    3 years ago i left a comment saying how my band was covering this song, and how helpful it was to me at the time, and i wanna give a little update I was pretty new to bass when i learned this song, but the band leader wanted to cover this, and the distance by cake. Me wanting to make a good impression, learned those songs through a pretty intense trial by fire, but the band ended up disolving before our first gig. Members came and went, couldnt schedule practice, usual band shenanigans About a year after that i joined a punk band as their first bassist, and not long after we got a second bassist. after making, practicing, and scrapping a lot of songs, we have our very first gig coming up early in july, and i couldnt be more excited This video in a way lead me to be a pretty decent bassist about to break into a somewhat large scene in Charlotte NC

    You play it in a slightly higher register, but I actually prefer this, since it makes it easier to pick up the notes. Plus, the overall feel is right and the notes appear to be very accurate. It is the best bass transcription I've seen for this song. Good job.

Although i personally play it on a five string amd play where it sits on the d# on the lower octave and the horn riff i play with a lower octave. But yeah brilliant best tabs in terms of which notes are right.

    Merci pour cette vidéo incroyable qui nous fait percevoir des choses dont on ne se rend pas bien compte lorsqu'on écoute le morceau tout seul. Par exemple, comment vers la fin du morceau, la ligne de basse alterne entre suivre son rythme à elle puis rejoindre les cuivres, puis revenir à son rythme à elle, puis de nouveau suivre les cuivres. En écoute "normale", on n'entend quasiment que la section de cuivres à ce moment là et on ne se rend pas compte de tout le jeu de la basse! Merci beaucoup pour cette superbe découverte. PS : Superstition, peut être LE meilleur morceau de funk de tous les temps, un pur chef d'oeuvre.

    a student gets a bass lesson and hes taught how to play notes on the first 2 strings then the teacher says "ok next week i'll teach you how to play with the other 2 strings". a week later the teacher then calls the student and asks when hes coming in for the lesson and the student replies "sorry, i forgot to tell you i cant come in today coz i have a gig".

    You need to tune down a half step for this song. Then you can play it properly
