iconic Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 not so much funk, more funky hiphop but so very simple and quite infectious.... Quote
iconic Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 how about some real slow grooving... don't get much sombre than this but with some great riffs from the great man himself Quote

silverfoxnik Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 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! Quote
