Nice and chill mate, the bassline sound a bit like the song of the Sugarhill Gang (rappers delight)!

@ramon709 Its a nice chilled funk tune, its nice to sit on the groove and have a bit of fun!

For those of us who uninformed, could you say a few words about the bass you are playing?

[jonannlou]

@jpmeado1 Hi, its a 1988 Status 3000 headless bass with a carbon fibre neck, pre-shaped EQ with 30-90 steel strings, effects are running through my Behringer Pro V Rack (EQ, Stereo chorus) then onto my Carlsbro Sherwood amp!

Its a great bass and incredibly easy to play and the action is second to none!

If you need to know anything else, or a little review, let me know.

@jpmeado1 new one on my latest vid!

Very nice. I remember this track (1982), you've definitely improved it!

[jonannlou]

@scaz38 thanks, it was the first time I'd heard it, but I maybe some research into the band - see what other gems they've done!

@ramon709 maybe it could sound like good times from chic. ;)
