This is one of the best bass performances ever captured in the history of rock IMO

So Jamerson-esque. Love this

Yep....

And I thought Peg was ridiculous. Bass solo with Steely Dan accompanying him. Mr. Rainey's feel and phrasing are unbelievable. A master

Chuck is a good friend and mentor of mine.The King of Groove.

How did you isolate this? Also do green earrings.

I've got this somewhere.. ending up adding a muted guitar overdubbing the bass, sort of a Kid Charlemagne meets Peter Gunn (speaking of which you need to hear the arrangement of Peter Gunn on Mancini's 1975 album, Symphonic Soul ft. the great Abraham Laboriel). Back to this song though, I'd also like to separate the bass on the extended version - everyone just goes for it for another 3mins or so at the end :)

Did chuck play it with a pic

Where did this come from

This sounds like it was isolated using AI software, no? There are little glitches sometimes, at least to my ear

It almost sounds like he is using a pick..

Perhaps his nails were long + low action. He uses the slap & pop technique in some parts, so he's not using a pick.

Interesting! In parts it does sound like a pick. It is possible to get a slap type sound with a pick if you pull up hard and down hard. I’m not sure.

Surely these lines weren’t written out for the session. No arranger would come up with this complexity. (Am I wrong?). I’m trying to learn this for a tribute band and the dots are insane.

Judging by tone, I think Chuck thumped this out with Flatwound strings.

Chuck Rainey and Bernard Purdie played together on Aretha Franklins Young Gifted and Black. Just learn from them.

Total Chuck fan. Only thing I would say and not his fault at all, but he was always way down in the mix 😮
