Marvin + Tammi - Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing [BASS COVER] - with notation and tabs

I love this tune. I think maybe by virtue of the fact that "Ain't No Mountain" was such a mega-hit, this one has such a cool underdog-type vibe. Such musical 5-bar motown phrases, and James Jamerson weaves the most perfect path through it all. It was a pleasure to lift this one.
Also, I tried out the GruvGear "FUMP" to get the muted tone. It's the little clamp you can see right above the bridge. Kind of almost worked?
Enjoy.

Thanks for the request, spacedgroove!

Thanks for making the effort to do this! Keep up the great work!

Finally! Somebody who gets it! There’s a swagger, a cockiness you gotta have to play Jamerson well. “ How long can I hold this note and still be ready for the next one?” That sort of thing. It’s more than the notes on the page. Take notes guy’s! This gut did it right!!!!

[@MsRiccig]

[@macklilley2242]

Sure! Got a specific tune in mind?

[@PrinceofPersia6423]

Ooh IV would be dope to see for sure. Honestly anything by them is dope!

[@harrywatson5783]

[@natronebeans3513]

Great work as always, any chance on doing Living Colour's Time's Up?

[@danirebollo]

I just come to your channel and I like very much your groove! Keep rockin' Pd: what about "I want you" by Cee lo green? ;)

[@loganf8946]

Could you please do “Oakland Stroke” by tower of power? I’m learning the drum part right now. So funky!

[@BennyTheBassman]

I can never turn down requests for more TOP! Thanks - added to the cue.

[@BennyTheBassman]

request fulfilled :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpuneqmdbrmNkNU

[@unc1589]

Next test…. Darling Dear! Then maybe Bernadette? (If you dare). Here’s a monkey wrench…. “God is love” by MG on the WGO album! All note for note. Accomplish these three and there’s no song you can’t play. This is your mission grasshopper😉
