Pretty cool.
I hate to say it but I think Jay Kay's voice is weaker than it used to be.

That is always fun to see an F Bass being used in a band that I love (that is because I am an F Bass owner)
Anyone know what type of amp he is using? |

The irony is that he sounds just like he did playing his SR5. Dude could have saved himself some money unless that F Bass is way lighter. I know my SR5 HH is pretty heavy.

That bass is fricking beautiful, i wish we'd see more boutique bass on tv. |

| | | | I've seen the tapes with Paul Turner playing the SR5 too...and I actually like the tone of the SR5 a little more -- its a little ballsier and bassier.
[disclaimer: SR5 player]
He's a killer fingerstyle player whatever he's playing, of course! |

Live in verona is the only released one, I think. Bunch of boots on the net though. IIRC Tokyo Dome '99 and '97 in arizona (forget exact title) are pretty good.

My comment on Jay's voice...
I just remember it being very strong and pure a while ago. It's been weathered for better or worse - he probably smokes and all that.

my respect for Paul Turner has gone way up now, hadn't really seen him live before and I don't own the new record hah! Guess it was foolish of me to think that any mug could get the Jamiroquai gig haha (one of the top gigs in world bass playing I'd say, would be an absolute pleasure to jam those songs out all over the world!). Wouldnt say the bass sounded too much like an SR5 tho, has enough neck pup in there and that bass just sounds alot warmer than an SR5 with less bite. Not sure what I would prefer for that tune in particular.
