I doff my cap, with complete creative inferiority, to the mighty Mr Palladino...

Also have to learn I Got You (It Bites) and Get The Funk Out (Extreme). Not for a gig but just for the sheer unadulterated pleasure of playing some funk/rock!! :)[/quote]
get the funk out is a great line, in fact most of that album (bar the croony stuff) has great basslines. trying to convince my band to cover GTFO but it's falling on deaf ears at the mo :huh:

My new G&L ASAT does a very good p bass impression so i have been playing loads of Stranglers/ clash etc, I really must learn to use a pick :)

After spending what seemed like an eternity working out Abba's 'Dancing Queen' for an unsuccessful local audition, where the band couldn't play it anyway, because they'd forgotten to bring along the backing track(?!) :) - thought I'd have a crack at 'Forget Me Nots' by Patrice Rushen.

What a great, iconic bassline! I found surprisingly easy, considering I'm not really a slapper. My Ibby Blazer with steel rounds nails Freddie Washington's tone nicely. :huh:

I've got a sax gig in a few weeks playing 20 classic funk tunes and about 8 I've never heard before so I'm learning them all on bass first to get the real feel before working out what I'll play on baritone sax ...

I got you (not learning that one, it's hard wired :))

etc
