Ya Know he has a point AX.

if you can respect a phenominal bassist and like far-out jazz, check out Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. i have seen Victor Wooten (their bass player) before, and he he absolutely amazing. i can sit there and try to figure out how the hell he is doing what he is doing for hours.

blows my mind.

[Faust]

point ax? not sure what that is, but the basses i have seen Les play were either Carl Thompson custom basses or the fretted Rickenbacher Geddy Lee gave him.


what is a point AX?

[UnitedWeStand]

George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

[AznStyl]

atb, Milk Inc., Earthbound, Ayla, Dj Epic, Dj Mystik... to name a few.. there r many more.. but those r trance/techno mix if u guyz wonder who they r

[Deus ex Machina]

I am pretty sure that Ax was only fooling (I started by teasing Jaco).... Jaco was a great bassist

[Faust]

aaah... NM. i am a total goober for not reading the rest of the thread.

still, David. have a listen to "Filght of the Cosmic Hippo" (Bela Fleck). really cool music.

(*snaps fingers in applause*)

No point Faust. Just goofin' dude. Frets, no frets, makes no difference. Most great bass players handle both style instruments with equal aplomb.

I agree about Wooten, pure jaw dropping stuff. I've never seen him, but I've heard recordings. Wasn't his brother part of the band too?

[Deus ex Machina]

I will Have to give them a closer listen, thank you Scott.

[Faust]

hmmm... i remember reading something along those lines. can't remember for sure. too lazy to do googling right now.

in any event, it tres bien. the music is great, but from a technical standpoint it's mind-boggling (when Vic goes off).

thumbs up!

Off Topic: Hey United, when I was a kid growing up in Plainfield, NJ, George Clinton was my barber for a year or two. His band used to practice in a room behind the shop. In spite of his outrageous hairstyles he was a pretty decent barber, believe it or not.

Some of the original members of Parliament were playing this weekend at a benefit for the high school in Plainfield (If memory serves).
