I *think* that's Byron Miller playing the bass - though it sure sounds like Stanley doing the bass solo.
Also - do I hear Bootsy on that track, and if so, is it only on vocals?
Who exactly is on "Reach For It", anyway?

Does Bootsy do a cameo appearance on vocals, or is George (or someone else) a Bootsy sound-alike?

|  | Registered User | | | | Yeah, it's Byron. One of the best bass solos ever recorded, IMHO. And one of the best sounding P-basses (That's what he played when I saw George Duke in concert back in the day.), too! There are some other great tracks on that CD.
