Graham Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I forget who recorded the bass for Christmas Wrapping, but I do remember she was a student of Marcus Miller, which I think you can really hear in her playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Smalls Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 It's definitely Bootsy, from the best Christmas album "Christmas is 4 Ever"... 2'24 is where it gets real funky.

SpaceChick Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 The Waitresses has always been my favourite Christmas song...... Now I know why!!! I don't think I've ever been so conscious of the bassline before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fasting showman Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I love everything mentioned but I'll add another favourite 'Things fall apart' by Cristina, Don Was on bass I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notable9 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 [quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1419175474' post='2637214'] Dee Murray's on 'Step Into Christmas' wins for me. [/quote] +1 Fab tune and great bass work. Hardly a great bass line per se but I love the steady bass groove on that Mariya Carey christmas tune. Reckon it's the most even set of repetitive quarter notes on anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 The bass is a stroll - and the whole thing is kinda knocked together like any band could - but I've often wondered why this isn't more popular annually as a pub rabble-rouser?

Gotta say though, that bassline by The Waitresses is a cracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
