Three views of a song...

1999 - People Gotta Move (live - feat. Alain Caron on bass)
*sorry - volume is a bit low on this one. turn it up!*

This is a good one; Jerry Preston with a BC Rich Wave bass in Maceo Parker's band.. See [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABLwmYI09Lw"]Here[/url]

I've never seen it before but someone selling a Pedulla bass today in the For Sale forum posted it up as an example of their bass sound and I thought it's so good it ought to be shared in this thread...

Apologies if it's been posted before and thanks to Claf for the link!

This pops up just about every time someone gets a topic going about great funk playing - and none the worse for it either!

I love the tone he gets from the BC Rich - I've seen Maceo a few times and he always plays this. However the bass nver sounds quite like this version. . .

Have you noticed that the guitarist looks very like James Jamerson...!
