Eff that! If I see anybody but Mike Watt with this bass it's on.

Nice work on the "everything else"! Did you ever get the beginning down? This is my first real attempt at a difficult transcription and this song is killing me! The bulk of the song sounds a bit more approachable, but the beginning is crushing my transcription confidence. Anyone out there have...

Indeed! He makes it look so easy, too. I've been butchering "Do, I Do" and other funk classics since I happened along his youtube stuff, great player and learning resource.

On some songs he sure is! On others he's a testament to what soul bass should be (something like say, Evidence), to what thrash bass should be (Malpractice, Suprise! You're Dead), what gospel\praise should be (Just A Man) and "what the hell am I listening to?" should be (Get Out, Smaller and...

Cool! My brother Dan is the bassist. He plays some really soulful stuff on both of those cds. I love when he gets props around here! Anyway, I love to jam along with Angel Dust or King For A Day by FNM. Great variety of playing styles on those albums. Go Bill Gould!

For my price range and playing needs (I'm cheap and I suck) Schecter basses are a dream come true. I have a Stiletto 5 and a sweet-ass Model T that together cost me less than $1000. That $1000 was my intended budget for just 1 "mid-range" bass. For my hands and ears, I'd put either of these 2...

something by The Beatles like Come Together or Maxwell's Silver Hammer (or just plain Something?) I'm going through a Paul McCartney phase and loving his ability to play simple melodic things that arent really simple. You can learn a lot from Sir Paul.....

I agree 100%. Putting a Fender logo on a Squire is odd to me, why bother? Your bass is a liar! Let your playing tell people "what kind of bass" it is. Putting a Sadowsky or Fodera logo on a Squire would feel different, tho, as it's almost almost tongue in cheek. Hell, I would love to see one of...

I think it's an old-ass H22. It sounds awesome and plays pretty well, too. Not really my thing but he loves it to death. And that's such a cool shot!

My brother doin' the job.

That's what I'm talking about! Probably my 2nd favorite musician period, next to John Paul Jones. He's not underrated, just under-recognized (the mask years didnt help). He's got a great website if you've never been there, with some great bass and gear info and the story behind the Dead Goon...

I'm not in a band, I've never made any real money playing bass or making music and I have 5 basses. I love all of them and dont imagine selling any of them ever, unless I need a kidney. Do Schecter make kidneys? Different tones, different feels, different vibes with each one.... lines that run...

I love all of my basses and everyone else's, too. Great thread. Schecter Stiletto 5 string (Love it) Schecter Model T (Love it) Charvel Concert (Love it) 48th St Custom Jazz (Love it so much) 4 total for me (for now, I've been feeling spendy....) 2330 for TalkBass!

+1. Somehow they replaced him with a better, more technical bassist and got worse.... I still love Justin and Tool (and Danny Carey, holy $hit what a drummer), but sorta like an old girlfriend that put on a bunch of weight.

He's out there in Velvet Revolver with Slash. He is an underrated player and an underrated person as well. I remember after GnR combusted he became a buddhist or something, and started taking business classes to prepare for another sort of future all together. Not a huge fan of his, or theirs...
