This is the definition of smooth! Wow he had the tastiest bass lines. The hook!!
-
@TricyLoveMusic Not forgetting Jaco and Entwhistle too! Jaco took Charlie Parker saxophone lines transcribed everything to bass and completely changed it, Entwhistle is severely underestimated, probably 'the' best rock bass player of all time
-
James Jamerson is one of the illest bass players that ever did it. Anyone sayin' otherwise, go off yourself, now please...

A blazed James Jamerson lying on his back in the studio playing this bass line is still better than any other bassist's best attempt at doing it sitting up and wide awake.

I was wondering if someone knew what strings does Jamerson used. I've tried the LaBella "Original 1954" flatwound strings, .052 - .110, but the tension is too high on a Precision. So, I would want a Motown sound using strings with less tension. What do you suggest ?
-
The secret to the Motown sound is to play a neglected P-bass with a warped neck, never ever change the strings, and to use one finger.

I will never understand why some You Tubers waste their time watching and spouting off about artists that they clearly don't appreciate. If Jamerson was such a "drunk" with such an "awful technique", then why are you here?? To all who continue to argue with this "Beeeann", it is obviously a waste of YOUR time, so don't bother. Instead, let's enjoy the talent and the sound of this brilliant artist who influenced a generation of other greats, and who truly was the Motown Sound.

He changed the bass game. Mr. Jamerson and Mr. Graham took the bass from minor significance to can't do without...
