Let's Work Bass Lesson

NOTE: There is a 15 second delay between the first run and the explanation. Just didn't have the mental fortitude to render the video yet again. :-)

This is especially dedicated to the person who insisted I wasn't actually playing the song in a previous video.

How I Made the Track and Video:
Bass Direct into Presonus Firepod
Drums: Reason 4.0
Sony Vegas 7.0

Kool take, Ooh and Andre was still his bassist, Brown Mark joined the ranks on the 1999 album

by then Dez & Andre left the group

@guitargary you are correct. As much of a fan as I am I'm almost embarrassed to have made that statement ;-) hey, I was just getting over the flu. (I do believe that it was Prince himself who played the line on the record though.)

[Blyss]

@guitargary actually , nope. Mark DID make his debut on Controversy. Still think it was Prince who played the line :-)

This is a nice interpretation of this song.. I play it slightly different but I like your way. Awesomeness!

[Blyss]

@NikWestBass Right on, Nik. I enjoy your work.

Well good try, but there are no octaves on that back side, so before you give a lesson , listen to it again yourself, nice bass ......, And yes that was Prince playing that bass line, He did it all with Dr. Fink , until 1999........

[Blyss]

@ilovebasses there are when I play it.That's the one of the wonderful qualities of music, its ability to be interpreted in different ways by different musicians.
