PapillonIrl Posted August 7, 2009 Share 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.

PapillonIrl Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted August 8, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
