Artist – The Jackson 5
Electric Bass – Wilton Felder
Level – Beginner/intermediate
This transcription covers one of the classic Jackson 5 lines, featuring the great bass (and sax!) player Wilton Felder! ABC is one of the classic Jackson 5 lines (along with I Want You Back, Dancing Machine and I’ll be there among others) and a great example of how you can build a line around the major scale. Little details to pay attention to include the little slides in the main groove and those 3/4 bars at the end of the choruses.
The signal chain on the playthrough was P-Bass (tone rolled on 30%) – Cali76 compressor – Audient interface – Garageband (platinumverb plugin).
