another queston: Just how do you get that 'harmonic' sound at 1:55 secs....great sound!

[jonannlou]

Hi Mate, the harmonics are on the 4th fret mark, if you need any tips - just ask :)

Cheers

[iconic558]

I'm searching now!

[iconic558]

great playing, great tune and great looking bass...what is it?!?

thanks for the post

[jonannlou]

Cheers iconic. That bass was a Status-Washburn Series 1000. The Status basses are amazing (this is about the cheapest one you can get) if you get the chance to play/own one - do it!

[nyako77]

[redhillboogie]

How about the track "Imagination" from the same LP as It's A Love Thing, its made for you.

[jonannlou]

Hi mate,

I'll check it out!

[redhillboogie]

Absolutely Wicked.

Even better than the Chant no.1 which was amazing itself. Would love to hear you play this for couple of minutes slowed down unaccompanied to appreciate your busy fingers even more. 100% !

[jonannlou]

Cheers! I find it hard to slow down sometimes! I've done a couple of slower tracks, maybe I'll have to do some more! thanks again for the comment.

Have you done any vids recently?

[clixer1]

yeah yeah yeah! you brought new life to that song, you made it hotter! BTW your settings are good. you dont have to change anything. Keep on funkin!

[jonannlou]

Hi Clixer1!

Thanks for that, was hoping a bit of slap would freshen up this classic track! Settings are ok? I must be doing something right on this old pc :O)

Cheers again mate

[dkcvv]

Good old times... I love that song !

Fantasting playing as usual.

Your MovieMaker settings are good, don't change anything.

Peace, Fred

[jonannlou]

cheers Fred - yes its a classic! Thought a bit of slap might fit :O) Wasn't sure if the WMM settings were affecting the sound - a bit thin?? Thanks again mate

[dkcvv]

No, not thin. But I can adjust the bass/treble on my headset, so... But I didn't change anything and the tone is good. Only a matter of personnal taste... I think that your tone fits the song perfectly. Give us more, mate !

[jonannlou]

great, I'm trying to get the best from what equipment I have (bass wise too!)

More to follow :O)

[newfunkboi]

NICE!!!!...when I dug out my Dazz Band cd because of your previous video, I also grabbed a Whispers one....let the mrs. know she can funk with the best of them...nice slapping by the way...."that's what she said"....way to go J...

[jonannlou]

Thanks again newfunkboi, I'll let the mrs know, she'll always be a soul/funk girl :O)

[rogerbass66]

Best regards from Italy.

Roger

[jonannlou]

Hi Roger,

Thanks alot for the comment! Check out my other vids too

[mikec393]

you look like this one is rather easy for you (rarely looking at your instrument) with a few spots where you seem to be communicating with your bass through telepathy, rather than with your hands.. so smoothe mate!

[jonannlou]

It is a quite simple bass line, so I had to funk it up a bit!! Wasn't I looking at the bass? Must be getting used to this bass now then! Only had it about a year!

Glad you enjoyed it mate
