  • Hello :) This is the requested transcription I did of the Aretha Franklin song "Think" that Donald "Duck" Dunn played bass on.
    This is the version from the Blues Brothers movie.
    This transcription can be found at www.muzento.com under Advanced - Learning Songs subject. I've also included the drum track.
    Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy :)

    Glad I found you Greg, I have played guitar professionally most of my life but really a closet Bass Player lol. I finally bit the bullet and bought a Bass a month ago and with your help I've learned a few songs now I'm working on Think. When I searched "Think Aretha Bass" Bam! You came up and it was the Duck Dunn blues Bros version BONUS!!
    Your charts have been super helpful to lockdown some of the areas my ear gets tricked on. Thanks again!

    Great job Greg! Nice work as usual. That tempo gave you a good workout, I detect a little sweat on that forehead:). BTW, I really like the tone on that Fender of yours. My guess is you took the tortoise pick guard off it? Always liked that color on those Fenders.

    • @BassCovers
      @BassCovers  Před 5 lety

      Hi Lori...thanks :) Really glad you like it ;)
      haha...yup, that tune gives me a workout for sure :P
      Ya, I really like my Fender :) I can't remember what the pick guard looked like? It was so long ago. I think it was just black? Anyway, the first thing I did when I got the bass was take it off ;)

  • @realmixonline
    @realmixonline Před 4 lety

    Awesome! Thanks! Do you go for a muted sound for the bass, with something tucked under the strings to mute them a little?

    • @BassCovers
      @BassCovers  Před 4 lety

      hey Matt, thanks for the comment and question. Nothing tucked under the strings over here :) I've actually never heard of that before?...interesting. Have you tried it before?

    • @realmixonline
      @realmixonline Před 4 lety

      @@BassCovers No worries, and I love this song and bass line in particular. I am more of a guitarist so loved learning this with my new short scale bass thanks!
      I am actually a studio recording and mix engineer mostly , and over many years I have seen people using all kinds of different things to mute the strings on the bass for a shorter, more muted and staccato sound to the played bass notes. Tissue paper, bits of foam, rolled up cloth etc. This item here is a commercial product, www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/The_BAss_Mute.html
      Not that I think you need it, as I see nothing like that in the video and it sounds more like you are controlling the notes with your fingers naturally. Awesome stuff!

    what settings do you use to get your Jbazz that deep? flats? any special settings?

    • @BassCovers
      @BassCovers  Před 7 měsíci

      Hi, I use round wound strings and use EQ and a bit of compression. I hope that helps. Thanks!
