mrn1989 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Paul Simons Graceland has been all I've been listening to at work today, Bakithi has amazing tone and technique so I though I'd share this for all! Turn it up load and soak it up! http://youtu.be/OMJbJJldSNw Edited August 5, 2015 by mrn1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 yes, one of my favourite albums and the bass playing is a big reason for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Dunky Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Just an absolutely blinding creative force. Pretty much the only fretless stuff I like is his playing on Graceland. Edited August 8, 2015 by Funky Dunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Is it not time Washburn issued a BK signature b-40? They could get the Aguilar pickups in and do a fretted version too. The pickup placement on that bass is very widely spaced so must give something to the sound too - I've seen him playing Modulus, Ken Lawrence and I think a Fender (red MIJ) - maybe an Elrick too, but that original bass is something special. Washburn need to do it 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Dagnammit, just learned that today on Sky Arts, Classic Albums featured Graceland. I've never seen that one, and would lap it up. Need to see if I can get it on demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
