what jazz bass with hum cancelling pickups sounds like a fender though in the first place?;)

i hear ya on the playing though. my own goals are to groove like the gospel/r&b guys and blow like the jazz geeks. it took me a while to figure out that squirrly on top of the beat playing probably wasnt the best idea in the world in every genre of music:hiding:

+1, that was again kind of my point regarding Anthony's post. Many of us love the classic Fender tone, but would rather go elsewhere than a Fender 5 if a more modern active sound is the goal.

Again, sorry for the OT, it's a little bit of a running joke between my good friend Dr. Cheese and me:)

Chi-town Represent !!! go to his myspace to check out his CD, Link Removed playing and more importantly writing to be found there. Also the thing about Sharay's playing I love is that he is a trained musician with a degree but combines his formal knowledge with his gospel background,it's funny to me when guy's go how does he come up with those fill's? and I say "because he actually knows the chord's and extensions"

On another note...............does Sharay slap much? I don't think I've ever seen or heard him slapping. I became aware of him some years back when he played on Brian Culbertson's earlier cd's and on some Urban Knights cd's but can't recall if he slapped on any tune. There is also a newer video of him playing that same gospel song and he's still killing it. Too bad that new clip isn't that long.

I own his cd and just a heads up......it is NOT a BASS record at all. Just some well written and well played Gospel tunes.

I agree 100%. That's a different point. My point was that really isn't the classic Fender tone that Dr. Cheeze mentioned in his post.

Sorry for the OT. I've been trying to get Anthony (Dr. Cheeze) to stop buying and selling all those cheapo's every two months and buy a real bass:hiding::D:bassist::cool::ninja::eek:

It's all good Ken!:D I actually like the tone of Fender Deluxe Jazz Vs. I love the crispness of single coils, but a bright, hum canceling Jazz like a Fender, LowEnd, or Sadowsky works just fine me too.:)

Actually, although the tone is not exactly the same, Sharay Reed reminds me a bit of MeShell on that clip of her playing a Celinder.

I agree that I need to leave the cheapos alone, but I don't consider a Fender Jazz Deluxe V a cheapo. IMO, it is a very nice production bass like a Stingray.:bassist:

Just one of many answers to the questions people ask, "Why do I need to know theory"

New Fender Jazz Deluxe fives, from 1996 on, don't have one sound. Actually, if you leave them alone without big tweaks, they're very versatile. You can then blame the player for the rest.
:cool:

And a lot of people don't want that classic 60's J bass tone... or maybe don't want be limited to that. I have a nice '68 and I rarely play it. With the 70's-ish basses you can dig in hard like Marcus and get that bite or lighten up (relatively speaking), change how you pluck and get a serious burp without sizzle.

This brings to mind people who've pigeon-holed Musicman Stingrays as one trick ponies... more likely just one trick players playing them. Don't blame the bass...;)

+1 My comments to Dr. Cheese really are OT, and I of course totally agree that a good player can make any bass sound great, and that there are many different 'great' bass tones out there, from passive to active, modern to vintage, etc., etc.:cool:

Again, sorry for the OT in response to Dr. Cheese's Fender comment above. I should have taken that PM, which I have now.

I REALLY like this guys playing a lot! Great soul and emotion in his groove. I like it!
