Another bass song by the legendary Marcus Miller. What can I say... hard to keep up with, fast, groovy and solid. Can’t play it flawless but oh well. Only Marcus can I guess :-) And I focussed on the melody part and skipped...

Tom Brown’s Grip your Hips and Move is a classic. Only one can play this really PHAT bass line and that’s of course the great Sekou Bunch. You have to de-tune your E-string to D to play this piece. Phat and Funky!!

Funny Bone - Chic
One of the grooviest songs Chic made in their history... Funny Bone. It looks as a simple bassline but it’s harder to play then you might think. It’s not about the speed in this one, it’s about the groove and tightness!...

We Supply - Stanley Clarke/Louis Johnson
We Supply... from the album ‘Rock, Pebbles and Sands’, a lot of bass overdubs in this song but I am trying to play all of them (as if I can :-)) Hard to get from the fills into the groove again. Typical MusicMan Sabre...
