Pete Academy Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I'm playing a wedding on Saturday with a funk band. We don't play very often these days, but we need to learn a few new songs especially for the occasion. One of them is Cosmic Girl by Jamiroquai, which I've played before. The other is this one, which I haven't. I can't remember the original song this was taken from, but this has got to be one of the best bass parts ever, and the song is based around it.

thisnameistaken Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Sounds a bit like this: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cos9ExMIELU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cos9ExMIELU[/url] Which has been sampled and re-recorded to death.

steve-soar Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Just played along to this, good God, this kind of feel is golden. My bottom lip went underneath my top teeth, while I was jamming to it, then I remembered my funk tool kit, "In case of Emergency, Don't give a funk", all facial expressions returned to normal.

Apparently it was Curtis McTeer on their early '70s releases. Weird that we don't know such an influential bassist isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Bizarre, that b-line is ingrained into my subconscious and yet I had no idea where it originated from - fantastic line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
