This post is obviously inspired by my previous one. It's useless right now to over-analyze James Jamerson's style of playing and its influence in modern music. I just want to enjoy the music. Here are several videos with isolated bass tracks played by the master himself. Bassists and musicians pay close attention. Listen and realize how you can still hear the whole song structure without the vocals, without the drums, without anything. Just bass... And you can still sing along.
Ps. Hey... And before I forget... You can shove all your 5string, 6string, 1245string active basses up your ass. The truth hurts you wannabe guitarists...
Ps1. Bear in mind that James recorded the whole "What's going on" bass line while lying on the floor and looking at the ceiling.
