Artist – The Emotions
Electric Bass – Verdine White
Difficulty – Beginner/Intermediate
A Disco classic for you here, and a bass line that is deceptively simple until you get into the details. The basics of the line are simple enough to get down with a little time, and once you’ve got the meat of the groove, you can then focus on details like the different approach methods (scalar, chromatic etc.) nailed down and in the right place. If you’re playing this live, you can mix and match the vocabulary so you’re not consistently playing exactly the same thing, keeping things interesting while maintaining the integrity of the song!
Signal chain for this track was P bass (tone rolled on 30%) -Cali76 compressor – Audient interface – Garageband (platinumverb plugin).
