Barking Spiders Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Viz Prince does anyone here think of him as funk? OK he did some outright funk on his earlier albums but from Purple Rain his output was too eclectic what with rockers, pop, ballads,..

I don't even know where to begin, you might find some of it bordering on rock, RnB orJazz but the funk is a core element with the purple one. Try the following: Dear Mr. Man, Stare, Let's Work, Musicology, Sticky Like Glue, Black Sweat, Here Eye Come. Stunning thread (opened my eyes and ears to new avenues), thank you to all, nobody's posted anything bad. I'll just leave this here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Another one for the list... 17 mins long... but with that groove it doesn't feel like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterT Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 If funk had a face, it'd be Bernie's. From about 7,20 on this vid... (ps, I've never seen a bass player lick his fingers to play either... his own fingers I mean, cos licking Bernie's would be a whole new chapter). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To quote from an original lyric of Mr Bowie's; that is indeed a funky little boat race. Not being one for finger food, I have overlooked the latter half of your comment for my sanity's sake.

(ps, I've never seen a bass player lick his fingers to play either... his own fingers I mean, cos licking Bernie's would be a whole new chapter). Really enjoyed this. The bassist kicks his filter pedal on to engage it for the high notes and then off again when he's returning to the low notes. Is there an easy way of setting up your board so that the filter only 'kicks in' for the high notes. I think most filters can be attuned for sensitivity i.e. how how hard you're digging in but I've not come across any that have a pitch cut off? PS I'm going to need to spend some quality time on this thread, I can see there are some great clips posted here!
