PapillonIrl Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Big influence on my guitar playing, and one of the reasons I picked up a bass in the first place. Have been revisiting some of the tracks that caught my attention in my late teens tonight and realised I have no idea who played bass on these albums ? Specifically 'Curtis', 'Roots' and the 'Superfly' soundtrack. My dream is to somehow get away with having a function band that had 1/3 Curtis songs in a set . Extra bonus points to whoever knows how that warm fuzz was achieved on the likes of 'Beautiful brother of mine' etc. [url="http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Beautiful_Brother_Of_Mine_LP_Version_/21230699"]http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Beaut...rsion_/21230699[/url] Gotta love that percussion player too...

Both IME have sounds alot harsher than what ended up on record. Check this out: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9nwcpGZE6A"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9nwcpGZE6A[/url] Groove Quote
PapillonIrl Posted August 7, 2009 Author Posted August 7, 2009 Apparently it was one of these ... [url="http://www.fretbase.com/blog/tag/maestro-bass-brassmaster/"]http://www.fretbase.com/blog/tag/maestro-bass-brassmaster/[/url] This would make sense given what was available at the time... Here's another example of the sound: [url="http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/_Don_t_Worry_If_There_s_A_Hell_Below_We_re_All_Going_To_Go/223424"]http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/_Don_...ng_To_Go/223424[/url] Quote
Cat Burrito Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Lucky Scott is da bomb, as the cool kids would say! Quote
The Funk Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I heard it was a blown speaker as well. That fuzz on [i](Don't Worry) If There's A Hell Below, We're All Gonna Go[/i] is immense. Quote
