Don't think this has been posted yet:



Here's a 'live' version from Soul Train which opens with the bass man playing the riff with a pick. Faster than the original but the suits & dancing are worth a look, lol:

I always loved that opening; one of the few numbers where I might use a pick.

thought I'd post this as I'm playing this choon to death at the moment (well it sounds like I'm killing it )

...but I'm not sure the slap part in the middle is correct....my technique seems a little tame by Mr J's stds's..maybe I should get a baseball bat on them strings

loved the Boz Scaggs links and the You Tube live vids.

If that doesn't sell a P-bass, then nothing will....

Just love this to bits. This is a band in The Zone, the synergy just blows me away. Utterly magical. Zenders creativity with that bassline is awe inspiring.

[Kiwi]

And this ain't bad either. I can take or leave Jerry Barnes at the best of times but he's really putting out on this one.

I love Bootsy Baby,

I have this album on rotation in the car

Loads of great songs on it & some wicked Bootsy funk.

As Bootsy says:

[i]"Everything good is nasty,
You don't miss your P until the U S S Y is gone,

The thigh is the limit baby
Don't shoot until you see the fat of the thigh

I am the freak,
Freak of the week

Hey Bootsy hit us with that bass
I'm funkalicious baby. . ."[/i]

Lovin' these two tracks.

[wombatboter]

Excellent choice.

[Pete Academy]

Probably one of the finest funk tracks ever. Bass is simple but very effective. Guitar riff to die for.

I'll only post one more, but I'll make it a good one...



Just when you thought it was all too groovy, the chorus comes along and eats you alive.
