what settings on ur bass and amp did u use? those harmonics sound great!

i can play them ok, but they don't sound as good

[Alex156]

Well, it's just a basic EQ shaped like this : ^ (the peak is on the med freqs) and using only the bridge pickup :)

[PubliusDiamond]

Where did you get this tab from? I can't seem to find a perfect one. Learning it at the moment while I wait for my fretless jazz too be delivered!

[Alex156]

This is a pretty old vid... i don't play it this way anymore ;) i'll maybe make another version if i have enough time :)

[alecbass1]

how long have you been playing

[Alex156]

For less than 2years, atm. But i couldn't "train" hard since a year, bc of the university...

Why does everyone always ask for TAB? If you want to become better, ESPECIALLY at bass, you need to use your ear. Listen to it and figure it out.

Excellent job !

[milhouseable]

im sorry but this is total shit. i could do better and i dont even pay bass. im a drummer and im in my citys jazz band. the bass part was nothing like this. keep playing tho and you may get better

[JacobsBassWorld]

:D as soon as i get these harmonics figured out i'd love to do this one!

my highschool jazz band did a rendition of this last year :)

i love the bass and the tone!

[funnyduck]

i have always been too afraid to post this comment for myself. tabs are an easy cheat, a quick fix, but in the long run they damage your ability to play by ear. you're cool.

Exsacly! I cant understand it lol... I think everyone should learn Motown songs by ear... that teaches you wher all the notes are what u can hear. also like jaco said learn as many melodys as poss. when u can scat ur awsomE

r.i.p Jaco and Joe x
