Should this really be in the Bassists forum? If you play it at double speed, everything goes up an octave and Phil Lesh therefore becomes a guitarist. |

Kinda fun actually..you can really hear the melody in the bass-line better.
Like "condesed-soup" bass.

But I just read that on Wiki somewhere... I could be wrong.

It gave the tune a wonderfully sinuous, slinky groove, and made Chaka sound like James Ingrahm. |
