MowTown "funk" tone.

Still will that teach him how to groove like Jamerson, maybe like Jameson, which a high amount of people located in this forum may believe that is the spelling.

Wow, what forum should I go to to learn how to use phrases like "high amount" and to craft a sentence like that?

Maybe you meant something like this:

"Still, will that teach him to groove like Jamerson? No, but maybe like "Jameson" which is probably how a large percentage of the people in this forum believe his name is spelled."

IMO, if you're going to insinuate that someone else (or, in your case, a whole forum) lacks intelligence or sophistication, maybe it should be done in a manner that demonstrates to others your posession of at least one of those qualities.

Haha, you could'nt get me to play a fender if my life was at stake, Unless it's an old I mean old fender like 50-60's fender, anways what other pedals to look for?

From your public profile:

Influences and Teachers:
Ill lista few.
1).God
2).Donald "Duck" Dunn.
3).Ben Richie *My bass teacher*
4).Faimly & friends

I can't say about #3 and 4, but #1 and 2 are definitely Fender players.


(Although God's been eyeing the Laklands lately).

Does that mean he plays an Alembic with a dozen knobs and quad outputs?

 

[Bruce Lindfield]

God certainly wouldn't need any effects pedals, to get a heavenly tone!!

Want to trade for mysodom and gomorrah "Brimstone" distortion?

 

[Bluez Dawg]

Actully my teacher plays a 5 string Rouge with serious mods, like with mighty mights pick up's flatwounds and some other mods.

 

[superbassman2000]

if fender isn't your thing, why not look at a variax?

 

[Growler]

I just took a MiM Fender-P, upgraded the pickups with some Seymour Duncan QPs. Turned down the treble/mids.

and PRACTICED.

and PRACTICED.

yet still didn't sound "funky" (ala James brown)...

and PRACTICED.

Now it sounds more 70s funk. Plus funk's a great extension to my blues habit.

Touche, yes I know an accent goes above the (e). Sorry, I do not have the font. Herman, that is honestly one of the funniest replies I have seen here. My post was supposed to be light-hearted. I can see it erked you. I do not spend much time pondering my sentences on TB and your reply will not inspire me to do so either. However, I sure can appreciate your sense of humor.

Your post reminded me of a poster I saw at my fifth grader's elementary school. It has several quotes:
"you're great"
"you're appreciated"
"your important".

The last one cracked me up, who's importance was this? There are many kids at his school, so to whom was this importance ascribed.

Thanks, at leest sumwun rekognizes that I hav a cents of hughmer.

 

[Bluez Dawg]

Aye thanks guys. Right now I have a Cort artisan B4, with flatwounds on her, and shes AWSOME, lot of growl, Or she can be quite if I choose to make her sound quite.

 

[addylewis]

I know this thread isn't about Jamerson but...

if you want to know about the Motown sound - buy a PODXT, create a B-15/Flip Tob cab setting with the bass on full, the mids flat and treble at about 2 o clock then play through it with your volume and treble up FULL on the bass using the most central pickup you've got...

...you don't REALLY need flats, just some year/year and a half old rounds if flats aren't your thing!

 

[Tedintheshed]

Study James Jamerson.

A Vintage P-Bass. labella flatwounds that are never changed and an Ampeg B-15 is how you do it.

Sense most of you are aware of my purchase of the Yorkville XM200 TC with 2x10's, I want to know how to get close to the Old mo town funk sound, Like James Brown, Otis Redding, Blues Brothers, Otis And the Knights, And Areithia Franklin?


So what pedals should I buy? I'am thinking about digitech only.

 

[schmittuml]

if gods dead, hes using a guild starfire with bisonic pikcups and 14 knobs.....


hence why god's been looking at a lakland hollowbody with darkstars
