Good luck to you - although it looks like luck has nothing to do with it. Looked at your YouTube vid of the Joni Mitchell song...loved it.

[quote name='doctorbass' post='316594' date='Oct 28 2008, 11:57 AM']Disco Inferno was definately played by Ronnie Baker of the Trammps.

He was well known for his deep, thumping bass, heavy flatwounds, loads of foam under the bridge to mute the strings - he truly believed that a bass was meant to sound like a bass!!

He died some years ago.[/quote]

Is there a particular youtube clip which shows off his signature sound?
