Suspicious Minds Jerry Scheff style bass lines.. played all out

Please use headphones for best audio...I pretty much went all out on it this time, how I play it live..it really is an epic bassline, and while its never set how its played, it was always epic, regarded by many as Scheffs best live bass line... I actually think Patch it up was, but theres no track for that as yet...

[@retiredmusiceducator3612]

You have taught me, a retired music teacher for K-12 for 48 years to truly love the bass sound... you are a most amazing player to learn to do that!!!!!

[@bassmanrich44]

blimmy thank you!!

[@hubriswonk]

Groooooovey! Love me some Jerry! If you listen closely you can hear some LA Woman in that groove! Cool bass and thanks for playing :)

Richard Raymond You're welcome. Is that a fretless bass you're playing? It looks like there should be metal frets up and down the fingerboard.

How about doing a bass Elvis's version of Amy day now? There's not one on YT.

Great bass line. So intricate though. How do you know and remember all those Patterns

[@bassmanrich44]

+stewart snape I make it up as I go along, just play whatever I feel at that moment...nothing worked out just get the general bass line then play how I feel I want to for it..

[@luisbarrera1099]

Practice practice practice

[@javierserna1000]

Richard, can you please use the TCB from 1972 like you did with Polk Salad.. Using these sub par musicians with a singer who can barely carry a tune hurts your purpose'. Little technical ability and very little emotion with these guys.. Not to mention the necessary separation among musicians like the real masters.. I.E TCB Band.. Please do this with the MSG TCB in the background..

[@bassmanrich44]

if only i could, but i like these tracks as i can remove the bass from them

[@luisbarrera1099]

hy richard im still your biggest fan!!!! a question.,..i know you play a stand up bass on occasion...but have never seen you play a fretrless bass? isw he sound just wrong for you? just curious...im still playing drums but have given yup on bass...but you inspire me to get back to it...also see on last two videos you mkovein g a lot gettin g down with it lol glad to see it..and the Hedges are right on....damn youre gfd!!! polk salaD Ellie

[@bassmanrich44]

hello, how you been? you on Fb yet? i do play fretless, in fact i just did a few with an electro acoustic fret less.. so how you doing? still playing in the band?

[@officergregorystevens5765]

One trick with this style of playing, or the notes themselves is to drop down to one string below the current note you're on, and I think two frets back... then walk up from there. Not sure what that is.. the relative something. lol. You hear it alot though when the playing gets faster. John Paul Jones did that in The Lemon Song bassline. Not to say that's all you're doing here, because there are plenty of octaves and other riffs too

[@bassmanrich44]

cool will try it out thanks.
