JC, I LOVE your version of this tune. Always have. We've both have great taste in influences/bass teachers. ;^)

wow i wasnt expecting a reply from the source itself.. couldnt asked for a better perso nto reply. first of all great palying irrelevant of sex. I own a musicman man stringray 5 but im looking for somethin a bit more relaxed and calm from the explosive sound of the msuciman in order to play more relaxing tunes like latino and smooth jazz. is that bass a neck through?

[ladybassmusic]

The Ibanez was a bolt on. That Ibanez in the video was heavily modded, so it was no longer a stock model.  The basses I am playing now (Spector, Syme/LightWave, and a Rickenbacker) are all neck through. I have found both the Spector and the LightWave basses to be very flexible for what I do...you can do chords, jazz, latin, big band, rock. I've been very happy with both basses.

very well done, wat bass u got?

[ladybassmusic]

Thanks for checking out my video. That video was done with an Ibanez SR series bass. I sold that bass last fall and purchased a Spector Euro LX6. I also play a Syme/LightWave fretless 5 string and NS Designs CR-5 electric upright.

I've played Bass for 38 years. While this style of bass playing isn't my cup of tea you do it very well.

@lunchmeat317 Okay....I realized that it's an inversion of a B diminished triad. Definitely time to start messing around with specific triad voicing.

[lunchmeat317]

Hey, I really like this.

I too play a six, and I love using those exact chords that you're using. Good stuff! (You're a lot better at the in-between fills, though. That's a major weak spot of mine.) I also really like the descending chord melody you did at 0:42 - the E minor triad to D# augmented to that lovely D chord with the minor third and major sixth (this caught me off guard - I'm gonna have to steal that chord from you :P ) and then the C# dominant leading right back home. I'm inspired!

I like it. Funny how similarly we have approached it :-)

I spent half the time trying to figuring out if u were a boy or girl

Geeze, I had a bit of a time doing this when I played guitar. Now I'm over to bass, and I would think it's a wee bit harder.
