[TRBboy]

Wow. Just wow. Friggin amazing! The bass playing is incredible, especially when he gets chance to rip it up a bit!

Check it out

He should be playing a musicman ! The jazz isn't cutting it for me , also the mix isn't great I can't extract any decent bass sound from my system, I love chic but the drummer is wrecking it for me , he's playing too much , great to see Nile doing his thing though

[leschirons]

Jerry Barnes?

[jaybass 70]

Hold on , sounds a bit better now

[clashcityrocker]

Some seriously good playin right there

Sounds pretty good on my tv. I'm not much of a chic officionado so I don't know what the bass should sound like, but I think his sound is really nice. I think it's an Atelier Z.

[bagsieblue]

Yep - Bass sounds good to me. Good funk bass tone.

[4 Strings]

THe bass player is having and giving a lot fun and is great. Not as classy as 'Nard, way more busy and somehow less impressive and the sound much less defined. Enjoying it though!

I wonder that he's been in the band longer than 'Nard by now so which is the 'real' sound?

I love how he doesn't try and be Bernard. Sounds great!

Cannae wait to see them next weekend!

[Mr Bassman]

Takes me back a few years when I played a lot of these songs on my 75 jazz which I bought new and still own.

[paulconnolly]

Really enjoying this. Agreed that the sound is a bit iffy but nothing new there about a BBC broadcast. Bass is cutting through well enough for me and it sounds great. The girls are hot too

[paulconnolly]

Let's Dance. That empty mic at the front should ideally be occupied by DB - no?

[Mickeyboro]

Lord the drummer thinks he's Bowie. I'm boycotting my licence fee!

Big +1. I hate that modern Jazz sound anyway, but in this context its even worse. Bernard is one of my favourite players and this just isn't even close in tone or feel. Very disappointing.

[Gunsfreddy2003]

I watched the set streamed live so finished watching it just now.

How the hell does het that tone? Looked like GK amps in the background.

[4 Strings]

That drummer!

I'd like to know how he got it so that I could avoid ever duplicating it.

[Mr Bassman]

Great horns, did you hear that sax solo about half an hour ago?

[/quote] I'm not clever enough or experienced enough to know so could you explain further what's wrong with it? Too toppy? Too middly? Just sh*t? What? Genuine question not trying to be difficult

[Donnyboy]

" Yes , what I would call a very "Cruise Ship "performance". To quote Sir Simon Cowell" great playing but lacking something

[yorks5stringer]

Pretty sure that's a Sadwosky he's playin....

[paulconnolly]

Bet it sounds great on stage though

The sound is right for the genre
