Jazz and the Electric Bass

[shawnturner]

Hi,

I'm sitting here in my home and listening to my favorite Jazz station, KKJZ, Long Beach Ca. streaming to me on my computer. I guess computers are not totally evil.

While listening to some great smooth and traditional jazz I realized how seldom an electric bass is used in jazz.

I would guess over 95% of the Jazz music I listen to is URB. I know the reasons why as well as most of you do.

It is not only the Tone, Slurrs and the MWAH but something a little mystic also. I'm not sure we could ever capture that into a Electric Bass Guitar.


Know what I mean?

Any suggestions?

Please help.

Thanks!



I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
