BassAgent Posted Monday at 14:34 Share Posted Monday at 14:34 Hooray! For the first time in 8 years there's going to be a new album and tour for Jamiroquai! Can't wait to see those guys live again. I'll be getting tickets for the Amsterdam show. 4 UK shows have been announced in Glasgow, Manchester, London and Birmingham. All in December 2025. This was Jamiroquai's last tour: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted Monday at 14:38 Share Posted Monday at 14:38 He's a love him or hat (geddit) him kinda guy and I f*****g love him (and his music). His shows in the 90's were extraordinary, especially those with SZ on bass 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAgent Posted Monday at 14:43 Author Share Posted Monday at 14:43 Funny how some people still think Jay Kay is Jamiroquai Jamiroquai is the band's name, Jay Kay is the vocalist. But I get what you mean. I'm a HUGE Paul Turner fan, I've even bought my '66 partly because of his sound. I met him years ago and it turned out we brought both our basses. On the left my bass, on the right his. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted Monday at 18:37 Share Posted Monday at 18:37 Was watching some day time TV during my lunch break the other week, and "Deeper Underground" came on, that bass line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say Jay Kay is Jamiroquai in the basis it wouldn’t be Jamiroquai without him 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted Monday at 18:59 Share Posted Monday at 18:59 (edited) Seen them quite a bit and they can be hit and miss but seeing them on TOTP got me into bass. Jay had said on social media he had recently finished recording so hopefully the tour will supplement a new album!

On the left my bass, on the right his. Nice basses. I believe Jamiroquai is Jay Kay and whoever he chooses to hire. Since the now late Mr. Smith left in 2002 anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAgent Posted yesterday at 16:30 Author Share Posted yesterday at 16:30 Well, the line-up has been pretty steady for the last 20 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them with Zender and later with Nick Fyffe, never saw them after that - But Paul Turner is a wonderful bass player. I really liked Nick Fyffe - love the Temperance Movement too - although very different to Jamiroquai. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not a doubled bass guitar and synth? I get really close to the tone with a Digitech BSW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember which synth it is - but it’s definitely not a bass. But you’re right - the BSW does a great version, I’ve had 3 and now have none 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted yesterday at 17:25 Share Posted yesterday at 17:25 JK plays a lot if the bass parts on synth, part of the reason he and SZ fell out apparently. SZ a genius bass player, JK a close to genius multi instrumentalist and composer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted yesterday at 17:35 Share Posted yesterday at 17:35 In possession of a BSW and a very good drummer - I did a belting rendition. could never get a good enough guitarist or singer to do it live. Last band could’ve smashed it - current band, would make a really odd choice of cover for an indie band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
