    Chic bassist: Bernard Edwards, so influential, mostly because a lot of hip-hop “borrowed” things from Chic in the early days. (No electronic samplers, they hired studio guys to play the sections they wanted on repeat for the entire song… not easy (original “Rappers Delight” recording ran about 15 minutes! Imagine playing the same groove perfectly over and over for 15 minutes!)

    • @gregcoates4281
      @gregcoates4281 2 роки тому +1

      Exactly-a young Doug Wimbish-another of my favorite players-tracked the bass on that Sugar Hill Gang cut,great that they took the time to record their music rather than loop tape or record vinyl instrumental passages and cut the vocals on top.

    Good god this guy is GOOD! His phrasing and voice is absolutely stunning. You can hear a little bit of everybody’s he’s influenced by but he’s made it his own. This guy is on a high level!

  • @resocujr
    @resocujr 2 місяці тому

    I bought one in April of 1978, a late '77 model, natural with a maple neck and black pick guard and a B005000 serial number. I paid $477.00 for it, a load of money back then, especially when I was only making $2.35/hr as a twenty year old kid. I've played it all these years, yet it's still in about 95% condition, and in fact, only got it's first ding about four years ago. It sounds and plays like butter. A definite keeper!

    My introduction to the ‘Ray was Tom Hamilton, who sported one for the recording of the Live Bootleg dates, and I believe for tracks on Draw The Line. I didn’t own my first one until the early 2k’s, when I traded my 4003 for one. They’re such beasts, and a must-have for most bass players…IMHO.

    That looks almost identical to my '92 stingray. I love the oval pick guard. I'm amazed the mutes are still on, mine only lasted until about '95 :) Such a wonderful bass to play.

    I have owned this very same bass since I bought it used in exc. cond. in 1979 or 1980. I didn't have the money for a new one, and the only used one they had was this ugly brown color. So I traded by 60s Fender JB for it, plus $300. I had previously paid just $300 for the JB, so $600 total investment. It's still a great bass. Just got around to replacing the mutes. Back when it was still possible, I sent MM my original 2 band EQ and traded it for the three band, which moved the jack to the side of the bass. It weighs 11 pounds, more than any of my 5 strings weigh, so due to back problems I don't play it as much as I used to. For over 20 years, it was my only bass.

    I really enjoyed this video, even though I should not have watched it.. I've already got 3 bass guitars and don't need another one. I should not be tempted by the Stingray.
    Apparently, Bernard Edwards may have played that line from "Good Times", but it was written by John Deacon. That's a nugget for everyone convinced John ripped off Chic in the composition of "Another One Bites the Dust".

    • @Jurgen-po1ym
      @Jurgen-po1ym 2 місяці тому +1

      that is really not true! first came the famous Bass Line played by Bernard in the Chic song "GoodTimes", which was the bass than copied in "Rappers Delight". Here a quote from wikipedia: "History
      It is purported that John Deacon's bass line was inspired by "Good Times" by the disco group Chic.[16][17] In an interview with NME, Chic co-founder Bernard Edwards stated, "That Queen record came about because that Queen bass player ... spent some time hanging out with us at our studio."[18]"
