lowdown Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) The wonderful voice of Melba Moore, with the great Van MaCoy Orchestration and arrangement. Sadly he didn't see out the 70's, he was a terrific talent and right in the thick of the golden days of this style of music. Has all the ingredients, even some Clavinet, with a dollop of Xylo, Glock and Pizz strings hidden away. http://youtu.be/Ag8-rVxE5tc Edited September 24, 2016 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's why I am doing OK playing guitar in this band,...just as well too, as my shredding abilities are strictly limited to a particular breakfast cereal, of which I cannot eat three.

TheGreek Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Some absolute classic basslines on this thread - when I have more time I'm going to come back and steal...err "rejuvenate" some of these riffs. I think everytime somebody claims to be bored with playing Bass we re-direct them to this thread.

lowdown Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Back then, arranging was very much the name of the game in Disco, especially the Philly type style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sxuRJeaRmI&list=RD_sxuRJeaRmI&t=19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytoad Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 [quote name='oldbass' timestamp='1471676014' post='3114893'] And that is how you produce a dance tune...clean crisp bass and instruments beautifully seperated by some tasty engineering....old school style. [/quote] Just how do you get that bass tone? Humbucker, steels, compression and a mid scoop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] ^ This. Listen to those fiddles getting a thorough workout at around 2.30!! And there has to be 60+ musicians on this recording - bass trombones, French horns, the works.

I am not a great fan of re-releases with new, up-to-the-minute, beats grafted on if that's what it is. For the moment I am playing the tune back in my head as remembered.
