Jazz Kat

I listened to two of their albums. Took a little time to get used to, but not that bad. Very unique group, unlike anything I have ever heard, which is what I'm going for most of the time in new musical acts.

I was sure this was a SoulStation1 topic.

No, 19th.

I love Duck! I have numerous MG's stuff! I cought him with Joe Walsh on the Crossroads concert. I love soul music! I gotta dig up some Stax volt. Ottis, where are ya! I especially dig obscure soul music. It seems very creative!

I was listening to this album earlier.... What are your thoughts?

The people!

Yeah I do.. Being a drummer all my life, the bass was the first instrument that I was curious about besides the drums. This was about at age 10. As I picked up the vibes, played trumpet and trombone in the school band, begun to take piano lessons, I still had this yearning to play bass. (also saxophone) Then around five or four years ago, my sister got a guitar for Christmas. (OOO I want a guitar, I'll practice every day!!!!) With three weeks of lessons, she dumped it. I quickly took the guitar into my room, and with just weeks of playing non-sense, I finally started to pick it up. I was soloing pretty good at this point. But I naturally knew how to play a bass at this point, because I wa jamming on my friend's bass. It was the first time I ever played one, and he was like, "man you're better than me!" I didn't know any notes or scales or anything, so I just took it off... But now I really want to go ahead full throttle into the bass with that worthy encouragement. Thanks Soulstream!

My parents would've put up with that for about, oh... two seconds. I remember the ONE time I refused to eat what my mom made for dinner. Guess what I got instead? Nothing and a trip to my bed. I still remember how much my stomach hurt and how hungry I was all night. It only took once and from then on out I ate what my mom put in front of me. ← Was your organ in your room at this point?

Can't imagine a world without milk, for me...

They're saying it's allright, just a little sting.

Who?

Stax stuff?

Today while moeing the lawn at our up-state house, a rock flew out and shot at my eye. Man, I couldn't even open it, now it fucking stings. I thought I'd be blind for a couple hours there, but now it's opening up. Shit, what an experience.

They played Moanin' pretty good.

She gave Johnny boy "props?" Hmmm that's good ain't it.. Or maybe she's getting even more bread to do so. Well all I have to say is, "thats hot!"

Imho bass is THE instrument. All others fall in it's wake. Be a BASS player. Not a disappointed guitarist. Forget the guitar. Throw yourself 100% into bass and you're chances of having a successful career in music has just increased 100 fold. Good bass players are the hardest musician to find. Great ones even harder. Those that do it well gig more than even great drummers imho. One reason I started on organ was that I could play my own bass. This was from first hand knowledge that good bass players are impossible to find (especially when the breat ain't all that great). Be a bass player Jazz Kat and forget every other instrument. Study the greats....Blanton, Brown, Watkins, Chambers, Workman, ect. Play upright and electric. Take lessons. Study the instrument. When the guitar player that replaced you is working his day job in 10 years....you will be gigging if you practice hard. ← Wow Soulstream, pretty encouraging. I think I know what to do. The bass seems perfect for me. I solo pretty good up and down the neck and have a pretty good ear. Thanks for the help. Give me a call in 2 years!! If you decide to throw away those pedals...

This is a question for all you guitar players out there. a rather random question, hopefully it will make sense... How different is playing electric bass from guitar. Well duh. they're two different instruments made for different jobs, (most of the time) but never-the-less the two are both guitars. Do you people who play guitar play electric bass too? The reason I'm asking this is because in my band i used to play guitar, but for some reason I got roped into playing bass. It was a little bit on my part too, they didnt kick me off guitar or nothing. I just want to know how much of a change, or even step down is this.. I call myself a guitar player. Is playing electric bass for now making that statement not true?

Moose.... I thought we were tight..

That's so............................un-American..

George Washington, Martin Luther King Jr, Homer Simpson? I pick John Lennon! Nah, Elvis!

Brian Wilson??? I meant Brian Jones..
