I think it's about doing what's right for the song, whatever the song is, but doing it with real attitude. If you only like bass doing a simple groove that's perfectly fine. I don't like a lot of the virtuosos I've heard because of what I see as a failing in their ability to transcend their exercises. Even players Hadrien Feraud and Jimmy Haslip seem to sound like they are doing exercises, ultrafast descending scale runs in fours and stuff like that seems prevalent in so much of what they play, the same little chords they use, they way they 'take it down' with the quiet little nippy notes, and so many of these players sound like that. But when I listen to Scott Thunes or Tom Fowler, their lines are just so much more harmonically interesting, there's real harmonic and melodic depth in their lines, and they are played with fire, real energy. But then they had superb compositions to work with. I mean, where have the composition skills gone? All the new virtuoso chops jazz sounds much the same, same old progressions but nothing inspiring. And what's with all these daft effects they're using now, these comical dub step and auto wah sounds that seem so popular with so many virtuosos. I know I sound really prejudiced but I honestly think most of the new breed of virtuosos sound dull, boring, sparkless, and often the same as each other, all the old transcribed jazz trumpet runs on bass. [/quote] yeah i totally agree, I feel like that about most players, it's just like the guitar shredders now, but on bass. That's not to say a shred doesn't have it's place. It just needs fire and not to be done all the time.

[quote name='didle' timestamp='1363303658' post='2011471'] Thanks Lord! When I watch it back now it's not as good as I thought it was at the time and you're 100% right about the timing. Cheers, Doug [/quote]yeah but ya lovin it tho whilst ya play in which is the most important thing. Checked your gear. A big duff fan then? He's the reason I started playing.

[quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1363255737' post='2010425'] Think I need to try out a CIJ Jazz. EAD, [/quote] That's what i have

[quote name='JwK94' timestamp='1363212656' post='2010019'] Definitely try a fretless or two before committing any real money. I have a fretless Fender CIJ Jazz and I absolutely love it! They go for around £450 or less on here Edit: Also, heard nothing but good things about the Squier VMJ Fretless [/quote]Me too (CIJ) it's class

I'm in atherton if ya want a go on one of mine.

It's alright pal. Good duff sound. In terms of constructive criticism just watch your timing, you are rushing occasionaly. Just hold back a bit and try to get a more definite shuffle feel. It's a tune tho. It's the first G'n'R tune i learnt and played in a band.

I will definitely go!

My brother plays in a band in Shef. The Winnebago's. I'll find out off him and let you know!

[quote name='Lifer' timestamp='1362753617' post='2004295'] Bless. [/quote] Aww!

[sub]This isn't a riff but it without doubt the heaviest thing i've ever heard. Heavier than all metal put together.[/sub] http://youtu.be/aGFRwKQqbk4

Thought you were talkin about socialists and communists then. I'll go!

It's all a bit precious really. It's only a song! Who are you all?! Leonardo Da Vinci! Just get on with it. It's not like you're being asked to shag ya mum!

Ya know what, I never hear people talk about Tom Hamilton as a Bass Player!

HA ha ha! Man those types of list are dumb and pointless, but that has to be one of the dumbest!

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1361573680' post='1987946'] Yes, bizarre, it jumps from 1977 to 1982. [/quote]There was something about it on the radio. Apparently the first one was to celebrate the Queens silver Jubilee. It was a one off, then a few years later they thought lets knock this sh*t out every year. Probably cos it was the eighties.

My main band is on hiatus due to no drummer and vocalist with nodules. I'm looking to do a bit of a side project but a bit worried the singer won't take it well. She's already worried we'll replace her due to her condition, which isn't helped by her partying. I wanna do a crazy musical 3 guitar jazz fusion/heavy Rock experimental thing. But can't find a drummer in the leigh/wigan, gtr manchester area!
