your class mate
keep it up

Really, I wish you would turn of the background music ;) That bassline lives a life of its own in my opinion. No disrespect but sometimes less is more and more my friend would be you without anything else interfering. Good job!

I didn't know Robert Downey Jr. played bass...

@ltpaine44 I was thinking the same thing. :P

Fantastic...I and others here dig the African rhythms and inventive bass lines. Paul Simon made an admirable decision to showcase this music way-back-when. Thanks ato71 for this and for the Johnny Clegg stuff.

Perfect

Wonderful! You've got a really nice sound. Love this whole album, I don't think there's a bad song on it. Thanks.

ato, sorry you have probably been asked this many times (I'm too lazy to search through all your comments to find out), but can you tell me a bit about your bass? It's an interesting model, sounds good too. I know most of what you play, you have a great colletion, I'm so jealous, but then I'm also jealous of your playing (I should practice more). Keep up the good work...how's the Jamiroquai going?

No problem ('m so proud of my basses that I'm always happy to talk about them). Well, this one is a Laurus Quasar SL T800, hand made by an italian luthier. Maple Neck Through, Kaya mahogany body with rosewood top, tonal chambers in body and neck, Noll electronics (I think) act/pass switch and Michel Benedetti pick up. It sounds fantastic (the videos doesn't pay him justice).
Musical projects are suspended for summer holydays: in september we'll start again, meanwhile I'm studying.

What gets me is that I had to go onto Internet to find something like this. At music school, all we learnt was American stuff and the other students weren't educated about cats like Bakithi and here is from HERE!!!. Nice playing my brother!!! TIGHT!!!

Maybe less "cat" than Bakithi but I like also Solly Letwaba RIP (former bassist with Johnny Clegg&Savuka). Many thanks to you my brother for your apreciation.
