Where have all the bassists gone??

[CrispyEgg]

I admire the J-Pop variation that some may call "electronica" or "techno". Consists of, usually, female vocals, and samples or patches of very "techno" sounding stuff as backing.

A not so hardcore, but popular example is Ayumi. Her intro's are very much like that.

A less known example is the OPENING theme to Kanon (an anime series), Last Regrets sung by Ayana. "Bravin' Bad Brew" by Riryka is another example. haha forgive my J-fan'dom.

and keep the spam down.


edit, refering to your post below: not funny. this is what turns a forum for musicians to gather and chat about music related stuff, into a forum full of bull because immature raging hormones cannot control themselves and keep to basic FORUM COURTESY.

 

[BadgerS88]

[shinobi]

[blurred]

[CrispyEgg]

Sidetrack: seen the Jaco Fender @ Paradiz? omg. i think... 2nd floor. yeah.


You're not brightening the place. "mmm spam" is an old joke. You're just causing a mess by spamming. take constructive criticism and go do something about that clown attitude of yours. oh, and don't assume that u know me, that i'm a grumpy person and all, unless you're just another socially-deficient kozoid.

 

[shinobi]

any idea where i can find a fender jazz v? the last time i saw a MIJ one at the little shop opposite davis selling for around 1.6k

must try the fretless. looks damn shiok to play

 

[BadgerS88]

fender jazz should be found around paradiz unless theyve all out of stock, or maybe try the shop next to guitar gallery at paradiz but i heard recently that it might be closed down. :?

 

[DarkRed]

hi guys, just delurking for a bit.. was looking for fender jazz fivers just a couple of days ago. you can check out guitar connection - i think they have a marcus miller 5 there. also, i came across a MIJ at ranking. its a bit worn, but retails around $1.4k.

have a good evening, TGIF

 

[shinobi]

thx for the info darkred

might close down means got lelong sale is it?

 

[CrispyEgg]

the standard fender Vs are pretty ugly in some cases. but the US special Vs are rly nice!

 

[reyrey]

how's fender 5 string's low b?anybody tried it b4?

 

[Z3r0_G]

the MIMs have poor sounding B strings. no definition. not sure abt MIA ones.

 

[CrispyEgg]

mm i've seen n tried a MIA P/MM active (yeah, WHoa.) n the low b was good!!

not sure about the standard ones tho. so far, i trust all MIJ models to have a certain benchmark quality and tone, and no MIJ fender goes below that benchmark. most of the ASH bodies (MIJ) are above that benchmark, and MIMs are all below or equal.

 

[iverson763]

My MIA low b sounds a little undefined and flappy at the moment. a common problem apparently. Gonna get it setup properly, try a larger B string gauge, and i'll get back to you guys on whether it's actually rectifiable... after my exams, of course

Crispyegg: +1. the MIA V's look super solid. i intend to change my pickguard to tortoise shell, with the sunburst body, give it a 62's mojo vibe. Exciting stuff man

 

[Z3r0_G]

fenders should just stick to the 4 string vintage vibe la. dont ya'll agree? it;s like the original and should stay with that mojo man.

let others like lakland and mike lulls do their job haha.
