    underated overrated bassists

    As others have said, pick up Heavy Weather ASAP. Not just to hear Jaco in a way you may not have before, but it is just a wonderful album. Zawinul, Shorter, Jaco, Acuna, Badrena = Magic! Dang it, I'm going to go listen to it myself now.

    Paul's Ric: psycadelic paint job?

    This is from an interview with Paul in The Bass Player Book: Around the time the group recorded Magical Mystery Tour (April-December 1967), Paul's Rickenbacker got a psychedelic paint job; you can see the hippy-dippy colors in the film. "Yep, I got out the old aerosols," Paul confirms. "We...

    Carvin SB5000 / SB4000 Roll Call...Part 4!

    I just wanted to say I'm drooling over the beautiful basses in this thread. I hope to become an SB owner in the not too distant future. Quick question: Is the bass SB plays in the demo videos on the Carvin website an active or passive model?

    Squier Classic Vibe Club (Part 2)

    I'm thinking of picking up a CV jazz. I've noticed they're $350 at the online retailers. Is this a good price or is there usually some room to talk them down a few dollars if you buy in person locally? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
