Giants of Bass - Rocco Prestia

This video features ‘Is This Hip?’, the track that I've written to represent Tower of Power bassist Rocco Prestia in the revamped edition of my book 'Giants of Bass', which was released in March 2017 through www.basslinepublishing.com
This funk tune features many of Rocco’s trademark moves: sixteenth note-based fingerstyle grooves, unison lines and a muted tone, and . I recorded the bass part using a Precision bass equipt with the Bass Mute, which helps with creating a muted tone. The bass in the video is my 1971 Fender Jazz bass.
