C# minor bass groove

A great key for playing minor basslines you have the thundering minor third (E) in the bottom.
Listen to Freedom by Jimi Hendrix for another example of playing in this key / position.
Almost only minor pentatonic scale notes with the exception of a chromatic note G# between the F# and G# in the first bar and the 6th (A#) in the last bar.
You can also choose to look at the notes as the C#m dorian scale with the 9th omitted

Awesome groove and sound ! I have an ibanez sr700, it's far far away from a vintage jazz bass (and no money to buy a new bass :-) ) , but i'd like to have a sound like yours when playing funky fingers grooves. Do you have any tips to make my bass sound "fatter", I'm satisfied with the slaping sound, but not really when I'm "fingering". I've tried to boost bass and medium, not that bad but not really what I want. Sorry for English mistakes and greetings from Belgium !
