Many thanks to all those that took the time to listen and comment...The inspiration for this was partly seeing Bernard Edwards play 'Good Times' on the TV and also SuperMax's lead Singer...see below...
@macker71165 - Thanks man, sometimes that super tight guitar takes a lot of concentration, appreciate that you noticed.
@Cawproductions - Cheers for the listen and the critique, yeah I played it, took quite a few takes to get it that tight, but really it played itself, once the groove was there. I couldn't decide on the sound of the un processed bass sound. I would really recommend that the guitar and bass are played all the way through an not looped (you get so many 'human' touches, string slides, out of timeness etc., with a minimum of backing tracks to keep one's focus.)
I wanted a lofi unsizzly LVox, I had this idea in my mind that this kind of thing was always a bit blurred on my oldest sisters transistor radio. I will take another look at the prod on the track...That vocal take was a riot actually, I've never done anything like that before so I didn't know how to approach it, so I closed mic'd it with hardly any volume, smiling all the time...part of the reason for the lyrics was that I felt such a fool singing like that.
@Rightly - Thats very kind.
@Bankie - Thanks Man, glad it did it for you...Those funk bands of the '70's wouldn't be seen dead with a dented purple sparkle Yamaha rbx350 (with a n XLR screwed in the front)! so I'm glad I could fake a precision bass. Phew!
@Paulski - Cheers Man - I bet you still have a pair flares that fit....
@Movin Flavour - Well well, Seem to have hit the vibe, glad you dig man.
@redrhodie - I wouldn't go as far as that, awesome! well they were actually a guide vocal, but made me laugh so much I decided to keep 'em, and the image of me trying to dance at a funky disco just made me hoot, I never went to a roller disco, I probably would have ended up in hospital...It was a real laugh, lots of boogying around under the cans, ironically making myself look like a fool.
@PaulyX - I was really pleased with your comment about the vocal delivery, as I did take care in trying to get this right, even though it was a tongue-in-cheek effort...There's a song called 'World of Today' sung by a band called Super Max, I always thought lead singer was as black as your hat, but it turns out he's a blond haired Austrian, so I thought, Yip, maybe I can get away with it too. (btw...that's part of the reason it's called SuperFunk...a nod to him..Hans or Kurt or whatever his name is)
@Skub - Pleased you liked it, and my fingerboard antics...
@shadowfax - Appreciate you took the time, even though it ain't your thang man.
@tboswell - Thanks, Which guitar bit are you referring to? Amplitude is pretty good for most sounds, especially Fender and Mesa Boogie...
better go and put the bumper back on...next one in my Genre Jumping suite is Trance...Wish me luck folk...duff dufff dufff
