Bart Funk Bass Posted December 16, 2022 Author Posted December 16, 2022 This bass line is not exactly the first slap bass in history. Larry played the low notes in his traditional way. In later years he played standard thump/pluck. I tried to imitate this technique in this recording. The same technique was used by Jamareo Artis in Bruno Mars' "Treasure". 2 Quote

Bart Funk Bass Posted January 7, 2023 Author Posted January 7, 2023 There was always a debate if the two high notes are D and C natural or D and C#. As I looked through the comments on YouTube, a lot of people pointed out to other bass players that they played it wrong. Recently, I’ve subscribed to Moises app which uses AI to isolate an instrument track from a song. It’s a great tool and works well unless the frequencies collide. For instance, it doesn’t work well with a slap bass line as it recognizes the plucked notes as a guitar. However, it works great with standard low register basslines. It turns out that David "Hooks” Williams played D and C natural. There are a lot of publications that got it wrong. One of them is “The Funkmasters - The Great James Brown Rhythm Sections 1960-1973: For Guitar, Bass and Drums” which I treated like a bible. Yesterday, I also wrote a comment on Stuart Clayton’s video where he teaches this song. He also got it wrong and responded on my comment: “Yes, you're right, I did the same thing with Moises recently. Oops.”. Funny how an app can change our perspective what we're used to. 4 Quote
