@msoileau83 she used thomastik flats ...IMHO u can tell who it is between her, jamerson, an babbitt by the tone...all of them used flats but carol was more precise and her sound had a leading edge to it the other 2 didn't have due to the pick and thomastiks. babbit was a master of hooks, and jamerson...well..like hendrix he was from another planet...and he rarely played on the 2....all great players.

@PeteZuranbeer Proof? Look, I don't buy it. The bass on "I Was Made To Love Her" sounds like it was played with fingers, not a pick...

@0428mar According to Stevie it was Carol that played it and wrote the part.

OK, as an official worshipper at the musical shrine of Joe Pass jazz guitar playing, I am happily shocked and amazed that I have not heard this before. I took classes with John Pisano in the late 1970's and loved Joe before I knew John had played with him for years. Carol, I am in awe of your cool sounds and funky lines - and jammin' with JP hip.
Well, it's not. Some of the funkiest bass lines in the '60's were layed down by her. Best example is Stevie Wonder - "I Was Made To Love Her". I started playing bass in soul bands in the late '60's and it took me a long time to get over the realization that I had been "OUTFUNKED" by a white girl.
