tonybassplayer Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 At long last we are rehearsing this weekend and one of the songs I need to master is Carwash. The bit I am struggling with is the fast slap part. I have been on youtube which has helped quite a bit but any more assistance would be most appreciated Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Hands Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) I don't actually know (my own interpretation of it is not good), but I just wanted to take the opportunity to reiterate the fact that Lequient "Duke" Jobe who played it originally with Rose Royce was a monster, and often under-rated, bass player. I looked him up on Google a while ago, and found an article that said these days he was living a pretty squalid lifestyle in a caravan. I don't know if it's true.

I saw RR once back in the mid-80's and as well as laying down a seriously solid groove he did an awesome solo spot. As far as I can remember, it lasted for well over 5 minutes. He'd have given Louis Johnson a run for his money in the solo slapfest marathon stakes, IMHO. Sorry man, can't help you with the transcription though. Never needed to learn it...

nig Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I play this in a band and put my own pops and slap in the fill section, as long as it sounds right, not clumsy and its in the pocket then by and large a comfy approximation is fine, otherwise you would be a session player on high rollin gigs like the top geezers...
