I can appreciate our heartfelt respect for Louis "Thunder Thumbs" Johnson. I was fortunate enough to the The Brothers Johnson live twice back in 1978/1979. THey were awesome and no bass player I've seen since can do what he could do.
This has been the greatest minute and 15 seconds of my life. For the rest of my days I will only have sex if this music is on a continuous loop in the background
Hey---You have pictures of most of my bass heroes! Nice job. I also play a Stingray 5 HH after playing mostly Precisions and Jazz for over 40 years. Louis Johnson is hard to beat!
Skip the boutique basses, all you need is a 3 bass collection, the tried and true holy grail...(in my own personal favorite order) #1Musicman StingRay Bass(Plucker,popper,slapper,and finger styler, Chic(Bernard Edwards).#2FenderJazz (pocketfiller,versatile,bluecollar)#3FenderPrecision(standalone tone,universal).Back to the video, that was something you learn and play to impress folks! Thanks for the lesson!
why would you call this slap solo FENDER BASS and have a picture of a MUSICMAN BASS ?
