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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
