Fatback Band

[Pete Academy]

This is 'Wicki Wacki' by the Fatback Band. Apologies to those already familiar with it, but it's an amazing bass part, and the way it's locked with the drums is incredible.

I forget the Aquarium Dream track but it was one of my faves of all time. I have the 12" single and wore it out playing to it.

This is a great song.

There was a post on here a few weeks' ago where someone suggested funk basslines. It's not as easy as that. Like any form of music, you have to immerse yourself in it to play it properly.
