@fanuvbrazil we thought it was stanley clark because clark played on the reach for it album also. plus it dose not sound like a synth it sounds like a bass . he did this back in 1977 when i was in high school everybody wanted to learn that bass solo as a right of passage. along with some of the other classic bass solo's of the 70s Bob babbit- on scorpio 'Willie weeks -on everything is everything stanley clarke-school days' Ralph armstrong Every bad ass bassist in Detroit can play those solo's
@blueman2bass: I stand corrected: I always thought it was Stanley Clarke! I'm also from Detroit and been playing bass since 82! Ain't nothing like a funky bass solo!

Good stuff. A bluesy approach to soloing from a bass guitar great. Go Byron!!!
