I don't know how I never noticed what a great bass line this was until resently. Great line that I hope I did justice. Done on my Musicman Stingray Classic
Great job. This bass line has always been underrated. Has a great and infectious groove. When i am a little sluggish and need to set a faster pace throughout my day to get more things done,, It is one of the songs I play to help speed me up.
Great cover Todd! I heard this last week and (like you) never paid attention to the base line before then. I looked for a cover and yours was the big winner! Thanks for doing it justice!
Damn it Todd! I only just saw you doing James Brown and now I find you doing another of my all time greats Steve Miller! How have I missed you all this time brother? That was outstanding! Subscribed Fella!
Todd, are there two versions of this, for some reason, this sounds like a slower tempo than the radio version to me. Could be my imagination. Anyway, great bass line- if you hear the guitar part standalone, you realize how much of the depth/richness of the riff and chorus is actually the bass.
Hey Rick! Thanks for the kind words brother. Not sure about the the different versions. I usually just download what ever I’m going to learn off iTunes. You are correct, Lonnie Turners bass line rules on this. Take care brother.
They do that a lot for long songs. One notorious song that gets ruined by radio play is Right Down The Line by Gerry Rafferty. Listen to the album vs radio edit. You will notice the radio edit is slightly faster and they didn't pitch correct it so it's sharp. Sounds bad.
Lonnie Turner was so tasteful and smooth, a true professional. You expertly captured the spirit of the song.
Thank you so much!
I always thought the bass lines in the Steve Miller band is what made the band exceptional. Great job!!!
I agree and thank you!
This is so tight! Lonnie was such an effective player, not needlessly flashy, and never boring. GREAT cover!
Glad you enjoyed it!
From one bass player to another: AWESOME!
Thank you Andey!!
Thanks for the video! Lovin’ that Stingray. 😊
Thank you!
Spot on!!!
Mr Turner would be impressed.
Thank you Tony!
Who the hell thumbed this down? I had no idea the bass line was that original and varied. You nailed it!
Thank you so much :)
Nicely done sir!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you!
Thank you! I am obsessed with this bassline - everything on TH-cam is guitar. Love it! Rhythm Sections Rock!!!
thank you Schoen!
Great job! That's one of the greatest bass lines ever, and I think you did Lonnie Turner proud. Love your SR Classic too; mine's black.
Thank you so much! LT was a brilliant man!
Wow!!!! Just found this.. Awesome job.. I haven’t seen another video of the bass part to this song.. and man you did it great.. thank you..
thank you so much Drew!!
Great job on nailing that bass line!
Thanks!
Very nice job ! Your bass sound like a million bucks too. Never knew that song's bass line was so cool.
Thank you Glenn!! That’s a sneaky cool line huh?
Great job. This bass line has always been underrated. Has a great and infectious groove. When i am a little sluggish and need to set a faster pace throughout my day to get more things done,, It is one of the songs I play to help speed me up.

Thank you!
Great job with this bass like! Also - I'm jealous that you can get that wonderful tone out of a SR Classic! Nice!
Thanks!
Beautiful job. JL is one of those pop songs where the cover of any part of it - guitar, bass, drums, vocals - would be a kick-ass chopsfest.

One of the most underrated bass lines
Indeed!!

What’s the tuning brother it’s not quite a half step down
It was tuned weird! I remember just tuning till I matched up with it. Sorry I know that’s no help. Thanks for watching :)
Lmao I’m still watching this and I still can’t play as good as you on a bad day .... I’m kinda jealous!!
thank you again my friend!
Where did you find the tab or notation for this song?
I learned it by listening to it.
Great video, what tuning is this in?
thanks it's not standard, i just had to tune to the song.
Todd, are there two versions of this, for some reason, this sounds like a slower tempo than the radio version to me. Could be my imagination.
Anyway, great bass line- if you hear the guitar part standalone, you realize how much of the depth/richness of the riff and chorus is actually the bass.

Really great playing on all your vids. Is this vid tuned higher than A440. Maybe me LOL.
Thank you Dean! This one was tuned weird for sure! That was one of the biggest challenges of learning songs as a kid...trying to match the tuning!
