  • Dude, not harping on James Jamerson, because he is the master of the motown bass sound, but the meters would roll over in their theoretical graves (although they aren't dead, thank God for small favors) if they heard you say jamerson came up with that line. The meters were the first to release that song on a record ("The Meters" 1969). Jamerson had nothing to do with it. That is all George Porter Jr.

  • Steady on - I never said JJ wrote it - of course it's a GP line, this is just JJ's take on it....

  • Humiliated again. Why do I keep coming back for more?

    Top notch stuff. Wonder what George Porter would say?

  • LOL - Jamerson will keep you coming back, he has that affect on people. I'm sure GP would smile at this one - that reminds me, I gotta put some of his wonderful stuff up here...

  • you nail it my friend:-)

  • I wish, my friend. Heh - You're in charge of nails.

see all

  • As a very well travelled DETROIT keyboardist who has been stuck doing basslines many times, I can truly appreciate your posts. They show me that I am lacking a little here and there. Thank you. btw. I have been told a few times that I have a nice Jamerson feel and I take as a compliment,

  • I like it ....... I like it alot ! And yes I get you're trying to play a Meters song how with a Jamerson feel.

  • Just in case you're confused, my last message was sent in response to a comment MarloweDK posted to you 2 years ago.

  • Ah! All that mutual musician respect, and love, going on. You're both established disciples of the low end, and us mortals are grateful for you.

  • Missing the whole new orleans feel...

  • dude that is fucking badass, favorite that shit. and give it 10 stars.
