Hiya,
I've heard this bass line loads of times & my money's on Jamerson. It's a fingerstyle line that only he could have played.

This isn't to say that Kaye is not a great bass player (I heard her playing on "Sloop John B." on my way into work on Friday morning & deliberately turned the car stereo up to hear her bass part), but Kaye (as far as I'm aware) was pretty handy with a plectrum & the bass part on "I Was Made to Love Her" is all fingerstyle to my ears.

Cheers,

Hi Ladies & Gents,
Don't remember doing this on either Bassworld or Basstalk but here goes....

I've been playing bass guitar for nearly 23 years. Spent the first 6 playing in originals bands before the realisation that I wasn't going to make it sank in & have spent the last 17 quite happily playing in covers bands in Surrey & Berkshire.

My gear at the moment is: Three 5 string basses (an Overwater J5, a Yamaha TRB5, & a Yamaha BBN5), a Yamaha BBT500H amp & two Epifani UL110 speakers. I have also got some Boss effects pedals (Compressor, Octaver & Chorus) but haven't used those in years.

Favourite bassists: Probably too many to mention, but my all time faves are Jaco, Jamerson, Duck Dunn, Pino & John Patitucci. Only wish I could play like 'em!

Favourite music: Blues, 60's Soul, Funk, Classic Rock (Cream / Led Zeppelin / Stones / The Who), anything by Paul Weller, Bruce Springsteen, Country & Western, Jazz, Prog Rock, Fusion...

Interests outside of music: Being with my wife & stepdaughter, reading, footie (Up the 'Ammers!), watching the odd film here & there & any good documentary.

Am looking forward to joining in with the posters on the site!

Cheers,
iamthewalrus
