Thanks. | If the "Live At The Raibow" was 1974 to 1975, the bass player was Reggie McBride who took my place after I left Stevie in the fall of 1973. Nathan probably joined Stevie around 1975. Later.

The entire show is excellent - http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com/p...ID=1915%7C6809. It's really great to know that Scott is still around, still playing, and conversing with us "lesser" bass players. | Hello. The bass player on the record studio hit version of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is Bob Babbitt who now lives in Nashville. He was also the player on Dennis Coffeys "Scorpio" with that never to be repeated super bass solo. Later.

This DVD is out of print I believe. I've got it for sale in the Stuff for Sale (not bass related) section of the forum. Just giving you a heads up if interested. |

Scott | I love what you do in the Sesame Street version of Superstition. That's how I do it now when we play it...I hope you don't mind. I was doing a lame Eb pedal kind of thing for a long time and wanted to change it up for the new band so I searched "the Tube" for some ideas. When I played your version at the next gig everyone LOVED it. |

But I half kid. Seriously, Stevie has a wicked left hand! A lot of his studio stuff is just him back in his golden solo period.
NO DISRESPECT MEANT AT ALL to the fabulous live guys he used!! :I VERY humbly bow:

| I like that scene in Standing In the Shadows of Motown where Nate Watts is saying a bass player in Detroit could not get a gig unless he could come close to playing Babbitt's line on Scorpio

Mr. Scott Edwards,we share a last name and a passion for bass...it would be wishful thinking, on my part, to ponder the possibility of us being distant relatives, but maybe you'd consider "adopting" me as one? lbvs youre SO where i want to be when i grow up musically. GODSPEED
