Glorious. Love that fill at the 5 minute mark.

Way back in 1998 I visited San Jose in California, and in a bar I saw a band with a bassist who had a '70s Jazz. When I went to have a talk with him after the gig he claimed that the bass he was using had belonged to Bernard Edwards. Of course, he could have been telling porkies, but he was a rocker and not really into funk/disco so I don't think he would have any reason to pick Bernard over any other player. My memory is a bit hazy but I think it was a sunburst with a rosewood fingerboard, blocks and binding.

Glorious playing in there, shows how some latitude in timing of an individual part helps the feel of the whole

I love this, but it has made me realise that my recording technique isn't as bad as I thought it was.  The noise and clicks in this recording are possibly even worse than mine.😲

... and the bass is so low in the mix as to be almost inaudible. Shocking..!
