leroydiamond Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Check this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQknxjce3_Q Its got some brass in it but i do it in a three piece and it works well. Groovy bassline and fun to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 We used to do this quite a lot. If we was just a 3 piece, then I would adapt the bassline to incorporate the clave part when there was no vocals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao4k6gNYCKs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Our R'n'B trio has recently been cooking up 'Nutbush City Limits' - works pretty well when you stick a strong, forceful bassline down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 My 3-piece plays I Got You (I Feel Good) by James Brown, and I Heard It Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye (but more like the Creedence version). Both have great bass lines IMO, but I'm on guitar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
