Hi All,
A long time ago, Denise Lasalle released a tune called "The Cleanup Woman".
To me, it always sounded like there were two basses playing, especially evident during the intro. I've put a 35-second clip here for your review: Cleanup Woman Clip
For you veterans, and/or those with really good ears, could you please have a listen and tell me what you think? Am I hearing a guitar and a bass, both being plucked with single notes, or perhaps a piccolo bass and a "regular" bass together, or what? For whatever reason, I've never really positivly "nailed" this one. Thanks!

I think that could have been played either in the upper register of a standard tuned or possibly tenor tuned bass, or possibly on a baritone guitar/fender VI. |

anyway, stanley clarke's piccolo bass sounded to me like guitar with a deep tone, and played percussively. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
