Beyonce and Justin Timberlake Bass Players

Sign in to disble this ad
I want to transcribe Beyonce's Deja-Vu and Timberlake's Rock Your Body, and I don't know who are the bass players that recorded / played their bass lines.
Do you know? I think it should be written on the CD Booklet, I don't have them.

Does somebody know?

Thanks!

Pretty sure both of those are synths. Although I did hear from someone that Janek Gwizdala plays on Beyonce's new album. Don't know how reliable that is, though.

At Rock Your Body, I agree it could be a synth, but Beyonce's Deja-Vu sounds like a real bass, and sounds very good...

So? Does nobody have the booklet?

I know that Divinity played bass on Deja-Vu with Beyonce at the BET Entertainment Awards show.

She impressed Wooten by rapping and playing at the same time. She has been a part of his tour, and she has a segment where she solos, lays down a groove, then raps and plays at the same time.

Timberlake was on the Tonight Show 10/25/06, and I believe his bassist had an Alleva-Copolo five.

According to the insert sleeve of Deja Vu, bass is by someone called Jon Jon.

Thank you, allthough I can't find anything about Jon Jon on the internet, I have at least what to write in the "Bass Player" textbox.
Thank you.

Does anyone have Timberlake's Cd sleeve?

Rock Your Body sounds very much like a sample/synth to me... and it was produced by the Neptunes, who rarely use any real instruments in their beats

have you heard the albums by N.E.R.D. (the neptunes + another dude)? the first album was recorded with a band (Spymob) and the second one pharrell, chad, and shay played most of the instruments.

So, I'll write Jon Jon at Beyonce and Bass Synth at Justin.
Thanks a lot.

yea, i have both NERD albums

i was referring to DA BEATS that they produce for other artists, such as

Britney Spears - I'm a Slave 4 U
Mystikal - Shake Your Ass
Noreaga - Nothin
Busta Rhymes - Light Your Ass on Fire
Nelly - Hot in Here

etc etc etc etc..... sooo many hit songs, not a single one with live bass (that I know of, can't say I've heard EVERY Neptunes track), and hardly any with real instruments

A dream of mine has always been to get a gig with one of these big artists who never use a real bass player and have to learn synth lines and how to make them on a live instrument.

The Madonna gig would be excellent for something like that....and would pay well too....
