Hi Jeff!

That bass sounds very good! On the song, it seems it is a simplified version of the original Jamerson's bass line. I also played a different, reduced version. The second part, after the chorus, is very complex in the original. Jamerson was a amazing player.

By the way, the book in the background, is the book on James Jamerson?

Yep, I can't play the full Jamerson version yet. I love his playing, it's just so difficult to replicate. And that is the Standing in the Shadows of Motown book. Good eye!

Sounds good.

As an experiment, try keeping your thumb on the side of the pick-up. I find that it keeps my plucking consistent over all strings. Just a suggestion, YMMV.
