FUNK Zinc - Street Level - Status Slap Bass Jam

[ramon709]

Nice and chill mate, the bassline sound a bit like the song of the Sugarhill Gang (rappers delight)!

[jonannlou]

@ramon709 Its a nice chilled funk tune, its nice to sit on the groove and have a bit of fun!

[bRaKK0]

@ramon709 maybe it could sound like good times from chic. ;)

[jpmeado1]

For those of us who uninformed, could you say a few words about the bass you are playing?

[jonannlou]

@jpmeado1 Hi, its a 1988 Status 3000 headless bass with a carbon fibre neck, pre-shaped EQ with 30-90 steel strings, effects are running through my Behringer Pro V Rack (EQ, Stereo chorus) then onto my Carlsbro Sherwood amp!

Its a great bass and incredibly easy to play and the action is second to none!

If you need to know anything else, or a little review, let me know.

[jonannlou]

@jpmeado1 new one on my latest vid!

[scaz38]

Very nice. I remember this track (1982), you've definitely improved it!

[jonannlou]

@scaz38 thanks, it was the first time I'd heard it, but I maybe some research into the band - see what other gems they've done!

Great ! I like these kind of grooves, slow funk. And, of course, I enjoyed what you make with your bass on this song !

[jonannlou]

@FIXXTHE thanks fixxthe, I try to chop and change the tempo's of what I play, and I love putting those 16th's (MK style!) into tracks, just adds so much groove. Its a simple funk track, and great to jam around on.
