Cameo - The Hits Collection So good, so good!

Beautiful! There is balance in the universe!

@bubinga5 good points. Funk is feel thing. Funk is a radio and we all choose to tune in to our favourite stations. For me it’s the heavier, more psychedelic sounds of P-Funk and Prince. Respect to James Brown and Earth Wind and Fire but I’ll never listen to them.

Prince - Stare

@Tradfusion good stuff! Was going to recommend using a maroon Scotch-Brite pad.

Warwick (4 string) is my favourite, especially the older ones with the more rounded edges. An old Fender headstock feels like home, love them too. Always liked the Tobias headstocks (anybody got a picture?). And the Jaydee on here is just so classy.

Treat yourself and it to getting a luthier to do the job. I did it to my 74 Jazz (owned since 92) and I wished I’d done it earlier. After 3 decades that bass is authentically yours! Get it done.

Avoid the bearded smug-funk for it is not so. Get P-Funk in your earhole. “Those who know, know. And those who don’t, get funked up” - Bootsy Collins.

Billy Cobham - Stratus

by the marvellous Wendy Melvoin. I love Wendy & Lisa and that bassline is a particular favourite. Good call. There’s great bass all over Fruit at the Bottom. Lolly Lolly and Everday are really worth getting in your ear! Lisa put a ❤️ on a comment of mine on Facebook last week. Made my day!

@police squad yup, that’s got p bass written all over it! Great set you lucky fella. No room for “Out of Control”?! Ooh, you playing guitar on 40? 😁

@police squad care to share the set? Might that dictate the bass you use?

Ah but there’s plenty more who think they are just brilliant. I will never stop marvelling at Bad live (even if I’m convinced that Adam’s last lick is an overdub!). 😁

Ace. Well done 👍
