A couple of Jazz Funk grooves. The first is kind of mellow and the second is sweaty.... The Crusaders (From Free As The Wind) Sweet 'N' Sour Feel It
Bassist: Robert 'Pops' Popswell
The tracks above are only 128K. I didn't have as much storage space as I do now when I ripped that disc. I will have to redo at some point. And, here some more from Maxayn showing some of that Sly vibe that Billy Low mentioned.... Maxayn (From Bail Out For Fun!) Moon Funk Fun Trying For Days (This is a remake of the original from their first release. Personally, I like the original better but that's just me...)
Bassist: Moon Funk and Trying For Days sound like keyboard bass to me. I am gonna guess that the bassist on Fun is Billy Rich.

Louis Johnson on bass:
"Teaser" - http://www.zshare.net/audio/61738871c928808a/
"The Real Thing" - http://www.zshare.net/audio/61739069cf79fe73/

After Howard, Jeffrey and Jody left the group Shalamar got funky! Well, a little bit at least.  Who remembers these and how many of you are McDonald's men?  Shalamar Games (They bit off a lot of Cameo on this one...) Circumstantial Evidence (They copped the Minneapolis vibe here...) Circumstantial Evidence (Extended Version)
Keyboard bass on these.....

Here's one from the 80's that has more of a 70's feel in my opinion.... Micowave Instant Replay
Bassist: Not sure on this one. Bootsy produced it but I think this person uses a lot more thumb than the Star Child........
EDIT: After listening to this track some more, I now feel that it was Bootsy that played the bass line.....

I had a Blues band at the Beach...The Blues People. I will look you up this summer when my son and I come back for a visit. | That would be As-1. I don't know anyone in that band but there is another band like them called Forte. Dan Quackenbush is the bassist and is also very good. |
