, well it is Crab-Monkey after all. But indeed your right 3 fingers would be required.

Have a look at a Lakland Joe Osbourne or a Daryl Jones. Brilliant alternatives IMHO.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='539037' date='Jul 13 2009, 01:01 AM']TBH when you play bass beyond a certain speed it just sounds like a series of clicking noises, useful if you want to play trade shows or mate with a few species of insect but not for anything else.[/quote] +1 I've never heard any displays of using 3 fingers that have ever sounded as clean or controlled as something done by 2 fingers. My advice would be to start out with 2 and stick to it if it keeps you happy, only consider 3 fingers if your seriously concerned with more speed.

[quote name='crez5150' post='536836' date='Jul 9 2009, 10:23 PM']Sorry meant to say... great tone on your clip....[/quote] These Squiers are proving their worth, and I love mine more so because it's black and blonde. I've just done a quick clip with my Siggery of The Whispers "The Beat Goes On' or "Miami" to the Will Smith fans, I'll stick it up in here and the sale thread.

[quote name='crez5150' post='536832' date='Jul 9 2009, 10:17 PM']Showing my age but that was originally 'Good Times' by Chic.... then sampled for 'Rapper's Delight'...... sorry to be picky but Mr Edwards is one of my all time hero's[/quote] My bad, it completely slipped my mind .

I've finally got the whole recording with Garageband sorted, so I just quickly whacked this together to demo my Squier VMJ and Aguilar Tonehammer. I know it's not note for note, but hey, now I've got the hang of this I feel more of an incentive to get some more stuff up.

Surely the chocolate here is an improvement? Welcome man .

Your a good 3 hours away from here, but if you do happen to be wondering around these parts anytime soon then your more than welcome to come and try my full GK rig.

[quote name='molan' post='532910' date='Jul 5 2009, 12:37 PM']Ok, I'm going to beg to differ on this show! I tried to watch it this morning and just got bored with it. My attention lept drifting & found the fast forward button coming in to play a lot. I'm a huge Stevie fan & listen to him all the time. I also really like the live 1995 "Natural Wonder" album which has a lot of the songs arranged the same as the BBC show. I thought the sound wasn't great on the broadcast & I simply didn't get the buzz of a great live concert. Nate Watts always looks like Mr Cool on bass but the only person I thought really stood out was the young drummer Stanley Randolph. Great 'gospely' kinda style in places. Felt to me like he added a certain something whilst a lot of the rest of the live arrangements haven't changed for 15 years+. Maybe I was just in the wrong mood today though [/quote] I loved the drumming and definitely agree it gave it more modern edge. I just wish they would actually play all of Sir Duke as opposed to the first quarter and then segwaying into I Wish.

Nice one Sean. I don't know why but I find the gold and black control combo rather alluring.

I think it's safe to say that Nathan Watts may in fact be one of the very few bassists that most other bassists will always enjoy listening to. Definitely picking that DVD up.

[quote name='Clarky' post='531927' date='Jul 3 2009, 07:21 PM']My JJB only took 3 months [/quote] To be fair, it is essentially a standard Precision as opposed to all of his other Singlecuts and super Jazzes.

There was that red & black modded Precision bass that was passed around quite a while ago. Thats pushing back to the Bassworld days though, I think Thunderchief(Mike) and Homerplaysbass(Al) both had it at one point, I think Rayman may have dabbled with it also.

[quote name='Linus27' post='530547' date='Jul 2 2009, 01:07 PM']Like chalk and cheese. Nothing at all like each other. I own both and the DJ has the classic Jazz tone and sounds wonderful. The Stingray sounds like a Stingray which sounds nothing like a Jazz bass. I know not that helpful but they sound totally different.[/quote] +1. You've got the Lakland DJ which is in fact greatly superior to most modern day Fender Jazz equivalents, and also has the bonus of being smaller bodied and usually has beautiful block in lays and a bound neck, and just nails the classic Jazz growl with ease. It's also passive so it's tonal variety is ultimately a little limited. The Stingray is a different beast, although I'll say that IMHO the Stingray is regarded for it's more beefier Jazz tone, whilst having it's own unique slap tone. And having active circuitry gives the bass loads of possible tone variations. It just depends on what your after Chenzo.
