@pompeyjazz - Thanks for the kind words...PJ I always try and play everything using real instruments where I can, the regular bassline is a Yamaha rbx350 with Precision Jazz pups played all the way through, the slap walking bass was a Yamaha trb4, with Amplitude 4 SVX - a Soundtoys Microshift, a Waves Fairchild 670, and an Elysia museq mix EQ.
(From memory...) For completeness the Rhodes is a Lounge Lizard VST, the Drums were BFD3 (Sorry my drumming just ain't as tight as it should be), Funky Guitar is a Custom Strat through Amplitude 4 - Fender Twin Reverb 65, Perc, strings and brass are MAGIX independence Pro. The George Benson thing is a Yamaha SG1000 mic'd to a Palmer fat 50 combo.
Master buss is bx Townhouse Compressor, Limiter Waves L3 - LL Multimaximiser, no EQ.
Again the toughest thing to get right was the bass EQ and compression, it's always a blimmin dog to get right.
Cluck Cluck
@SlavaB - Cheers man, I've always been a bit of a fan of Abe Laboriel...Glad you like it.
