It's been a while since I talked to him.You know him personally Wood?
I asked him if he can still play it, and he said he'd have to practice, but he could still do it. He said it would be difficult, because it wasn't planned.
Makes sense. Seems like some of the most iconic riffs are made on the spot. I hear a lot of muscians say don't be too technical with theory. Just play and go with what sounds good. Go with feel. Don't overthink stuff like flat the 3rd and all that.
"Glide" by Pleasure started off as a finger exercise. The engineer heard it and wanted to record it. So was the beginning of "Boogie Nights". When I had to learn it, I asked Keith Wilder (RIP) what the hell was Mario thinking when he came up with that opening riff, and he told me he was just practicing, and Rod Temperton wanted it on the song. That beginning is a bitch to play. It's not your typical walking bassline. When you get a chance, plug in and try it. That shit will drive you mad!Makes sense.

I have a bass player up here named monster. He does everything the same way. He’s been on a few new joints I been working on
I'm still fucked up trying to get that Barney Miller theme down with the right tempo. Seems like I trip over myself with the 1st breakdown.

Boogie Nights took me a minute to learn back in the day but I got it. A lot of local cats didn't play it correctly. It is a good finger exercise to do in every key. Another tough one was the intro to Rigor Mortis by Cameo. I got a lot of bass players fired because no one took the time to properly learn songs.
That was the 2nd Cameo song I learned.
Did you do like me? Asked yourself: "How the fuck did he come up with this fingering?" The way he bounced between strings was crazy!
I willFind out what bass guitars he has Cash.
Yeah, just take a feed from the DI (if your amp has one). I have 2 passive DI's and I just bought a Sonicake B-Factory preamp/DI.@DWBass @woodchuck
Question fellas. For my home studio, when I get my audio interface I'm thinking about connecting my Gallen-Kruger bass amp to that as well as the pedals instead of having to use a mic when using that particular amp. I can also use any plug-in from any other bass amp I wanna use. What are your thoughts on running my amp through the audio interface instead of using a mic in front of the speaker?
Okay. Yes, both my guitar amp and bass amp have one. This way I can at least cut down on some mics I need. I still need a vocal mic and a mic for the saxophone.
He said he has 27 bass guitars but his favorites are his fender jazz bass and a rickenbackerFind out what bass guitars he has Cash.
Dude will show up to the studio plug in and get busy as soon as the beat dropsHe has one hell of a collection

I'm not gonna lie after watching that Prince performance many times this week I want a guitar now....
