Hey TB Melvin Dunlap is quickly becoming one of my favorite bassists. How do all you all feel about him? The more i listen to his stuff the more I respect him!! In case you dont know he is the bassist from Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd st band.

I'm currently working on trying to match his tone on the hit song "Express Yourself" but I cant find what equipment he used for it so i'm just trying to get close with what I have maybe some of you who've been around longer then I have can assist me as I'm getting nowhere

I'm using
ATK300
Rotosound 77 Flatwounds
Hartke B30 amp
Digitech BP80
ODB-3
MXR M-82
I'm sure my amp isnt gonna help much, but i cant seem to get the eq on the amp or bass even close...

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on one of the most underrated bassists i can think of...

I love his playing! The live Bill Withers has been in my rotation lately. Melvin has a Facebook page and has been really accessible.

Bill Withers Live is a Classic,and Melvins' bass playing is so solid and fundemental.
