It's always interesting to hear different people's perspectives on a familiar instrument. I can appreciate Mark King, Jaco, and Paul Jackson too. Just seems kinda foreign to me seeing Level 42 riffs on a Thunderbird
. Not that it can't pull it off - it just doesn't seem to be "voiced" in a way that I would pair it up with those styles.
I guess that's what draws me to (oddball) basses that have a unique sound - exploit what they do best, and save the slappin' for the Modulus! And preferably *not* thru a flanger in a band setting!
I think its fun getting on different basses and letting their characteristics or idiosyncrasies influence my approach a bit. Some people, on the other hand, hate that.
Still a cool clip, and he (or his shop) did a nice job on that sunburst finish!
