chardbass Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I had their No Limits album on tape in the around the late 80s. If I heard it now it would probably blow my head off in a bad way as it was one of those "soundtrack-of-your-life" albums. Very well played and produced fusion from what I remember- bearing in mind what was going on in those days that was comparable. Elektric Band- Light Years, Sanborn- Change of Heart etc. Man those were my college days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnefc42 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Mezzoforte have been one of my favourite bands since the early eighties - awsome grooves! I posted the 'Garden Party' live link a while ago on another thread cause it just knocked my socks off [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=62991&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=62991&hl=[/url] Like I said, great band, great grooves & great playing!!!

Conan Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Thanks for that!! Brilliant. Love that bass tone and groove - always have, although I never knew the guy's name... :blush: The drum stuff is really cool too - I wonder if that's where Tony Levin got his "funk fingers" idea from? :brow: BTW, what's that bass he's using? I can't quite read the headstock - is it a Shadowski?! Oops! Sorry, just re-read the OP!! Edited September 17, 2010 by Conan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
