Mottola, a Massachusetts luthier, as part of a "family" of four basses, one with normal tuning, one up an octave (piccolo) and a pair up two octaves (piccolino). The All Bass Orchestra includes (L-R) Rick Taylor, Roy Vogt, Charlie Chadwick (upright) Dave Pomeroy, Dave Roe (upright) Bob Babbitt, Paul Arntz, Jackie Street. copyright 2012 by earwave music.

The late great Bob Babbitt . What a gift he had. RIP Mr. Babbitt; thank you for sharing your God given gift with us. Peace out.
RIP Bob. Thank you for all of your great bass lines.
omg.....this is siiiiiiiiick and i am loving it....james jamerson and bob babbitt....2 of the greatest and most underrated master bass guitar players.........EVER.....can anyone dispute that?
This is a recording in 2004, Jamerson left in 1983. His spirit is still here.
Still sick today. I'm amazed I've never seen this before now!! 😲
Great post. Many thanks to the creator. Babbitt is about 66 yrs young when this was recorded. Legends don't lose their chops!!
R.I.P. Bob, love you man!
Wild and funky!!
R.I.P, Bob.

Fantastic. Thank you for that 🤘
So much bass. Amazing
That would be the late great JAckie Street. A beautiful, funky man. He died 5 years ago yesterday... R.I.P.
Great session bassist with great taste. One of my favorites.
You know that wherever the afterlife is, Babbitt and Jamerson are battling it out for first chair.
Blanket Jackson , Amen. Great comment Blanket.

Another great session, very well recorded.
I love scorpio.. i would love to hear this is live concert...video dont do it no justice
This version misses Coffey a bit which is funny because I heard a version he did & it needed Babbitt!! Together this song is a major jam!
very nice great

Where can I get myself one of those piccolino bass? Want one so much!
Fun to see Bob play and see he had a sense of humor while playing with these guys. I always thought that this was a terrible song and hearing it again, it confirms that this is a bad song. At least in my opinion
I think it's a great song!!!
You know nothing. It's a great song.
He was disrectful to Dennis Coffey .
This song was a classic and a must learn for Bass Players .
He thinks song is weird and doesn't know name of Dennis Coffey Band .
And it doesn't sound good.
Who's the dude trying to be Donald Duck Dunn with a pipe? Lol. Great video though thanks.
Much prefer Dennis Coffey version
This wasn’t miked well
