Bass guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Louis Johnson, the bass player for the Brothers Johnson also made a large contribution to the world of slap with driving melodic rhythms that contributed to their many hits during the late 70's and early 80's, notably the bassline from Michael Jackson's Billie Jean and the Brothers Johnson's own hit from 1980, Stomp. Bassists trying to emulate the sound of a double bass will often pluck the strings with their thumb, and use their fingers to anchor their hand and partially mute the strings (partially muting the strings creates a short, "thumpy" tone for the notes which mimics the sound of an upright bass). While the influential bassist Jaco Pastorius and many with him preferred to pluck them very close to the bridge for a bright and sharp sound, many prefer the rounder sound they get by plucking closer to the neck, mostly near the neck pickup. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bass_guitar   (5044 words)

Joe Louis But it's an open question what would have happened to Joe Louis had those lapses from greatness occurred during contests with champions like Sullivan, Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeffries, Jack Johnson or Dempsey. Johnson, who is supposed to have been a master boxer, failed to knock him down once in the contest.

What guitarists say Bassists are soloists as well as supporters in a band, and it is important to know when it is time to lay back… and when its time to step out. That being a bassist is an endeavor of 'foundation,' of 'support.' In a guitar trio, for example, this does not mean that there cannot be a 'dance,' a 'dialogue' between the guitar and bass. Many bassists have found there is a slight amount of “play well, but not as well as me”, about them. www.globalbass.com /archives/apr2002/guitarists.htm   (5811 words)

It's known that Johnson's mad love of jazz is related to the people he's played with -- after all, this is only his third up-front recording -- but it is clearly his personal best to date, and he puts many of the younger tenor cats to shame.
