[eva5255]

Talent beyond measure.

[Moraito]

Where is the bass???

[livegigvideo1]

@Moraito what do you mean, "where's the bass"?

[bboyspots]

@livegigvideo1 it's in the song if you use ur ear ;) also happens to be the guy on the far right.....

[frontmann7]

@livegigvideo1 i think he means the bass is practically silenced! at least I do! no matter anyway, it sounds to me like a "minus one" record, and i am bassist! LOL

[Moraito]

@livegigvideo1 I mean, what's up with the bass sound level!

[123cito]

@Moraito yes - the bass is to low . bad mix with frequencies.... drums good, keyboards also bit to low.. its a Drum'n Sax mix ;))

[woosailor]

@Moraito I think he was adjusting his shoulder strap

[passionbass]

@Moraito >>>>>>>>>>>

[elphantasimo]

@Moraito seriously what do u mean. "where is the bass"

[dadduorp]

@Moraito

I know what you mean. Sounds like the bassist was holding off until the main groove kicked in...and then nothing!? This tune begs for a solid, heavy bottom and it just wasn't happening here.

[eldercurt53]

@dadduorp You're right! This song's funk element really needed more bass. I thought it was the recording but I can hear the bass drum loud and clear

[bastognebulldogs]

This was the warm-up music for my High School basketball team......perfect.

[eai1911]

Perry Hughes (guitar), Carl Holmes (bass), Gerard Gibbs (keys) all Detroit musicians talk about that on Dateline next you run a special about Detroit.

[saxophonejack]

[elovesmika]
