Chris Turnbull Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 3 hours ago, BabyBoyAndMyLass said: We bass players call the sound 'muted flats' as it's played with old fashioned Flatwound strings with a lump of foam stuffed under them so you get that muted sound with no sustain, That's really interesting, maybe something of a signature Brunswick sound, as heard in Jackie Wilson cuts like 'I can feel those vibrations', 'Sweetest feeling', or Tyrone Davis 'Can I change my mind'. Maybe even a late 60's 'Chicago' sound i.e. Lee Charles 'I never want to lose my sweet thing', or Shirley Wahls 'Why am I crying' which have that soft, slightly baggy finger picked bass as opposed to a lot of say Detroit or Philly records of the same period. One non-Chicago tune that springs to mind with a really cool 'muted flats' bass part is Patrinell Staten 'Little love affair' (Sepia) - the bass sound really sticks out when you hear it loud. Have posted it underneath, which I know breaks the rules because I definitely don't own the record (unfortunately) , but a great tune nonetheless and always worth enjoying:- 1

Have posted it underneath, which I know breaks the rules because I definitely don't own the record (unfortunately) , but a great tune nonetheless and always worth enjoying:- Mike has tried to show me how to quote without the embedded element but I can't suss it out... This whole bass technique thing is gonna be evident in many recordings done by the big names of the 50s and 60s, the electric bass guitar was only invented in 1951, pretty soon big names of the day such as James Jamerson (Motown) Carole Kaye (Wrecking crew legend, Beach Boys etc etc) Jo Osborne (Carpenters, Mamas and Papas etc etc) the best example of it I can recommend is Matt Munros' 'We're gonna change the world' which changed my life when I learnt it. Beach Boys 'God only knows' among others, Doobie Brothers 'Long Train runnin', Carpenters 'For all we know'...I could and would happily go on allnight. I personally among my collection have the Rickenbacker 4001S bass which has the built in muters, fender dropped them in about 1965. Yes this Patrinell Staten cut has that same technique in evidence, good spot! Bobby Garrett ICGA however does not. Give you some idea. But yeah if you play Motown in clubs as I have done most of my life you're gonna need this technique. a couple of posts up I mention a vid in which I'm showing the technique but can't make blatant plugs here as I do get paid for youtube content, the vid (Sweetest feelin) will only be there a short while. If I can gauge enough interest here at SS in music lessons I might update my own channel and make a thread here to include tutorials on stuff like Sam Dees, Bobby Garrett, Sandi Sheldon etc etc for folks who have unused bass guitars at home. Music is the gift you must give, no charge, on request, but I don't want to hammer that side of myself unless it's specifically wanted. Basically all those frustrated bass players out there, get your bass out show an interest and I'll give you 'Daytripper' to impress all your mates free! Yep good spot Chris!

hullsoul Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Was at Bidds last night & spent the majority of the night in the R n B room as there was a great atmosphere & some top notch tunes been played,the guys behind the decks had certainly been raiding there piggy banks In amongst all the biggies there was plenty of cheaper tunes filling the floor,proof they don't have to cost a kings ransom to do the biz.My post today is one of those cheaper tunes that for me was up there with the best tunes played on the night.........also think this could be played in any northern main room............just listen to those horns breaks?

Guest BabyBoyAndMyLass Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Well seeing as we're adding a few oldies now, and they're oldies for a reason, some folks are sick of hearing 'em, but let's be honest they were played out for 40 years for a reason! A Wigan oldie from me, I never went there, still in my 40s me... Had this one given to me as a 'choose any one that you want' by a divorcee in 87, I'm sure there were better ones but this one I badly wanted (the record and the divorcee, was she outtasight man! 15 years my senior, the weekend lasted till Thursday!). Some poor Shropshire guy lost way more than this in the divorce settlement, you should've seen the house! Stories like this one are the reason I post a real pic as my avatar, otherwise these tales would look like pure fantasy. Forgive me lord for I have sinned...A lot! Seeing as it's now been established that it isn't a boot here it is, just because I can...Good write up on this YT post too.
