Jamerson used the open strings to create some unique funk lines in the flat keys - his riff that I start playing about 0:40 is just sublime when you get into it...
Tbh it's a neat trick using the open strings in Eb but you should learn how to do that in every key, I don't mean open strings in every game but being able to play the same line in every key, I'm guessing it's just a Dorian mode seeing as he was a fan of that mode
@dowsemeister Agreed,I learned to fix my bass right along with learning to play,I bought a 1993 MexiCANT jazz bass and it had a terrible neck which needed to be mucked with every few weeks,SO to avoid this I watched my buddy who owns a music store and never looked back,as of now I build basses from scrap parts and get paid to set-up other basses/geetars. BTW every bass I set-up is usually owned by a bassist to lazy to learn to fix and play the thing,So yes there is a corilation between them.
nice groove playing. would be cool though to show split-screen showing what your left hand is doing. thanks for posting and paying tribute to mr. jamerson.
