blue Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1415117585' post='2596883'] Defo a can of worms here....anyway here's my two penny's worth........ Poet by Sly Stone.....it's such a sexy groove and has some of the best lyrics ever written about being an artist IMO. I love the rising high-on-neck bass line (or maybe it's an octave down guitar) towards the end of the song.[/quote] Bassnut, you nailed it. Incredible example of groove.The whole Riot album is historic funk & groove. I remember when Sly released the Riot album. It's been like a bible for me since 1971 (43 years ago ). At the time they said the album was ahead of it's time. I got new for them, it's still ahead of it's time. There ain't nobody groovin and funkin like that cat at the end of Poet! Tidbits;[list] [*]If you guys think that's Larry Graham on bass your wrong. [*]That is Sly playing bass. [*]Sly recorded some of the tracks in his RV and some in his Beverly Hills mansion. [*]He drove a lot of cats crazy during that time. [*]He called Bobby Womack before it was released and said; [i]Hey man, I',m coming out of left field on everybody with this one"[/i] [*]Sly came out of left field on everyone with this release.

Rumple Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Really looking forward to listening to some of these later on today.

leschirons Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 After this lot, I'll never need to trawl You tube for my Sunday morning groove time. There's some really fantastic stuff there (and the VULFPECK track is something else) Nice to see that good groove does not just depend on 70's hair and multi-coloured satin jumpsuits.

It inspired me to buy Hamfist's modified Westone Thunder with P and MM pickups, which is now also wearing TIs and can get similar sounds!

Roland Rock Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 It's interesting seeing different people's interpretations of 'groove' - lots of funk, but for me 'groove' has a rockier slant: http://youtu.be/BMcVxWtELj0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBass Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 This for me has it all! The tone that I'd die for and the groove and feel of a true master! In fact the entire Voodoo album is utter bass-fection! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17LQRXXrWjY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
