Howdy Oh great Woodwind God from across the pond...at the moment I'm in serious need of a double bass,playing a simulation Vst is fine as far as it goes,,but unfortunately it has severe limitations..thanks in part to you,my love of the jazz sounds that I grew up with are resurfacing and manifesting on my musical horizon.."if it ain't got that swing it don't mean a thing"..can't remember who said that but it's very true....thanks buddy..Dave :)

Cool mate!...there's not too many fusionistas left or so it seems...but always remember one thing,it's very easy to slip your hat on backwards but it's a tad more difficult to slip on an axe and get away with it! lol..cheers buddy Dave :)

Hey Bud..thanks man,always good to hear from the premier skin man! :) I still don't know how drummers do it..it's like watching hyper complicated juggling,I think they are dipped in a vat of rhythm at birth!lol..I'll be over to the mix to hear your featured spot on Joseph's show ...cheers Dave

Hey mate...thank you very much for the cool review...we're all rhythm junkies at heart and sometimes I flash onto images of an Orchestra,but with contemporary elements...chuck out the choir bring in some MC's,bassplayers,guitarists,synth players etc...then rev the whole shebang up...cheers Dave :)

Hey Al..thanks man,I really appreciate your input if a guitarist likes what I'm doing I must be doing something right!plus Zappo let me run all over the shop in this one..cheers buddy :)

Hey Spiv...thanks mate I was wondering what Zappo would make of this when I sent it to him,and he was very supportive in his playing,the bass line is a bit full on but hey these things happen! lol..cheers mate :)

Thanks mate for your splendid review..I was scratching my head as to what genre I should put this under Jazz/Funk/Fusion? it has a bit of all maybe..cheers man :)

Hey Steve...this piece is a little indulgent but I had to get it out of my system and Zappo did a marvellous job of letting me have full reign,man I remember when I got my first bass and couldn't tune it! lol..when you get your recording system up and running I need a Slap infusion real bad...you'll be interested in my new sound,excellent double bass Vst midi controlled by "Wilma" my Jazz Bass..cheers mate :)

Hi Danbo..thank you very much for all the wonderful reviews you've given me..I'll reply here in length rather than do multiple short ones :)
Looking at your profile I see that we have many common influences and tastes in music...from a very early age I was always attracted to the 'Rhythm' section of music,from tribal drums to the bottom end throb and thump of the bass...bass players have always been in the rhythm section but for many years their job was to follow and play a totally supportive role,well thanks to many of the player that you've mentioned the dynamics have changed forever and now the bass is a fully integrated solo ensemble instrument where it rightfully belongs...melody lines and call response phrases are all at the bass player's doorstep now..I see that you are a Frenchman!(I was there last in 1975 and my Sister lives in Paris!)..where did a young Miles Davis go when he was disillusioned with his musical acceptance in America and the inherent racial roadblocks to his career at that time..France!..Jazz music has always proliferated in that country and the world is grateful....thank you again..cheers Dave/planet :)

Thank you MrWhite..always nice to get your slant on things..cool!...cheers mate Dave :)

Thanks mate...I've always liked Eastern music and culture,it's been around since year dot..cheers planet :)
