Louis Johnson strange bass?

[Tommygunn]

He was on a thing called soul train playing with Michael McDonald.

It was a P/P bass and it was natural and reminded me a bit of a BC Rich Mockingbird but I know it wasn't one. Black headstock. Best description I can give you, it didn't show him more than 3 times.

Any ideas?

Thanks

There is a company caller Treker that made a Louis Johnson Signature bass with a double-P configuration. That's probably what it was.

Pics? I tried googling it but no luck.

I like funk, or soul or R&B... whatever. Maybe I should watch this more often.

Really! Michael Mc Donald was just called a 70's version of Michael Bolton.. I wonder who Steely Dan or The Doobie Brothers would get paired with..
I'm getting old.. I'm sure someone will call Stevie Wonder a 70's version of D'Angelo soon..
where's the respect?

peace,

Hahaha I actually edited that out of my post. What I meant was that they both have that same pinched throat way of singing that is so easy to parody on South Park. I can't stand to listen to either one of them.

I thought they were gospel or sumthin. I get the reference now tho.

They did a popular song called "Jesus is Just Alright", but that's it for the religious theme from them.

Listen real close to the lyrics of "Takin' It To The Streets"

Wow, Soul Train was on television for 35 years before it went off the air in 2005. It was an every Saturday thing at my house for years when I was a kid in the 70's. They don't make tv "or" artists like that anymore.

I have a Louis Johnson Signature from Treker and it is a JJ config. Did they make two different models?

I've always thought (few songs I've known of them) that the lyrics could be taken as gospel like or whatever.
