- It is sooo easy to overplay this song, with lots of wild and uncontrolled slapping. I plead guilty 100%, because I know I did it back in the '80s and '90s when this song was a must in every cover band I played in at that time. It was thé moment for the bass player to shine 3-4 times with the slap bass fill ins.
However... listen carefully to the original e.g. • Rose Royce - Car Wash from 3:30 when the bass goes solo. How did he make that sound ? Not by wildly slapping. Try it out. It's not slapping, but it neither is pure fingerstyle. On live videos you see the bass player indeed making a slapping movement, but on the record it is much more subdued and subtle. I'm guessing it is a very soft slap, with the fleshy part of the thumb on the A and E strings, and ever so lightly pulling the higher octave notes on D and G. This video shows what I came up with. Try it out yourself.
Recorded as ever as purely as possible: PB '76 with very old roundwounds (15+ yrs), bass into mixing console, then into notebook MicIn, no pre- or postprocessing. Only turned up treble up on the mixing console but it hardly has any effect due to the old roundwounds. On the record however the bass sound has the slight upper register accentuated. But remember: this is 1975, only the beginning of the crucial important disco and funk years 78-79-80, and only from 80-81 on production and especially the brilliance of sound in general became an important focus. So that explains why the slapping bass fills are not so sparkly or present, but in the light of that era, it must have been a real novelty.
Unfortunately the video has some sync problems in the slap passages. This is because of the light reflecting in the bass and the slow Windows XP notebook can't keep up with the camera frame datarate :).

TH-cam would have made my life so much easier when I was learning bass in the 70's, we had to replay songs over and over and interpret notes and hope you were playing it right. Players have no excuses anymore for not getting better, just play a video and practice.
One of the coolest base lines from the funky Mowtown era ! 🎸👏👍
Dude! That bass playing was 'freakin' awesome!!!!
Heard on the radio just half an hour ago, searched on YT for the bass covers and guess which one popped up! Thanks for this
Great find by yourself :).
super badass playing and cover of this funk classic!
Amazing bass lines
One of the famous tracks from Rose Royce!
Thanks for the bass and keep on playing good old music.
Dankeschön für das Video.
👍👍👍🇺🇸🚐🇺🇸🌞😎
Beautiful slap bass to this iconic song! Love it and keep rocking!!!!!!
You master pretty much all the bad-ass funky grooves out there. This is a delight! Thx Belga-B-ass ;)
Amazing pbass sound
Wow, mate, you can play! Kudos! And-what a beauty is your P Bass!!!!
She's a real mature beauty yes, turning 50 in 2 years.
@@BelgaBass though not as blazoned, my old Eko fretless is in the same ballpark as far as age goes...they made them in Italy back then, and after a pick-up swap, it too feels and sounds like a charm!
Excellent!. Great job with the octaves and thumping.
Wonderful!! Great right hand finger accents. You got the feel! Thank you for this inspiration to learn it!
Slamming bass tune
I see you also come from the that golden age of bass, the 70s. What a great time for bass!
Absolutely superb job well done man you hit every little nuance!
Spot on.
Bravo!
I saw the film later on tv remember the song in the 1970's. The bass is very accurate to the Rose Royce hit! 😃🎸🎶
EXCELENTE!!!
Greetings BelgaBass! Man, thanks for clearing this playing up for me. I been playing this song like you did for quite a while and I thought I was getting it wrong when I was listening to other players trying to play it. Now I feel vindicated! I have a Fender MusicMaster bass I brought when I was in junior high school in 1975. It's sunburst color. Thanks again! Love your playing.
Great video superb playing 👍
numero uno assoluto!!!
Another great job! I think your right, it sounds like he's using a lot of his thumb but playing lightly. Maybe a little similar to Louis Johnson's style when playing octaves with his thumb.
GREAT PLAYING, GREAT VIDEO, GREAT COMMENTS. THANK YOU !!! This is a huge lesson for me. Great job !!!
Oh this is ace well done!
I like this Song too!
I honestly think that the wah sound in the intro is a bass wah. The guitar is doing other stuff while the wah is being played, but the bass doesn't. If you have two guitarists in the band, no problem. Or in the studio they overdubbed the wah. But it doesn't sound like a normal guitar wah. I've experimented with it, and believe I'm right.
My family wants to play this at a concert in 3 weeks….. they just added this to the set list. I got some major practice
Those strings are so old, their social security number is 1!
just WOW! The slap part is almost perfect, I just can't get that part right :(
Slow down the video wil help with difficult parts and practis practis slowly then faster. IT works pretty good ✌️
Another great rendition. Well done sir. It would be great if you could play Dynasty's Here I am.
Thank you.I've looked into that Dynasty song, didn't know it, Leon Sylvers on bass. Unfortunately, since breaking my righthand middle fingertip a few months ago, the fingertip is now too stiff to reliably play that kind of busy bass line anymore.
@@BelgaBass I'm really sorry about your finger. Here's hoping it heals fully. Happy to know you still play all the same. Yes, it's a great song. It would have been great to see you play it. Best regards.
Pra quem saber como um baixo é a alma da funk music !!
🤩👍
Bro hell to the Yaaaa🤘🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Your deepest string is in D at the beginning, later in E... thanks anyway, helped a lot!
You can see the man flip back his Hipshot D-tuner at 0:45 which brings the low string from D back up to E.
Salut j'adore tes chanson !
I've been trying to get the wah wah pedal right!
Nice shirt
P bass is still The King.
Hi there. Very nice cover indeed I looove this tune!! Would you mind sending me the tab you used for it ? If you used a tab of course. Thank you anyway and congrats !!
Come tae hear the bass, and I'm like, oh, I like yer shirt 🙋
Utterly superb. The same quality of your other work. I cannot fathom if you are not in some group and making really decent money.
Thx. I'm already long past the age of being in bands and making some money off music as an additional occupation (have been active from the late '80s to 2012)
E string tuned down to a D?
Yes, but only in the intro. It's a Hipshot D'tuner (Extender?). hipshotproducts.com/collections/bass-xtenders.
I used those a lot in the '90s, still seems to be available today but quite pricey I must say.
what is that walking bass line called from 1:21 to 1:35??
×1.25 make this great.
Gran bajista de la música disco, funk,...! ¿Puedo decirte algunos temas buenísimos para que la toques?
Claro, porque no ? Pero no puedo garantizar que los voy a tocar.
Hi - I am 60 yo and just bought my first Bass Guitar. I have chosen this song as my first project. I have looked about and there are other versions and Bass Tabs but this version looks the best. However I cant find a matching Bass Tab. I have the gist but some parts are complex to follow so a link to this specific TAB would be wonderful.
This is quite a hard song for starting, I would suggest picking it up later (without using tabs)
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
you are super good....please clean your fingerboardLOL!
No thank you, I like my basses to have natural patina, and hardly ever clean them (and most certainly not my strings!)
@@BelgaBasswell I meant it as a slight poke in jest .
You're fine player I've had people say that too I don't know why you do it but whatever floats your boat
I can hardly stand fingerprints on my instruments !
Allow me to shock you then some further, and admit that I have not cleaned a bass (any of those in my vids) for at least the last 10 years :). I also do not possess any new bass, so no need to clean. The most recent one is the 5-string, somewhere beginning of '2000. It still has 3 of the the 5 original strings since I bought it 15 yrs ago, and also: never cleaned nor cooked. The white '78-79 Stingray is a rather recent almost perfect refinish , and I would be inclined to keep that one clean, but let's talk again in 5 years to see if I ever did...
Nice, but I think your slapped octaves sound rushed. Keep at it!
Well, that ain't gonna get any better after 43 yrs of playing :)
Oh those "nice,but"s comments. People should find some humility inside, eh? ))
Even if someone finds your octaves not relaxed, your slangy "ain't" and "gonna" are now - and I'm glad ❤ you feel this way)
Fuck yeah !
😮😮😮 that was awesome
