AndyTravis Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 It is very MJ, but has a bit of a dirty loops feel going on - with a bit less jazz about it. very lovely - if only I could find a band/singer like that so I could make a really bad job of the bass parts. 2 Quote

Expand Well it’s the keyboard player / singer from Dirty Loops....so that might be why. It’s kind of Dirty Loops Lite isn’t it?! Quote

Downunderwonder Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Not so much epic bass sound as epic forward in mix bass. Quote

Expand I always feel that if you've got a bass player who plays nowt but un-syncopated straightforward root/fifth type stuff it's best to use them for feel in the background somewhere. But if you've got a seriously good bass player you might as well let 'em shine as they'll invariably add something good to the band. I feel that far too many bass players have a serious downer on bassists who are a bit virtuoso; those good players are the ones who advance the instrument, those playing naught but derderderder single eighth notes not so much! 1 Quote

Expand Ah yes....bass guitar....the only musical instrument that attracts derision should you try and improve! lol 🤣 There's a place for both simple lines and for more complex ones. Back to the topic....I like the bass tone, his playing and the fact that you can hear it in the mix. For me it adds to the track. 1 Quote

However, the way he appeared in the video looked a bit like he was floating around. A bit like these Chinese officials inspecting a road some years ago: 1 Quote

stevie Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Dunno so much about the bass sound but the playing was absolute quality. It doesn't get any tighter than that. Loved it. Quote
