Maxwell - Sumthin' Sumthin'
Bass line always makes me repeat "That's just a SICK groove!"
Any opinions on what bass is being used for the track?
sho nuff sick groove ! I found this 1997 live clip from the Chris Rock show.. this guy looks like he is playin a MusicMan stingray ? Hard to tell about the recording though....
I talked about it with KJung a little and he guesses it's more in the modern jazz area (e.g., non-wenge neck MTD, or something with soapbars). I think he's right. Whatever it is, it smokes. I guess an active jazz with a set of hum-canceling with the neck favored a touch and stainless steel strings would do it well.
I played my (passive) DJ5 like that all this weekend (which I've never done before) and have been amazed by the versatility of that bass. Those Aeros smoke!
Might be the best bass solo ever...
