SHARAY REED-VERY SICK GROOVE!!!!!!!

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.

+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!

No sweat Ken, I started it by saying what I said in favor of Fenders. As I have said before, I have nothing against anyone's boutique, and I still intend to buy one next year, God willing, and no state cutbacks in education!:hiding:

My main point about Sharay is that he is a fine example of someone who owns a good bass who simply put in the hours to be a great player. As Brad likes to say, it is way to easy for a player to blame a bass when either the player needs to study more and/or the player needs to learn about setups.

Sharay Reed is a great example of groove and knowledge for all of us to follow.:bassist:

I've been watching this video for a while now (the one with the Fender V and the warwick rig) and it kills me every time. Sharay Reed is a groove monster... a real inspiration! :bassist:

Never saw that version before. Looks like he was younger in that video. Nice groove. Sharay Reed and Nathan Watts are my two main groove mentors.

The main thing i love about that clip is all the young kids watching and being excited about people actually PLAYING musical instruments,makes me know there's hope for music after all

Never saw that one before... This is insane!! I love gospel bass playing and have seen a fair share of clips on youtube but man, this is on a whole different league... It's kind of a Jamerson approach to the music, he seems to never play the same stuff twice but at the same time he's always staying musical and never messes with the song.

His fill at 2:07 has the crowd going nuts!!

I'll go and practice :ninja:

+1 I play at a church that has a lot of young exceptionally gifted musicians and they inspire me. I'm going to show these clips to them as an example of what "Groove" is.

I'd have to jump through some serious hoops to make my Alder 68 sound like my Ash 78 (if I could at all)... both passive basses.

Yep...the church is one place where there is still tons of love and excitement from kids about music. At my church there's around 15 kids every Sunday that sit over in the corner with the musicians, watching everything we do. Some of the kids that play drums will have their sticks with them playing in their laps along to the music. They always come up to us after the service to ask questions or talk about gear or a lick that was played - very cool!

As an old guy, I wonder if young cats like Sharay Reed and Adam Blackstone cite Anthony Jackson as a major influence. There constantly changing fills really remind me of the way Anthony Jackson played from about 1980-1982 when he was playing on those fantastic Chaka Khan albums.

And many years ago I was one of those kids, I got lucky and the Bass player who came to our church happened to be a Conservatory trained musician and his influence led me to go to music school.

At the risk of hijacking my own thread, here is another amazing bassist who has a music degree and, like Sharay Reed, is a master groover, has deft fills, really knows his theory and and can solo when the time comes, Darrell Freeman:






A Groove is a Terrible Thing to Waste! :cool:
