[@Dontrel3030]

Why do double bassists in bands like this always rock out so hard it's rad

[@sledgehog1]

Because they are as close to the "groove" as it gets, since bass/double-bass is the standard "grooving" instrument.

[@loonyfumez2818]

no one wants a mediocre double bass bro!

[@canyilmaz1815]

Because double bass players learned the real deal

[@chuyhighman6927]

Now,…I Really Like th way they play This song “A Tribe Called Quest “,…These guys play Awesome

[@Shapeplusform]

It is called a Rhodes piano. Instead of mallets hitting strings they hit tuned metal plates- it has a gorgeous bell sound. People often experimented with it using effects and distortion. The sound he gets in this song uses chorus, flanger and reverb to get the echo effect plus a little distortion for when he's pushing the keys harder. The instrument itself is an electric rhodes piano called the KORG SV-1, highly recommended.

[@kcarraway]

That was nice!!!!! It's not often that you find young guys that know how to play an upright bass & these cats got some REAL jazz in their hearts. To + Ronnie Foster, I've always loved your stuff that I could find here in B'ham , Al but jazz wasn't the big thing here back in the day. I heard this a couple of years before I heard it on The Wayans Bros. Show but didn't know that ATCQ had made it. It figures that it was from a jazz piece because that's what ATCQ, Eric B & Rakim & several other NY acts used on their tracks. I should have Known that it was from one of YOUR songs. x)
