Request Mr Big Stuff by Jean Knight (Stax)

Looking for the bridge part

I already PM'd this but, for the benefit of others, here is what I came up
with. There are really only two bass parts to the song: the main riff and
the bridge.

Bass score/tab:

Here's the MIDI file so you can hear it and compare it:

I tweaked the tempo in the MIDI file to match the Jean Knight tempo
(varies between 181 and 190 bpm) so the two can be compared side
by side. I compared the two files (MIDI and audio) side by side to try
to best identify the notes in the bridge. It was kind of challenging as
the timing gets odd near the end (but it still sounds friggen cool in my
opinion). Get the score/tab and play along to the MIDI file (or the
original Jean Knight hit) and see how it goes.

Thanks for doing this! Killer song that shows a simple repetetive bassline can be very very funky

Good effort guys for putting that up. The rhythm is wrong though it is 16th boogaloo motown groove in 16th with a funk bass drum feel. When I get the chance to do it I will post it up here for you. The notes are correct.

I agree and wish their was more interest in this type of playing around here....... Too much interest in flash instead of simple deep groove
