Daft Punk - Get Lucky - how do I ?

[3below]

How do I get towards this bass tone (Bernard Edwards influenced). My Barefaced Dubster will deliver serious quantities of bass. Any thoughts gratefully used.

Maybe start with a stingray?

Just had a quick listen with my headphones on . Sounds like a fairly generic modern five string with roundwound strings and a pretty deep tone . What kind of bass or basses do you have ? I have just had a quick playalong with with a Music Man bass I have to hand at my desk and with both humbuckers on in series mode it cops that kind of tone with no problem . Very groovy track with a great progression to play about with and take some liberties with . I will have to investigate this group in more detail .

That was my first thought - 5 string Stingray

Thanks, I will get the 5 stringer on it - Warwick Rockbass but fretless and fitted with pre-amp. I have most of my basses on TI flats. Failing that the G&L SB1 will be pressed into service.

We're doing it in our soul/funk function band. Fantastic tune, such a great groove and loads of space to improvise.

I've been using my octaver on the B at the seventh fret on the E string. Marvellous fun. It gives it an organic bass tone but the octaver and a bit of envelope filter adds a bit of synth bass grove.

Here's a very talented young man playing everything , a great cover version !!!

Looks like a Yamaha bass but the sound is synth or a combination of the two

Many thanks for these from an aging and less talented bass player. Some practice on my part is in order.
