It is Stevie Wonder on a keyboard bass. Bass Player did a full transcription for electric bass. IIRC, Bryan Bellar did the dots. Peter Cetera is on the cover (Dec. 2007).
the dots, yeah. i have that issue somewhere in a box, should dig it out. the bass on " isn't she lovely " is a blast to play. keyboard, too, i think. he's the king on those keys.
He's one of the greats on synth bass... In the '80s, there was also- > Gregg Phillinganes (check out the "We Can Work It Out" cover by Chaka Khan. Bass Player may have transcribed this one, too) > Hawk Wolinski from Rufus > Michael Omartian ("Boogie Down" by Al Jarreau, I think). > David Frank of The System > Bernie Worrell of P-Funk > Robbie Buchanan > David Foster > Mike Boddicker "Ya Mo B There" is another cool synth bass tune. Pretty sure one of the above played it.
