BottomEndian Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Anybody know who's responsible for the awesome bassness on Diana Ross's "I'm Still Waiting"? Wikipedia says "assorted LA musicians", so fat lot of good that is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The LA bass players I know of are Wilton Felder, Tony Newton and Carol Kaye. There were probably more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Max Bennett, Michael Henderson are two more, I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Cook Williams Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Sounds very much like John Paul Jones' excellent style, but I know he probably would not have been playing LA sessions at that time! but no doubt he had influenced plenty of other great bassists!

lowdown Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 It seems the track in question was recorded at 'Hitsville USA' in 1970. That's before Motown moved it's headquarters over to LA in 1972. So the Bassist could be Bob Babbitt or Jamerson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't claim it (although he did record with her in 70 and 71). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I thought would have opened the door for Carol Kaye to claim it was her. ** Edited April 2 by lowdown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I'd say it was James Jamerson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskwave Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Late Hitsville, ie 71 was I think Bob Babbitt, By then Jamerson was on the wain for all the reasons Im not going to rake over again here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
