And he was actually very sloppy. Not in a cool loose, kind of way, just sloppy. Also, if you listen to any of her earlier live recordings the bass is more articulate and sits nicer in the groove. Saying that, he looked like he was enjoying himself. I was too busy checking out Jill anyway to be fair. Quote
trent900 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Just saw this comment on the same video on another forum and laughed out loud: THIS WAS BEYOND SICK. THIS IS JUST DOWN RIGHT ILLEGAL IN ALL 50 STATES. IT HAS TO BE ILLEGAL TO GROOVE THAT HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quite. Quote
Rich Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Now [i]that[/i]'s what I call 'making a joyful noise'... what an impeccable groove. Just fabulous. If the Church of England was a bit more like that and a bit less thou-thee-thine and pious, I reckon they'd get a lot more people through their doors on a Sunday Quote
guzzibass Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I love this Bootsy clip - that's the funk.... [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IHE6hZU72A4"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IHE6hZU72A4[/url] Quote
bluesparky Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Big fan of that. I've not really heard much "worship" / gospel music, so it seems i'm missing out on all of that funk! Quote
yoyobass Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Nice to hear some love given to a bass player who is just groovin' ..love some of the flash stuff most players are into, but this vibe of laying it down is what got me picking up the bass in the 1st place. Quote
Huge Hands Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I'm enjoying this one that is Terry Tribbett playing with his Brother Tye's [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=O_JSNEltOjY&feature=related"]gospel group GA.[/url] Some nice groove and like the volume knob work. Who needs pedals? Quote
Monz Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I have never heard bass that "in the pocket" and grooving that hard before ever... I have to learn to play like that before I put my bass away for the last time Absolutely INSPIRING!!! Quote
Huge Hands Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Just found [url="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=16358686"]this.[/url] It's the Jill Scott track from the Jools Holland DVD I mentioned earlier featuring Thaddeus "Terry" Tribbett on bass and his amazing cousin Erik on drums. This epitomises the pair of them for me (wait 'til it gets going in the middle). Funnily enough this has been posted on a site by the drummer himself, where he has several examples of his playing.

molan Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 [quote name='Josh' post='169989' date='Apr 4 2008, 07:23 PM']Ahh thats Sharay Reed! American Gospel Bass Players are by far the most influential and talented guys around, and for me will always make me dive for my bass as opposed to most solo players, great choice Richard! They naturally know how to groove better than most [/quote] I'm with Josh on this, So many great gospel bass players in the States. I find them much more listenable than a lot of the, way more famous, jazz/funk guys out there Quote
4000 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Nice! Have to say though that the clip reinforces my opinion of what is my least favourite bass sound, which is that wiry, modern Jazz Bass tone; I think I only like Js with flats! BTW, is it me or is Bootsy dripping the Funk from the very first note he plays on the clip of him? Quote

Delberthot Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Nah, bootsy to me is more a leg end than a good player. I listened to the clips back there and there wasn't really anything outstanding there. Now that Gospel bloke was amazing. He didn't play anything difficult, it was just the way he played it. I didn't realise that Gospel was so huge in the US until I registered with Talkbs.there's loads of players over there doing Christian stuff. Quote
Toadonroll Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 If this was any more in the pocket it'd be a pair of socks. Quote
