Respect for the technicity, but that's ^^ widdling. Ah, but not in his bedroom! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Bass. There is enough to go around for all of us. Two great players. Why would we try and quantify them? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskwave Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Well alright not widdling exactly but Reed as a leader in the current crop of young talent is just off the scale good, and I mean that in a musical way not just a 'Im fast look at me kinda way'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodysprefect Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Matters of taste and all. It's pretty interesting how people have so different reactions to different genres: to me, most music outside jazz, fusion, and modern gospel is too stiff and I don't wanna hear it. and I want to whine about it. To contribute, here's Sharay playing improv and making a couple of fat mistakes: https://youtu.be/mc_R0C2eSLo Edited April 6, 2021 by nobodysprefect more whining 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how busy he gets, like Jamerson, he's always supporting the song. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't play gospel runs over an Irish folk tune or a tango -- that'd be grievous bassily harm (aka overplaying) and the Crown will have words about it. But there's something about the oversaturation and over the top runs on top of runs on top of runs that you have in gospel jams, it's like having way too much of a good thing and you just laugh at the impossibility, and it still works somehow Edited April 6, 2021 by nobodysprefect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mono Neon blows him away for playing the bass he plays on this alone. He's a much more exciting bassist. And he plays his bass upside down. Seriously? Your contributions on here suggest that you're much better than this reductionist nonsense (and that's no slight on Mono Neon)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno man, he has a fair number of pretty fine moments. https://youtu.be/VMXW6hfJ-r4 TBH, I find it more interesting to compare him and Justin Raines.

In the studio he seems a little more reserved. Speaking of balancing restraint vs expression. This guy is chill but his fingers are doing the talking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
