Lo. Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Hello all - I'm sure I was here in a previous life a few years back. I'm just another bass addict from the Manchester area - been playing 20 years. I have a CIJ 2003 P-bass, a 73 Jazz, a 2006(?) Maverick S4 and a much neglected Status Energy 5. Here's my youtube stuff: [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/jamersonshook"]http://www.youtube.com/user/jamersonshook[/url] Look forward to chatting bass, and maybe answering a few Motown questions if I can. I was lucky enough to have worked demonstrating Phil Jones Bass gear with Bob Babbitt for a week at NAMM in January - I met a good few other bass heroes too (Freddie Washington, Verdine White, Bobby Vega and others). All the best - keep the funk alive!! Edited May 10, 2008 by Lo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "secret" of course is that it's easier to play it with one finger - I've been meaning to put a full playalong vid of Grapevine up there...

Watched a load of your vids last night and I'm very impressed as they include many of the tracks in my 'repertoire'. I noticed you seem to use a lot of open strings in your playing whereas I prefer the fretted equivalent. Are open strings the proper approach for motown-type music? I'm working my way through the Standing In The Shadows Of Motown book tabbing out songs as I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
