Hereīs a seasonal offering with a great bassline; The Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping". Canīt find a video worth watching, but close your eyes and listen to the lovely notes:

Tracy Wormworth, I believe, deserves the plucking plaudits. |

| Nice. Just holds back enough to not be widdly for the sake of it. |

| Exactly what I was thinking. Any higher in the mix would have been obtrusive, too. Just right. I think I read somewhere that Tina went on to be an in-demand session player and she certainly sounds like no line is beyond her. |

Lovely bit of Jamerson:

And if you like James Jamerson's stuff this guy is well worth checking out, IMO:

| That bloke on YooToob really did sound authentic (unlike another clip of Patitucci "doing" Jamerson with nasty, pdoink-dink, strings). I wish I'd had LaBellas on my fretless, rather than the D'adds flats the tech chose. |

| Yeah, definitely sounds the part, the strings are a part of it but the style is very well studied too, dunno that I'd want to specialise that much but to sweep 3 or 4 strings with one finger is pretty impessive, gives you an idea how good Jamerson really was to do this originally |

| I didn't want to replicate Jamerson's style (can't anyway :) ) but I did want a "whump-thump" sound out of the flats and the D'ads are too bright for that. I'll report back in five years when they've oxidized a bit. |

| Jean-Paul, this chopped pork and ham is starting to get a little irritating. |

Made the mistake of putting this on my iPod...really want to learn it now!

Nothing sounds quite like a tight 3-piece IMO |
