[bigdare23]

[Revmaynard]

I heard Baby J does blow...

Fixed.

[Just_CHill]

Well I play the bass... Not like Baby J though.

[BABY J]

Yea, I understand where ya coming from on that one. When he's in town I'll try to get together with ya. He lives out in Carrolton but comes in town occasionally.

[FasTech]

I can play sax, guitar, and piano. I played drums alittle in Middle School and High School.

[BABY J]

^ an instrument that he created called a Drumitar --- google it.

I almost said it was that but wasn't sure. Drums being heard and seeing no drummer almost gave me a clue....... but I had to make sure. That's pretty cool. Checking out a video on that now.

One of my favorites from them:

Not sure about this long, live type version but the one off the cd is better to me.

So who's y'alls favorite bass player? Not just on talent, but on the style of music and what you like to hear. Mine would be Flea. But I know he's not the most amazing bassist ever, but he can hold his own.

mine would have to be Steve Digiorgio from Death/Testament. amazing bassist as well as he can flow with just about anything anyone throws at him. as for me though, i play guitar and bass

Victor Wooten is amazing and def has a style of his own.


Oh yeah, i play guitar lol. I used to play trombone but put it down a few years back.

Not sure how many people here listen to gospel music but my personal fav is Thaddeus Tribbett. I think he can pretty much play any genre of music. And also Darryl Freeman

[OneSlow5pt0]

deff flea too,ofcourse cliff burton was great too

[BABY J]

Wow ---- too many to list. Willie Weeks, Oteil Burbridge --- I admire Wooten for such a unique style --- Jaco Pastorius for paving the way for every1. Larry Graham --- Prince is one of my favorites as well. His line on "Let's Work" is one of my favorites:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8y-IEAeVHM

Also Verdine White's line on "Shining Star" (and every other thing he played w/ Earth Wind and Fire)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzd-JaI0RPw

[BABY J]

Oh yeah -- and if you can get your ears on "The Brothers Johnson" --- Louis was the fuckin' man.

[BABY J]

I played w/ Darryl a few times at Atlanta BAss Gallery. He is fairly limited to gospel, but he is solid (obviously w/ all the people he has recorded with).

And since u mentioned gospel --- Mike Akins (The Pilgrim Jubillees bassist) is my fav quartet-style bass player. "Big Mike" (nickname) is serious.

[1CleanEg]

Big mike ehh? i'll have to check him out.

Guitar, bass, vocals here and there

[BABY J]

YouTube- James Taylor - Steam Roller Blues

Man ---- I won't even get into the vocal-control thing b/c this IS James Taylor - that'd be stating the obvious. But check out his fret-work....

diminished chords - implied notes - ghosting - and FLAT fives (5ths), false-modulations on the turn-arounds (starting at 3:10, popping off 3:16) and inverted chords too (he must be a piano player as well)

This mofo is the SHIT, and it's not overplayed -- it's all relevant.

GANGSTA!!!

[TSiFTW]

Wow. Intricate rhythm guitar is what I love to do the most. Well besides projecting my smooth ass lyric tenor vocals (you know us vocalists are a little cocky sometimes) LOL. James Taylor and Dave Matthews are two of the main ones that I love studying their chords, granted sometimes it gives me a massive headache trying to figure some of them out.

[green91]

We should get everyone to post of pics of their gear..

[BABY J]

Kool - I'll do that.

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

Great video.. i remember seeing a video of him playing Clapton's Tears in Heaven and being in awe. Definitely a top 10 bass player imo.

[BABY J]

thanx

[Just_CHill]

thanx

The bass masta himself! I might have a new bass guitar here pretty soon. Maybe it will enhance my skills so that I can play like you. Lol. I'll post it up in a little bit.

[Repiks]

Drummer here.

Past 8 years or so.

[Just_CHill]

Here's a bass I "found" here in Kabul, Afghanistan. It's a Warwick thumb with MEC pickups. Sounds like an angel. Lol. It wasn't being used cause someone broke the connectors to the battery and just left it there. I saw it sitting there collection dust and took it into my care. Cleaned it up a little bit, soldered a connector back on there and it works like new.

[BABY J]

Damn - its a neck-thru also! Are u gonna ship it home before u leave?

[Just_CHill]

Damn - its a neck-thru also! Are u gonna ship it home before u leave?

Yessir! It's quite the bass. Never played a Warwick on a regular basis let alone a neck-thru. Not sure when I am going to ship it home though. I do have my acoustic electric bass here with me so I might as well ship it huh?

[BABY J]

Naah - play the fuck out of it until ur about 2 weeks out from re-deploying. Then send it home.

Sounds like a good plan. Luckily I brought my little 8 amp with me. Got to order some new strings and something to take care of the body with. Oh and that case.

[chuck]
