[crocotone]

i love that 60s Precision sound... has more punch than the 50s. I guess Will Lee also played one of them, look at watch?v=iq-NWUINRaE

[kakley94]

thats a really nice bass man. i just got a brand new squire jazz bass and to be honest it sounds 10 times more phat than the real one

[themonkeyduck]

what type of strings do you use? 

[mjvicc1952]

Tight, fat and down! Again, you've got it!

[mattlowriemusic]

Gotta love that fat P Bass tone... Nice!

[b3n012]

dude awesome playing... perfect note for note... nice!!

[paoloilmonopalla94]

what settings do you use for that fat tone? nice cover :D

[bassowman]

Don't remember specific setting on the SWR preamp. I use Tomastik flatwounds that helps fattening the sound.

[Bubinga5]

im a bass player for many years and this is solid playing...great great stuff bro..this sort of bass playing is suppose to sound like people...not too many frills,, just funk

[scrubs22suchti]

jo fat this funkt

[TheIdiotsFromBris]

Amazing. The fat sound is epic too. Any chance you could tell me the tab? Cheers

[dfused44]

dude 5 out of 5...such a nice tune..im trying to learn this also

[Sanson101]

love your tone and coolness..so relaxed !!!

[arandaz]

SWEET P, if you don't mind saying, whats the year on that?

[bassowman]

Tnx! It's a 1966-er.

[PoorMichael6]

sounds great!

[Riveascor]

Man I love this song

[TayPlaysBass]

Nice...but meant to be played on a jazz...not p bass

[bassowman]

Who meant? La Pread plays a P.

[machinsky108]

this sounds FAT! :)

[mrbassman25]

meant? you could play it on a fekkin triangle if u wanted... there are no rules to how it's ''meant'' to be played....

god i cant stand snobbery .... its usually an indication of jealousy of some sort!!

great tight playing dude!

[Blyss]

Its so good to see someone play this the way its actually played...finger style. Every cover band I'ver ever seen the bass player is all slap happy and it's not a slapped lick.

[MightySaxKid]

OW!

[blunt1]

Nothing wrong with catching an open A on this tune. You can vary the main line this way. When I used to play this live I well interpreted the line. Its funk. have fun with some 16th note variations.

[Fantasmo81]

You are using no open strings, you play everything in the fifth position?!

I found this song and there is a moment with two fast 16th-notes and then two 8th-notes on the same fret... like

--xx x-x- and the first three notes are g-a-g as a hammer-on & pull-of (D-string, fret 5-7-5), the next 8th is a "d"... I try to play it on the 5. fret A-String.

Do you play this piece the same way? I find it hard to rush from fret 5, d-string to fret 5 a-string after that fast HO-PO on fret 5-7-5 d-string.

[bassowman]

Yes, I play it that way. With a little practising you will master it. Good luck!

[Purefunk4]

Real nice man! Keep on funking!

[ilrollatore89]

FUNK YEAH!

owned!

[tatianasdaddy]

hey man that was wicked you should try Happy Anniversary by little river band it would suit your style

[WeezieB69]

Very good! I enjoyed it.

[DannyMac100]

great quality, mate! i love this song, one of my favorite bass riffs ever!

[captfantastic05]

The jacket won me over! Great playing on all your vids, by the way. :)

[lightgrenades11]

it was good. but there was no slapping =( and not much improves,it want bad it was good, but you couldve done more...

[bassowman]

I just try to play as on the original: some popping, no slapping:-)

[lightgrenades11]

you sicken me...jk

[rrrock25]

This is pretty cool.

[NostalgiaBob]

AWESOME!!

[UK2AK]

I have NEVER heard a more true version than this. It was VERY well done, and the TI Flats NAILED that tone, didn't it! 5 stars only because I can't give it 10!

[Pudsy440]

Good job on a classic ... :) nice.

[WannaBeatle]

what strings are you using??? LaBella Jamerson set???

[bassowman]

Tomastik-Infeld Jazz. Flatwounds:-)

[WannaBeatle]

good boy. those are super strings. I use those too on my Ricky 4003.

see ya next time!!!

[freebop67]

Great !

I like this style of bass line .

[MikeMarino]

Oh man, I love this song!

And great playalong!

[C33Four]

Sollllllid tone.

[BadFad2008]

Tight as a nun's... whatever!  Thanks for sharing!

[funkybrezhoneg]

nice to see you back again with this funky dope

[fabibass]

perfect - Ronald La Pread was a great and underrated player

( maybe still is)

[ljocampo]

I gave this 5 stars for just your technical ability because I didn't care much for the tune, but that's just my taste. Thanks for sharing.

[xiz90]

Oh yea!

[jockoPchetB]
