You really captured the sound and feel of Jamerson here. Are you the guy who stole Jamerson's fender precision bass shortly before his death? It sounds like he's playing through you.
Regarding JJ and CK: Harry Weinger works for _Universal_ and has access to Motown master tapes. Weinger takes Slutsky seriously as a researcher. Is Weinger's only source for JJ on bass on SW's "I Made To Love Her" Slutsky? Is Slutsky's story that Benjamin's nickname being heard on the master of it proves that _Jamerson_ was present a reasonable story? Could Kaye and Benjamin have recorded together in LA, for instance? Who says Benjamin didn't session in LA? Slutsky, who never met JJ or BB?
man, I red the name of larry graham as one of your influences, why don't you post one of his early gems? (I know it's hard to switch from THAT hook to THAT thumb!!!) I recently listened to sly's 1967 "a whole new thing" and there are some breathtaking basslines such as "if this room could talk" or "dog"... how I guess to hear these riffs directly from yer f-u-n-k machine!
and u actually haave a jamerson bass!!!!

well Precision bass worked just fine for James Jamerson. Geddy Lee uses a Jazz bass, and that works for him.
people use what works for them. and those two examples are/were some of the best bass players.

So Jamerson went around with the Four Tops playing Live? I'm sure someone had replaced him.
