- Fender '50s Precision with a mute*. I'm unsure whether the original line was played with a mute, but it sounds good to me.

Take that from a bassplayer who has played on multi platinum selling records.... thanks for your controbution to the bass education world!.
Maaan..you're on wikipedia !!!!!

That id one the tightest covers I have ever heard in my life..... a perfect 10 across the boards
You got the funk, the whole funk and nothing but the funk.
8 years later but I don’t care, what an absolute mad lad.🔥
These funky times when the bass was the heart of the songs. I was a frustrated bassist and the bass is the instrument that i fix my attention on.
Leon Sylvers really is a musical genius. The amount of genius bass he layed down at SOLAR records is astonishing, on top of song writing and producing these songs
You gave me a huge bass breakthrough with this video. That a riff like this, with this string skipping, HAS to start on a particular finger, EVERY TIME. In this song I have to start the main riff with the middle finger, so the last notes on the G string are played with the longest finger… the middle finger. Until now, I just let my plucking hand do whatever. I thot that if I just kept practicing, it would get good. Nope. I HAVE to figure out the best plucking pattern to a song, and stick to it. Maybe that should have been Bass 1A class, but thank God I’m at least finally getting it. Thank you, bass brother !!!
Play that funky music!
😂😂😂 he doin his thang buddy groovy wit it💯💯👌
you forgot to add "white boy"
@@simonbeckford3025 Duh … it’s implicit. Ya know? Google it.
One of the best house party jams!!!!! Remembering such all night long movin’ to the groovin’. The roof, the roof …
Can you master the bass to “This is Your Life”??? Commodores? Or EWF “Hearts of Fire”? Or any Ohio Players?
I love the sound, tone and quality of your bass. You killed this! 🔥
You're grand, mate! 👍🏽
it is a treat I play with you all day, but I didn 't your level ... thank you again
So good brother. Such a groove
i've commented on this before, but it deserves another one, this is such a brilliant performance, so well played. The basic groove is so rock solid and the small variations are exceptionally well done.
I love how you're feeling the vibe man!!! I can't help but move when I listen to songs like this good work bro keep on slaappin da beeeaasss
I love when RUclips throws this on my feed. Huw can you do more whispers songs
Did ‘It’s A Love Thing’ a few months ago! ruclips.net/video/ESL6F5x7cJk/видео.htmlsi=3TKRXUYE2OlGtpla
Simply FANTASTIC
Keep playing brotha, you are killing it 🔥💯🙏🏿

You got that vibe with the song man. I could listen to your covers all day. Keep playing man, great job!
Awesome man! love the song and your cover! Im beginner at the bass just 3 months now for have, its a big goal for me to learn this song. Greetings
Dude you are an awesome bass player. One of the best
best fender pbass imo
Damn dude! You play a mean bass!!!!
Great Cover! You made this your own!
Hey Huw😊 My husband Kossie Gardner played all the keyboards on this. He was a staff writer and musician working for Solar Records back in the 80's. He also wrote other songs for The Whispers as well as for Shalamar. Kossie sadly passed away back in 2009. I just came across your video and wanted to say great job on that bass man!!! You are very talented and my late husband as well as Mr. Leon Sylvers who played that bass line would be impressed!😊 I am a vocalist and was thinking to do a vocal cover on this in honor of him and to honor this most amazing song and baseline groove ever by The Whispers! LOL from Ecuador
P.S. Never let that color thing stop you ok?!😊 I' m white and I opened a show for the legendary Millie Jackson years ago.
Music is colorblind😇
Amen! Back in the day it was not about color it was what you felt from the soul and united it all together💙 Sorry for your loss, your husband was a great keyboard player!
@@hardlines4 Hey Huw😇 BLESS you brother and keep on bringing it ok?! I just SUBSCRIBED to you. Check out my new RUclips channel under Anita Miles ( Covers) when you get a chance. I have just recently started singing again after many years. I have on!y 5 videos singing to kareoke tracks at the moment. I will be adding 2 or 3 more in the next few weeks. Let me know what you think ok?😊 Much Love Anita Miles
Anna Castro Will do, I was in a band years ago and I miss it so much! I go out and do some fun karaoke here and there I for sure will be getting back in the groove soon! 💙
@@hardlines4 I sure wish you could fly down here to Ecuador and play with me man!!!😀 We could crank out some outstanding stuff together!! Where do you live in USA? I just recorded tonight McFadden and Whiteheads...Ain't No Stopping Us Now. I did all the background vocals as well. I would love to send it to you by email. Would you like that? It turned out great!!! You would sound fab on that bass line brother!! I am not on Facebook or Instagram...on!y email. I live in the boonies man in the Andes mountains!!😀 I am a Southern country girl at heart from N.C. and need to be in deep Nature. LOL
Anna Castro I’m a singer as well, was practicing playing bass but gave it up to soon :( You for sure do the music I do as well, 70’s and 80’ the best💙 I’m in Michigan 😉
Hi Chris,
As I mentioned in the description, I just rolled up an old tea towel and placed it under the strings at the bridge. Basically, any material that you have to hand will produce a muted sound, with slight variations on sound. The classic approach is to use some foam - that's what the Motown guys did.
Cheers!

He starts moving more half way through lol ... I love it! Great playing, great song.
excellent playing Sir
Great cover, lovely feeling :D And great bass also!
Brooooooooo I just found your channel after listening to this song and wondering if anyone has done a decent cover of this banger. You blew this track out of the water with your air tight playing. Subbed for ever
Mute sounds correct to me as it stops the ringing on the tight syncopated bass lines like this one. Awesome job Huw.
You really nailed the tone of the original. Nothing like a P bass 👍
Que época!!! Que grupazo the whispers, ídolos totales y muy buen trabajo del cover!!! Temas inolvidables
Love your playing man super tight and tasteful all the time
The groove is dead on, you absolutely nailed it.
Your tone is great. The original bass part was performed by Leon Sylver (he also wrote the song and produced it) on a Rickenbacker (most likely a 4001 or 4003) with the stock flatwounds that came on the bass.
And the bass goes on! Nicely done 🙌🏽
Excellent you killed it !!!!
God bless you bro. I'm going to watch this video till I get it.
ソララノニイ=Cookie type on Japanese keyboard.
hahaha funny
Love Whispers and your play
We seem to be cut from the same cloth. Playing along with songs like this is one of my big hobbies when I'm by myself.
EXCELLENT!!!! And The Beat Goes On!!!!
Played like a Boss! , great tone!
Super, Groovy, Job...Loved it.
That tone is perfect. As always, great job.
Perfect show
Incredibly smooth. You need to be in a pro touring band, my friend.
Bangin' bass playing!! You're playing everything I grew up on. Started playing again and love what you're playing!! Keep them coming!!
Fantastic, man! Nice song! Greetings from Brazil!
You are smooth as glass.....love this song!!
Looks like an awesome bass to play. And your bassound is to die for.
