[Quest4Redemption]

louis johnson used alembics on most of the recordings and used stingray live. pleasure did glide and their bassist used a fender jazz bass on the recording

[noto1070]

That is freaking outstanding...!!!!!

[Buhzie15]

you BEAST!!!

[mrIamapig]

Im 13 years old, im into rock and funk and this bass playing is a bit advanced for me. i think you're amazing. i could never do that stuff

[NoVacforfreshcarpets]

@mrIamapig You will be able 2 do it when you grow up a little. This song being a little difficult physically (lots of movement along the neck). Now i will never be able 2 do it... seeing as how i play drums and guitar not bass =( i do wish i played bass sometimes to play like you sgomez858

[estinky]

Your a THUMPMIESTER!

[numberonesuperman]

[megamouck]

[monkymonk6]

Great playing, picked a good oldschool funk record to play along with. Keep it real, keep it fonkay!

[Thamp17]

[nexusvision]

Darn I clicked the wrong button, lol and I hope this doesn't repost, but does anyone know if it was a Stingray used on the original recording, or a jazz?

[sgomez858]

@nexusvision Brothers johnson - Luis Johnson used Stingrays.

[01tnql]

@nexusvision song was by pleasure. nate phillips used a jazz bass

[originalkillerguitar]

@nexusvision I'll ask Nate Phillips and get back to you.

[VintageGuy1]

@butternutt2013

..dude, ditto, I agree with your comment. ...not to mention, theres nothing quite like a musicman stingray (i.e., like his) to lay good ol' fashion funk down, downtown ;-)

[sgomez858]

[slappysquirrel321]

wow that's the shit dude

[Maverick274]

There is a bit in your playing that has double stops that Victor Wooten used in the guitar battle versus Reggi Wooten, and then I can hear that Claypool bit from his solo. Cool.

[m1ndNOVA]

they all originate from this song.

[Maverick274]

Dang, sick song, I didn't know that. Apparently, it's by a band called pleasure. It Must be a very influential song for those 2 legends to build inspiration off of.

[m1ndNOVA]

Pleasure - Glide.

I found it through Les. The exact video you were talking of too.

If you want to know where he got most of his inspiration though, look into Larry Graham lol.

[jmattbassplaya90]

What kind of strings are you using in this vid? I`d definantly love to try a pair on my Ray.

[acidshark13]

This is same thing less claypool played in that one video

[sgomez858]

[adamer15]

It's usually the guitar and not the amp, But if you want a nice funky sound try lowering the bass almost all the way down and cranking up the Treble

[basskommette]

[subatom101]
