"Hootchie Cootchie Man" (Steppenwolf) on a P&J

A classic tune written by THE Willie Dixon in 1954, Steppenwolf covered this tune in 1968. I demonstrate Gustav Moreve's great bassline on both my '69 P with flats and a Darryl Jones Lakland J with Fender rounds. The comparison is interesting.

Use headphones, as always.

Great vid! Thanks for posting.

I bookmarked your youtube page and look forward to learning several songs from it.

Also covered by Allman Brothers Band on their first album, with vocals by their bassist Berry Oakley.

Thanks for the feedback. I want other players to pick up an idea or two watching these vids.

What I'd REALLY like would be to bond for about a week with a vintage Ric 4001 with flats to compare sound! Also, I used 10 in speakers on these Steppenwolf tunes. Fifteens would be ideal.
