Shockwave Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hey guys. Classic track and fantastic line, But who was the bass player and what bass did he use? Any idea on the rig either? Fantastic guilty pleasure track, Pity nothing else by the girls compares! -Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a listen now and see what I think it sounds like. Edited October 30, 2008 by The Funk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockwave Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hmm, Flats or Rounds do you reckon? -Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'd guess rounds just from the fact of there being slap stuff on a few of his tunes (such as [i]Bustin' Out[/i]). It's nice to see Rick James get some props on these forums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
