bubinga5 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 He's one of my favourite bass players of all time, he's not very well known i guess. very groovy funk bass player for one of my favourite bands, Fantastic groove the man had. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waSM0rXDLys Played bass for many years with Maze and Frankie Beverly, as well as on the great Joy and Pain record.. He was just a fantastic edition from the start to this band. His slap and finger style. He mixes the two styles flawlessly in his playing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mBolaUzH9M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbass Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Played this brill stuff back in the day...tricky bassist to emulate.. he's very smooth, love it. Just got to thinking bout the production quality on a lot of these old tunes...clear, crisp instrumentation with amazing separation...why the heck does everything today sound like a dull mush..

SisterAbdullahX Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Agreed. Had "Back In Stride" when I were a nipper and loved his playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
