Wilton Felder

Trumpet player with The Crusaders played the classic Jackson 5 I want you back bass part

That is one of the loveliest basslines in Motown. Technically got a lot going on, but so melodic and catchy it's easy to miss what a tour-de-force it is of playing. Amazing stuff.

Agree, I saw a live concert of theirs on BBC4 last week, I’d forgotten how good the bass lines on their material are.

Actually pretty surprised that many here seem to think it's a surprise that a guitar player plays bass now and then. Really, is it surprising that Hendrix or Page played bass?

 

Now, this was a surprise to me a few years back. Adele plays bass!

Blimey! 2 for 1 for some folk on here - Adele and an acoustic bass guitar 😂

Quite bodyshaming that.

Apologies... a quip - bassed(!) on the P Bass Baseball Bat Neck, 42mm v's sleeker 38mm Jazz neck, with a nod to the pounds lost, and acknowledgment of their mental health struggles... dark humour and no malice meant.
