It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.
Isnt that the talented prick from a few pages back, and now he's got him self a friend, may be im just too old but that would be awesome in a venue with a few pints, but the 2 of them may as well just call the track "we need likes" and come across as the ultimate in social media twats/whores.
It's a segment from a track off the bassists album, also they do play it live with a full band.... When I first got interested in playing an instrument; other than the Flute and Violin in school, after school my first instrument was Electric Bass playing in heavy rock covers bands...(Deep Purple , Sabbath, Uriah help etc) But as my musical palate grew wider / richer, I got into Jazz and I remember when I first started to learn to "slap" that was when the likes of Stanley Clarke (Return To Forever Fashion Jazz outfit).. and then a few years later Mark King (Level 42) and it wasn't the easiest thing to come to terms with; at least not for me, which is part of the reason I admire those Bassists who do it well. He also plays Double Bass incredibly well... in a Quartet Jazz combo and they do stuff by Miles Davis, Coltrane etc and they do it incredibly well. So whilst I can understand what you're saying he is still Damn Fuckin' "Good".
Ah good ol slap a da bass, quite possibly the thing that even if you haven’t a musical bone in
Your body you could still listen to slap bass and think I’m definitely gonna learn how to do that
Couldn’t explain what it was about it, it just sounded awesome and I would like to think of the practice hours.
But Remcos groove lab is a different beast to the other 2 lads, they have an insta kind of arrogance dripping from them. Remcos just seems to be a bloke that hasn’t washed in months that can play bass.
Theres not an ounce of heart to that lad, its all tekkers and for show.......he's like one of those chinese kids thats had piano beaten into them at the cost of having a childhood.
I remember seeing Pantera a good while back........lead into the intro to domination with just the bass, single thumping note, 1 single note had an arena erupt more than this bass wankery ever will.
You can learn tekkers...but ya cant buy soul or balls!!!

Absolutely. Technique is fine, but never at the expense of melody, soul, groove and good old rock n roll balls!
My latest build. An old Kramer Baretta Special that I painted in a lime green and blue version of EVH's 5150.
Wowsa! Mate That IS Well Nice... As in The Dogs Bollocks...!
I have only had 2 opportunities to play a Kramer(once in a shop in London the other before a Gig) and I thought the Neck/s were Really Good...
ps: How many axes have you got? Are all those in the Background yours as well?
They are. And that's not even all of them. I've another few tucked away around the house and a couple out on loans to mates. I think I've about 24 or 25. And two acoustics. And a bass. I love collecting them.

Here's the "Acid Test"...
What are your favourite Three And Describe and Name Them. (As any Guitarist will tell you They All Have Names)
I'll list mine and name them (All Acoustic) if you do....... Okay so I am a Romantic and a Dreamer.... but ... for me anyone worth their 'Salt' will have a Favourite and Two very close 2nd choices... for instance if you were stuck on a Desert Island with Solar Powered Amps etc... What 3 Guitars would be your

Honestly don't know if I can limit it to three! It would probably change every week or so too.
At the moment my newest one, this Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas HH GRG is number one:
