hey look strange at 3:32 rythm is important!
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

Yo I know everyone's tastes are different, but for my money this is the best bass line that has ever been written, period. I love this song so much. Thanks for breaking it down

Finally, someone who isn’t playing the clavinet (keyboard) part on bass. This is the correct bass line.
This is amazing! My band is covering this song and this is the best tab I've seen!

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.

Buzzy how that simple beat in the beginning can be changed by adding bass
Man I love this! Thank you so much for sharing! So damn groovy! I just had the best workout in a long time ✊😤✊
Ive been looking for tab with that really cool fill before the slide which for some reason i could never figure out by ear for a long time and now i finially have it. 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.

Neo i remember that in my students book tooooooooo omg
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".
