Guy Pratt uses similar stuff in this song: Well, yes as it is a standard sort of groove, but the fills and runs are quite a bit different and add quite an interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How very dare you assume that person's gender! 😂 It's good to see a video where the camera shows the bassist more than any other musician. Most usually focus on the guitarist playing sod all when there's a good bass groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it’s easy to replicate and pretty standard ideas that have been executed well. The guy Pratt vid explains the techniques and ideas well for anyone inspired by this track or SEB (which I hope people are). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicbassman Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 OK, this is all very well, but what about Nick Campbell knocking this into next week with the Pomplamoose cover ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure 99.9% of people here are aware that it’s essentially pretty standard stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamg67 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Cheers for that, I love this fun stuff! Perfect after an hour wrestling with Erik Satie on the piano, and yes I know you can't get that image out of your head now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me think of a Deep Purple tour video where Ritchie Blackmore throws a bottle at the camera man for filming Ian Gillan playing some bongos during a guitar solo.

Hellzero Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I've been able to listen to it till the end. To me way better than the original, nothing fake here. What about a Vulfpeck cover ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoham Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I think I read somewhere it was Guy Pratt who played on it, though it was just a comment on YouTube or something. Does anyone know who played on it? George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNY Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I generally like Nick Campbell’s playing, although Sam Wilkes is possibly my favourite of the new breed of funky players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) A couple of years ago I saw Sam Wilkes playing at the Jazz Cafe with Lewis Louis Cole's Knower. I haven't seen many bass players with that amount of talent and ability. edit for spelling, oops Edited June 28, 2020 by chris_b 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I love everything Dua Lipa has done, just something about her music that works for me. I've only heard the first album but my wife says it's because it has a melancholic vibe and rising/falling chord patterns which I'm a sucker for. Love the bass playing on the Pomplamoose version as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen many bass players with that amount of talent and ability. Sam Wilkes is on fire here. In fact the rhythm section is pretty fabulous. Louis can certainly throw down a groove. The music won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but the musicians in the band are all top drawer players , and Genevieve Artadi on vocals is not to be underestimated. Personally I like the way the music grooves. Edited June 28, 2020 by MNY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merello Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Matty Carroll is the bass player but also the Musical Director for DL. Very talented lad. Personally, I love it, don’t care if it’s a midi line. Also love Levitate by her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
