wombatboter Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 There used to be a great extended version of "I'm your man" by Wham with a great bass-solo in the middle of it.. Haven't heard that one for a long time and hard to find.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Lyn Collins anyone? I recently bought Mama Feelgood (cost me a massive £1.93 on Amazon as I had a £2 voucher from a recent book purchase!). It's full of great classic funky grooves Here's one of my initial favourites: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_cTV2P9oWo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_cTV2P9oWo[/url] The version I have is a couple of minutes longer but this gives a good feel for her.

Stingray5 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Continuing one of the best threads on Basschat, here's a funky groove for Saturday afternoon. Featuring M King on bass and the ridiculously tight Charlie Morgan on drums (...well, he never bought [i]me[/i] a drink, anyway!! ) I always liked how the chord sequence works in this one too.

Stingray5 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Digging back into the mists of vinyl, I was reminded of this gem by 70's funk/rock/fusion band Upp. The aptly-named Stephen Amazing is on bass. (Produced by Jeff Beck). (Thanks be to Youtube, saving me the task of transferring from vinyl! ) Upp - "Get Down in the Dirt" Upp - "Give it to You" Upp - "Bad Stuff" and finally... originally from 1974 and shown on BBC Four Upp feat. Jeff Beck - "Down In The Dirt" (incl. nice pick bass and drum solos) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Academy Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) Great to see this thread still going. Here's a Marcus-penned Sanborn tune. Could only find a live version, but I recommend the studio original. Simple but fantastic bass line.

From what I can gather he's a very modest guy who's driven by his religious beliefs, otherwise I think we'd've heard much more of him. He's my main inspiration to learn and improve as a player.
