57pbass Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 The scenario: You are looking for a back up band for your project. If you had to choose between: Motown "Funk Brothers" ( Jamerson on Bass) or The Stax / Volt Records Booker T and the MG's band.( Duck Dunn on Bass ) www.danielprine.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 As a native Motownite of course I voted for Motown. I will say the Stax crew kicked it too... Man, that was one of the toughest questions asked in a poll in a long time.

BenLoy Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I'd kill all of 'em, sew 'em together, and bring them back to life with a big tesla coil. (FRRRRRZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!)

g. Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Jamerson over Dunn, for me. The rest of the band, I don't know... Actually though, I was thinking the JBs might get me off ; } ...Bootsy? Well, while I'm there, why not P-Funk? Or TOP, or ... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Dalton Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I voted for the Funk Brothers but I'd actually rather have Bob Babbitt on bass than James Jamerson... controversial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g. Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 How about Babbit, standing in the shadows playing through a mic'd Carvin rig while Jamerson stands in front next to an unused Ampeg B-15? Controversial enough? ; } . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I voted for Motown, but I'd rather replace Jamerson with synth bass. How's that for controversial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g. Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Here's what I referred to, by the way. In a sidebar on page 44 of the December BassPlayer mag - titled Bob Babbitt: In Jamerson's Shadow... ...and we had Jamerson's Ampeg B-15 up there - though I actually played through a miked Carvin Pro Bass 200-15 1x15 combo .

patrick_dont_fret Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Stax--I'm living in Memphis, what can I say? I love me some Jamerson, but I'd rather have Dunn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
