Even though it's old school, it is so refreshing to hear some good funk. I'm working on putting together something like this in the future. Thanks for that one Jauqo.

Al Caldwell won't even wear his Hillbilly hat anymore, because he knows he can't compete with T-Bris!! What?! What?!  Quote: |

Figured this might be a perfect place to pose a question to my fellow bass players...
Does anyone know who Thee Ram Jam really is? I'm quickly becoming obsessed with figuring out his identity. I've heard its Victor Wooten and also heard it might be Bootsy. |

| | | sorry about that 
i think i read basses and thought it was bassist...yikes. been a long day. |
10-20-2010, 06:45 PM
| | | | not to be a jerk, but i don't think bootsy could play that way. bootsy is all about funk and thee ram jam is sort of like victor style.
don't get me wrong bootsy is great, but this is some next level stuff and bootsy is old school. |

It makes since that he'd be doing this to show that.. well, he can play something other than old school funk.

in reality, I'd place my money on some guy who is good at playing bass that nobody has ever heard of because he hides his face and doesn't tell anyone his name |

How 'bout that pretty Watson bass though?!? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
