Found a vid with a bass solo from Wyzard of Mothers finest. I have meet him a few times, my wife is good friends with vocalist Joyce {baby jean} Not a technical solo by any means, just a solid funk 70 style jam, with a little but of an octave pedal action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq_Z49PN0tU |

This Friday they're playing at the Summer concert series in Duluth and next Saturday at Tavern on The Bridge in Alpharetta (a tiny place). Go see them if you haven't.
My band does "Piece of the Rock" now and have tried "Baby Love" several times but none of our female singers could handle it (I wish I could sing it).

The sweet thing like I said, my wife is friends with them....so get to chill back stage with him. Harold, Wyzards brother I think {played drums with KC and the sunshine} has a band togehter called Boggie shoes. Him and I are talking about playing some gigs together soon. |

Very visceral.....house quake! Sounds great on my computer stereo too, thanks for posting that!

He doesn't do the "flash" as Victor or those guys do, just solid rhythm and funk. I did take notice on something though, watch his fret hand, he's wrapping his thumb over the top of the neck, is he using it to fret a note or does he just have long ass fingers?  |
