why do ppl think Jaco is such a great bass player?? in my opinion he isnt that good. :confused:

[Max D.]

why do ppl think Jaco is such a great bass player?? in my opinion he isnt that good. :confused:

Because he wrote basslines that fit the song. His work with harmonics and chords is also very amazing.

I wasn't impressed until the very end when he showed some speed. Prior to that it was all "basic complexity" -- so many of the users on here could pull it off. The tapping he was doing kept his left hand in the same position. But yeah, the end got me...

Still, he pulls it off brilliantly on stage, the man has serious chops.

[markhendrix]

Does anyone know who originally composed the song that Percy Jones plays in the video?

:cool:

There's an example of a bassist that doesn't just stand motionless in one place during a performance.

[Charmand G]

I think that brian bloomberg need to re-evaluate his clothing lol, his bassing is hot but that yellow t-shirt...certainly is not..

Not only that: Most of them has a bad taste in clothing in general. Wootens t-shirt, Stu Hamm with Satriani(ugly shirt and strawberry bass), Marcus Miller....puh! ...and why do so many hire a silly synth-players who can only create bad 80`s sounds? :amaze:

[Alma]

thanks for those links, has really help out.

cheers :thumb:

[bastardsloth]

Here is a video of flea demonstrating his slap skills.

I have that video, there's another place where he goes total bananas after saying: "So, when I do this [crazy *** thing for about a minute or so], I something bla bla..."

[xxxwookie]

Mardy?! :eek: Thought you were like dead

[Mardy]

Yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo!
Nah man, I just do other stuff and easily forget about this site.
Whats up?

[DavidFilth]

How does Mr. Sheehan do those weird-arse harmonics, the one where he does that weird hand movement afterwards?? Does he just bend it?

[SixnStones]

i LOVE flea. I know he's not the best. But i do love him

[labgnat]

the dude is crazy, but he seems very cocky. but what the hell, when your that good you can brag a little.

but, after a while double thumping/ muting and all that **** just sounds like noise

i defintely agree with ur sounds like noise comment. it's nice for a minute, but u gotta break it up a bit, play with some feeling, i like to slap a bit, but i'd much rather listen to and come up with a pretty melodic bassline. that's what i dig.
