Sign in to disble this ad
I know they're there, but I can't seem to find some of those old bass solos I've seen on youtube. I'd appreciate some help. It's always interesting to see basses cutting loose in the pre-Jaco sixties.
I'll take the easy one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkKeZ1z8zGk (I'm assuming it's still the sixties. There's no date given. Tell me if it isn't, and I'll delete it.)
I thought I had another one with Bootsy playing for James Brown in Paris, but it turns out that was 1971.
Can you find any?
No uprights, no jazz.

This material might not float your boat, but it is a bass solo. Sorry that there's no video, but I doubt it would be in focus. http://www.archive.org/details/gd196...9.sbeok.flac16 |

There is also John Entwistle, Mick Hawksworth in Andromeda (OLD Andromeda) and maybe Greg Lake...

Here's a Jack solo. It's 1970, but still part of the 60s scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrTS7b028A8 |

Great solo and playing by the whole band, there's so much "air" and beautiful phrasing in Andy's solo, hard to belive he isn't even 20 years old at the time. Classic Gibson EB and Marshall tone! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FhCilozomo |

Bootsy gets the call at 7:17 (and his brother Catfish starts absolutely SMOKING at 4:21!).

EDIT: This . . . is harder than I thought it would be.
