what type of fret board does joel have i wont one

[basslabd]

I believe it is called Rose of The Mountain

[basslabd]

I guess I should have been more descriptive of the situation under which this footage was shot. It is NAMM and every musical instrument manufacturer in the civilized world is here demonstrating what his/her instruments do in order to generate sale of said instrument to the dealers (small or large) that roam the isles at the convention center where it is held.

More...

The NAMM show floor is a brutal environment (sound wise) because of the sheer number of exhibitor and demonstrators (The SOUND POLICE roam the floor issuing "tickets" that can be trouble if you own the booth receiving said ticket.

[basslabd]

My point being, it is not anywhere near a great place for playing and 2 basses playing only makes it harder but players like Joel and Bubby really can keep a crowd... What Bubby said about it being a Jam Session is absolutely spot on.

BTW I spent the better part of 25 years as a NAMM show demonstrator and hardly ever play at the show anymore. I have a problem with all the sound levels and can't concentrate on playing unless it is in a sound proof booth.

They are both nasty players. But come on... Joel smith just sittin on the groove when Young brotha is playin, then as soon as a crowd shows and Joel takes his Solo Bubby's just tryin to steal the show.

[egatx]

I respect both players but there's a lack of solo respect when Joel smith takes his solo.....and 2 the dude who said bubby killed Joel smith, ummmmm lol....do u even know what your talking about?? Do u know bass concepts??? Lol....

[JoshFromBlaze]

Lawd have mercy listen to this riff Bubby plays from 5:24 - 5:30.. This kid is insane. Big Up to Joel Smith. Love everything Joel does from the way back till now. He's a true bass player, and he's sick on the drums.

Beautiful! What an amazing player! Thanks for sharing!
