Davide Romani & Tim Allen: Two Bassists in Change.

[Dr. Cheese]

I am happy to see two great players, who helped me fall in love with the bass guitar, get some recognition.

I remember Change, they filled the same niche as cats like Frankie Beverly and Maze for chill R&B for me, especially after Luther.

They recorded some killer Funk and Dance tracks too. This is a great track I would have picked for the video:



I don’t know who played on it. It might be Terry Lewis, I think this is from the album he and Jimmy Jam produced.

It was back in the early Eighties, so he used a phase shifter or flanger. You could probably get that with an octave pedal.

I listened again twice and I feel pretty certain he is using a phase shifter or flanger. I think he using or his too along a pluck for certain parts. The octave pedal could be cool, but it would not be the same sound.

I have an octave pedal. I think it's more of a flanger. I have a couple Zoom pedals. I'll see if they have that sound or close to it.

Ok, I just checked my Zoom B2 pedal. It is a Flanger.
