  • Hey John,

    Whats the song at the end, do you think you could make a short video sometime showing how you play the beginning? I have all of it that you've shown in this video down but I cant for the life of me figure out what you're doing at the start.

  • @MellowDeFretwell The name of that tune at the end is "Funk Bomb," off my 2nd CD, Pocket Fulla Nasty. It is kind of a weird line. I think there are already videos of my duo playing that tunes somewhere here on YouTube. Hope that helps! Take Care ~ Doug :)

  • WOW dude this is awesome! Good stuff bro.

  • @manny1406eb Thanks, Man. I've got a couple of free downloads available at dougjohns.bandcamp.com if you want to check them out.

  • Can anyone tell me what type Pedulla this is? The neck seems perfect (like a small scale alembic neck) and the sound is great too!

  • @ramon709 It's actually a Buzz bass - I had Mike Pedulla put frets in it years ago.... :)

  • Grooving is great, really good job guys. Steady and on time this is great stuff for people to listen to and understand that pocket & grooving is everything and adding stuff comes along.

  • Your not human.When you roll over in the middle of the night,does that bass poke you,because I know you sleep with that thing!

  • I like your version of Jerry Reeds "The Claw" in the opening of the video. Great job Doug!
