Yves is such a top, top musician. I love his lyrical style... A few years back, he did a version of 'Teen Town' on a two string Bass (which you have no doubt heard, I should imagine).

Top stuff...very well played. I'm listening to it through my Nearfields and I like the Bass sound. It's responsive and even sounding. 👍

That Hi-hat pattern could do with some luke-warm Pea soup.

I have and used Scala since it's beginning. I think it's an amazing piece of musical software. It's has a lot of very deep functionality and it's worth checking out the various YouTube tutorials knocking about.

This just popped up on my Facebook timeline. Dave, miming away like a trooper with his Burns Bass: 🤣

You certainly have the 'Knack' for spotting good Basslines.

If that was aimed at me - My post was in jest. Hence...'Joking aside' and

Here you go. You will have to transpose it down a tone - It's the Bb Trumpet part.

For some of us older gits who stumble into Basschat, Mo Foster has a few good stories to tell. Anthony Jackson. Abe Laboriel.

A great tune and both versions hit the spot with me. Earl Klugh's version has Louis Johnson on Bass, Steve Gadd on Kit and of course, Dave Grusin's lovely subtle string arrangement.

I was only jesting... It was more a tilt at the thread or post @ambient started last year and his dads Power Drill (or other tools from his shed). Which I can't seem to find....honest, M'lud.

😂😂

I would keep the the Precision, get my hammer and chisel out, and drop a Jazz Bass pup in near the bridge....sorted. 🤣

I've worked in Newcastle on various shows over the years and have always had a great time there. The people are great and I still have a few Geordie musician friends to this day. In London, back in the 80's, my flatmate was a Guitarist (from the Byker area) and he had studied music at CAT before moving down to London. I used to travel up there quite a lot with him for social shenanigans. Rockshots (Formerly Scamps, I think) and The Broken Doll were two of my favourite haunts. Christ, they were right old places...🤣 I have nothing but great memories of the place. Particularly a certain mad, Geordie vocalist girlfriend, I was with during that period.

Keep On Stepping' is another good 'In The Pocket' track that he played on. There is a transcription and YouTube audio in the link below: https://basslessons.be/transcriptions.php?i=424 The bands Website: http://www.fatbackband.com/johnnyflippen.html

If anyone is interested, the Bassist with the Fatback Band back then was, 'Johnny Flippen'. He could certainly groove a bit.

How many times a day do you do this, Chris? Is it an OCD thing or is it some kind of stress reliever?
