steve-soar Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) I may have posted this before but here is some of the best bass guitar ever recorded, contained within these 20 seconds of this clip... 2 mins 25 to 2 mins 45. Bliss, bliss, bliss. Check out the thumb muting and The Hook.

steve-soar Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Listen to the end of the song, where Marvin goes from break down to reprise, then he does it again and it is James who leads the dynamic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbass Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Is it just me, or does Jamerson look really uncomfortable and tense in this video? Superb bassline though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Dave Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I do something similar to the thumb damping so I feel well chuffed with myself now!! Re James looking uncomfortable - I read somewhere he used to 'sit' on a high stool like a stand up player rather than sit right down and rest the Precision on his knee - might explain a little of it at least in terms of posture.

bass_ferret Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Nobody has to like motown any more than you have to like U2. However, the list of bass players who were influenced by Jamersons playing without even knowing who is was is enormous and you can still hear his influence on music today. Unlike some other revered bass players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
