    Hi friends!
    Checking out a new project bass and paying homage to the Queen of Soul on one of my fave Aretha tunes! This is a super cheap Squier Bass that I've been working on. Hope you enjoy!
    As always, be nice in the comments, people! Plenty of mistakes, but you get the idea. Drop a like and share with a friend!

    I love what Chuck Rainey did on Rock Steady, and you nailed his feel! That performance is a fitting tribute to the Queen, Ms. Franklin.

    Candra, you turned in an awesome version of the original bass.....was it really Chuck Rainey who was the session guy on bass for Aretha recording? I remember him from Steely Dan - Aja era recordings. By the way, you are a beautiful, sexy woman as well. I adore the bass line, your guitar, and, more than anything, you. Kudos and show us some other bass guitar tracks you've put down.
