Bob Babbitt bassline - Midnight Train to Georgia

[jeffkahl]

awesome! you can tell Babbitt was kinda influenced by Carol Kaye. kind of inevitable since they were both from the LA studio scene.

awesome

Flatten that B for the horn section and let 'em fly. Smooth as silk. Fantastic tone, fluid playing.

I am a novice. I thank you to the ends of the world for these videos. Better than tabs 100%. Until i am better at playing by ear, and even then, your videos will, and have been, a godsend as a learning tool.

[MrPablobass]

Great playing of a great part of a great song.

Wonderfully authentic tone too.

[STEVIEUKWONDER]

BRILLIANT

[geoffstockton]

You basscally Babbit!

[rsolman]

Auch!! great sound!!! Do you use vintage 62 fender with La Bella heavy-gauge (.052-.110) flatwound strings?

[jamersonshook]

Thanks - LaBella "1954" set is correct.

[kab0000]

Absolutely beautiful

Is this the same as the transcription as Bob did for BP magazine? Seems ab bit different at the 5th bar. Awesome by the way.

[jamersonshook]

No - this is just done by ear - there's a few differences.
