Anything by Donald "Duck" Dunn, is classic and very innovating, and also by James Brown`s player is too.
The Motown guy, I agree , was superb, and I do not know his name either.
The biggest problem I arrive at in teaching, is that all the pupils seem to want to be Flea, and organise their posturing before anything else , including theory.
Which is why I had my little nick at the Kiss bass player, after watching "Rock School".
I agree with you about the Motown stuff though,what people need to understand about the instrument in the sixties, was that it was so new, and any song in which you could hear a memorable bass line, played by a genuine innovative musician, should be in a rock and pop hall of fame.
"Soul Man", does that bass line sit or what?
Another topic that occured to me, was that in some cases, the bass leads the drums and vice versa, now, these days , with new technolodgy, it can be irrelevent, which is why the Artic Monkeys and Nizlopi, playing naturally are so important for the future of genuine music skills.

My mate was explaining how it was done, and I sort of glazed over:blink:
He recently created a twelve string sound whilst useing a Les Paul for me, so I imagine it is the said beastie board you mentioned.
I hate any effects boards in my way so much, that the bass head I use has compression built in, to avoid extra wires.
This in fact brings me to another none cableing issue, I am reliably informed , that the guy from Muse, has his effects pedals installed into his guitar, and a switching system to go between them, it must weigh a ton!
It is amusing about the White Stripes bassline though, I have taught it many a time, and tried to explain my way out of why I should not be teaching it, I now have an excuse! Thanks Kev.

Dry Cleaner From Des Moines (Jaco Pastorius, from Joni Mitchell's 'Mingus' Edit: but the live version on Shadows & Light is better...)
Refuge Of the Road (Jaco again, Joni's 'Hejira')
Kansas City Milkman (Mark King, Level 42 'True Colours')
Red Barchetta (Geddy Lee, Rush)
Middle Englad Cross (Me - cheeky, I know -: Stryngs 'Love and Other Vices'... unreleased, demo, hence abrupt end. Thought I'd throw it in 'cos I'm rather pleased with it.)
And tons of other stuff I can't recall right now...<br><br>Post edited by: Marshy, at: 2006/02/23 21:03

It was an Electro Harmonix POG I think
Certainly what he was using on Blue Orchid and it will also do the Seven Nation Army sound
Take a look at www.ehx.com
