timmo Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I would happily overplay if I could be as good as Jamerson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Neither 😊. Although I respect both for their contribution to popular music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying that he wasn't a great player (he obviously is), just that his lines were often busier than they needed to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had his ability too, I prefer simple understated lines with some fills. That doesn't mean just sitting on the root or anything lines can be melodic without being overly busy Edited January 28, 2016 by rjs1909 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassnut62 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Good question. Stax for me, even as a kid. I only got to like more Motown later, when I started playing bass at age of about 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbass Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Depends what the mood is...if I want polish and sparkle its Motown if I want straight up grit its Stax..both are hugely important genres... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
