Props to Jason. (bassmonkee)

[TSanders]

I met up with Jason at the Atlanta GC today, and it was a blast.

#1, he hooked me up with the TI flats Ive been wanting to try on the SR5. And they are AMAZING. I dont think Ill ever use another string on the StingRay 5.

#2, Jason brought his white Bongo 5 fretless and that bass was smokin. Easily the best sounding fretless bass Ive ever heard. Let me tell ya too, Jason is one heck of a player. He tore that Bongo to shreds, and had excellent tone.

Just thought Id share that with you guys.

Yeah, Jason can tear it up. I was always reminded how good my basses are when he played them.

I know this - I am NOT playing bass in front of him.

Ever.

He's good.

Today was one of those days, where I just felt like I was playing like crap, and of course it was the day I met up with Jason.

He was rippin away, and I felt like a major douche playing in front of him.


Jason, I swear I dont always suck as bad as I did today.


I guess Ill just steal Jacks line. I may suck, but my tone is killer. Now even more killer with the TIs.

Jason rocks. And good on him.

i went through the same thing. i couldn't stop listening to that one for the longest time.

oh, and i've heard jason too. the dude can play.

 

[0557]

I can confirm that as well. I met up with Jason at GC in ATL, and he can definetly
throw out some great lines.....and groove.

 

[Mahlon]

Jason, how 'bout a 60 second sound clip to show me what I'll never be???

 

[bassmonkeee]

Aw, shucks, guys.

I just back from a tooth extraction, so it was nice to read this thread for a nice little ego stroke. The vicodin doesn't hurt, either.

I'm glad you dig the Jazz Flats, Travis. Truly great strings, indeed. And, don't let Travis' false modesty fool ya--his playing was anything but crap, I can assure you. I don't think there is anything that I can do that he can't. Of course, since I have been playing for almost as long as Travis has been alive eek, it does feel good that i impressed him a bit.

And, Jack--you can play and sing at the same time, so I don't even want to hear it from you, Mister. I have a hard enough time standing and playing bass at the same time...


Oh, and I'm up for a little fretless Bongo threeway. Someone has to prove to Pete that a fretless can sound amazing with flats....

 

[bassmonkeee]

I can confirm that as well. I met up with Jason at GC in ATL, and he can definetly

You're no slouch your damn self. I'd love to meet up again so I can show you that I can actually be personable when you catch me on a non-****y day.

 

[bassmonkeee]

Heh--well, you do have such wonderful toys....
