Hell, I’m a drummer, and the right bass part throws that face on me as well. I’ve joined groups through the years just because the bassist was so much fun to play with.
If anyone ever ask what someone who is perfectly in their element looks like, just show them this video. This is what this lady was born to do. She is so in the groove that she BECOMES the groove.
The James Brown & Bootsy Collins Tales From the Tour Bus season was so awesome. It tells the tale of how JB taught Bootsy of the concept of 'the 1', as you mentioned. After the band departed from JB, Bootsy took the knowledge and concept of 'the 1' and passed it onto to George Clinton. I just love how the knowledge was passed down from one iconic great to another by way of the great Bootsy Collins, an icon in his own right.
Julia is feelin the funk. Awesome. I'm a metalhead that loves funk,especially James Brown. I mostly played thrash or death metal for years and didnt want to play anything else. When I approached funk as a bass player I thought I'd just have some fun and learn some licks. I didnt realise then how much I would learn and eventually have a totally different approach to the bass. Playing technical metal is great and challenging,but funk really taught me how to step into the traditioal role as part of the rhythm section. Instead of playing at warp speed with the guitars you have a much larger role. Instead of complimenting the guitars you are often the driving force of the song. This concept wasnt new to me butI didnt have any clue about musical space or sitiing in the pocket(or even what the pocket was). I had to realise that less is more and stop myself from trying to fill all musical space with notes. There are situations where the best thing for the song is thumping on roots and fifths and being part of that rhythm section.
I saw Bootsy last weekend in Cincinnati backstage at the Black Music Walk of Fame Inductees Grand Openning July 22, 2023. James Brown's Daughter brought Bootsy and his wife Pat to the stage as she accepted her father's inductee award. LA Reid of The Deele also gave Bootsy and Midnight Star their props for paving the way and giving The Deele their start to stardom. It was an awesome even and the Ohio Players put on a show that closed the event. Cincinnati loves Bootsy Collins and all its contributors to the music History. If you are ever in Cincinnati Ohio you have check out The Black Music Walk of Fame. By the way this young lady is "Cold Blooded" on the "Funky Bass"!!!
I got to hangout with Gary, Parliament Funkadelic guitar player, back in the late 80's at a friend's place in Atlanta. We got to watch the David Letterman interview with Bootsy the afternoon before the show aired later that night. It was a funky day! ✌️😎🎸
So I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Bootsy's hometown. And if you go to enough shows around here, you just see him around. I have two Bootsy stories. When I was in high school, I saw Public Enemy. Randomly in the middle of the show, Flav yells "Yo Bootsy get out here." Bootsy walks on stage, picks up a guitar and Flav gets on the drums and they jammed for a few minutes. A few years later, I saw Freekbass live. Before the show started, me and my friend saw Bootsy walk in the venue surrounded by a bunch of photographers. You can see him coming from a mile away because he is super super tall. Anyway, he started coming directly toward me and my friend. He was being super cool saying hi to everyone shaking hands. He comes up to me and my friend, stops and looks down at us. Right at this moment a photographer got literally right in front of my face! Bootsy shakes my friends hand, and my friend says "Hey what's up man." I peek around the photographer and look at Bootsy. He looks down at me for a second confused and then just keeps walking. 😂 Anyway, he's definitely a musical hero. P-Funk for life.
I saw Bootsy's Rubber Band in the mid 90's when I lived in San Francisco. I was then and I still am now in complete awe of that man's bass playing. He has such a great feel for Funk. Just simply amazing to watch him live.
If you watch any Julia's video and don't fall in love with her after 34 seconds, there is something really wrong with you. Extremelly talented, fun and stunning lady!
Gr8 stuff Julia .. Nice moves lol .. When I was young guitar player Like bootsie I had to swap to Bass as my older Brother was Singer & guitar player . I found in a Library ' sale of damaged books' a copy of How to be A Bass Player by Bootsie Collins .. Some one had stolen the Music pages & left the Pictures & the words of advice from Bootsie .. There were three main rules (?) a ) Practice is for the Bedroom Not the Stage . Never try to play something new until you are 100% sure you can do it . b ) if you do make a mistake smile & play it again with confidence like you meant to do it . c ) Never let the Band down .. They are counting on you to hit that ONE . .. He also advised the importance of always dressing & acting like a confident person no matter how nervous you are act cool . Don't talk to much . & Practice all the time .. Practice in front of a mirror as if there was an audience .. By the way I think you got it right .. the slide up into the ONE etc little grace notes & spaces just B4 the ONE .. I have always remembered these tips . Love you all at Thomann Peace & a happy summer to come that's what I wish for you all . Bye
When he and Catfish joined the original JB band, he didn't even have a bass. He had a guitar that had bass strings on it. James Brown offered to get him a proper bass, and he accepted.

I agree with all of these! I would personally add muchies for your love, night of the thumpasorus people, getting to know you, be my beach, just to name a few lol
That bass screams late 60s and 70s. I love how it looks, and yet, oddly enough, I dont know that I would ever want to own a bass that looked like that - but I love it all the same.
I heard a lot of funk as a kid--thanks to my mom and her friends when they had parties--and for a long time I suspected that was why when I eventually took up the bass, I kind of instinctively started on "the one."
I was just a kid in the 70's, but I mis them. Music was sooooooo much better than today. All of it. Funk, smooth r&b, country and classic rock. I started listening to my own music then.
My favourite Bootsy bass line is on "J.R. (Just Right)" from Blasters of the Universe (1994). It goes perfect with my favourite Bernie Worrell keyboard riff.
I was the videographer in Nashville that recorded Victor last week. Today, you came up on my RUclips feed after 6days! I am impressed by your passion for the instrument, the masters and playing. Good job! Ray
If I were 35 yrs younger Julia would be my wife. lol. She got everything a wife needs, she can play the hell outta the bass, she’s so beautiful and smart. But I’m just an old bass playing dreamer. lol. Great video girl. Love it.
Dag! I never got pass song #1. That's the best Bootsy I have ever heard. Notable she mentioned CatFish. I can hear CatFish hitting licks all on top of Bootsy heads for Funk'n with his guitar when he wasn't at home in them strings Gurl!! Man, it's all in the NECK and I'm not talking Frets! Neck Bone Connected to the Knee Bone. Funk Anatomy 101!! ☝️🤘🏾☝️
Bootsy, one of the best ! You do him right. You already played all my favorites. I can't pick just one 😎 I followed him since he started with James Brown. I'm old 😊

No matter how hard Julia tries, she can't avoid "bass face" while playing Bootsy. That's how you know a jam is right.
Hell yeah she got bass face. It's a condition. She can't help it.
With pigeon walking moves.
Hell, I’m a drummer, and the right bass part throws that face on me as well. I’ve joined groups through the years just because the bassist was so much fun to play with.
@Bruce Logan it's like magic when a drummer and bass player find the perfect partner to gel with.
No matter what face she makes, Julia is one badass, beautiful, bass babe!
What better testament to Bootsy's work than the obvious joy it brings to others who play it
Bass Face + dance moves + Star Bass + Silver Pants + hitting the 1 = we got the funk!
Damn right! You can’t help but move a little if you’re getting the funk right.
Leggings not pants
YOU KNOW THAT'S RIGHT! Buhhht, true Bass Face is that look like someone shitted in the room!
The funkiest White chick alive!
George Clinton is like hell yeah ..lol
That Star bass is EVERYTHING !!!
What I love about your playing is that you look like you're having fun instead of trying to impress people.
i agree
If anyone ever ask what someone who is perfectly in their element looks like, just show them this video. This is what this lady was born to do. She is so in the groove that she BECOMES the groove.
Julia has got to hold the title of Funkiest Central European. Silver pants, yo. Feel it.
Yeah she’s fantastic. Also don’t miss Kinga Glyk, she’s pretty funky too.
Well said!!! and funny!!!!
Yes Yes I Agree Julia Is Hot!...Her Bass Bass Playing Is Off The Chain...She Definitely Got It👍👍👍

Correction. Julia IS the FUNK :)
I like “I’d rather be with you” live version. Amazing bass playing on your part.
That's my jam too!
Julia's energy is always the cherry on top with these videos. 😁

It’s impossible to play Bootsy lines without dancing. Good job, Julia.
Always really impressed with Bootsy’s ability to sing and play!
Julia killed it - all the nuance is where the funk lives!!

What amazes me about this guy’s playing is his sheer strength and the ability to never drop the beat....Great video...

Julia is our silverlegged bass goddess !
I didn’t think this song could be any sexier until now.
You absolutely crush the James Brown basslines.
The steps on Superbad bowled me over!!!

Stretching Out is my favorite Bootsy bass line. It is Bootsy’s Rubber Band that inspired me to want to play bass
The funk is real with this one!

I was with those guys, Parliament Funkadelic, Bootsy et al. We had the concessions touring around America. Probably 1977 or so.

My favourite Bootsy bassline is definitely I'd Rather Be With You.
Digging everything in this video. Especially the 70's pants.
Hard to sit or stand still when you’re playing funk, and even harder not to smile or ‘bass face’ when you’re in that pocket. Well done!
Nothing like perambulating through the Funkosphere!! Just remember Rule # 1: “Don’t fake the funk, or your nose’ll grow!” - Bootsy
Gurl this does something to my soul
That funk, and that bass!
Hats of to you Julia, keep it up. 😍
Julia put so much of her heart in every song she play ! not just playing the part , i love it ! please Julia we need more and play the complete song!!
she's just impeccable and really fun to watch
Love when Julia plays the bass.
You gotta hear Munchies For Your Love..the ending of how he rode that bassline was sick
Thanx for Bootsy, Julia!🤩
Absolutely love this, Julia! You were born for funk.
I had thechance to jam with bootsy back in the day and played Stretching Out on stage with him.
Not only is Julia super dope at the bass, but for some reason her voice/accent is so pleasant to listen to. Julia you should do more voice things
She's Austrian
Yes james started ON THE ONE !!!! LOVE HIM !!!!!
You go girl play that funky music
I'd rather be with you is another classic bass line
Glad to see you got right in the mood and put on yer disco pants Julia!
been long overdue that Boosie Collins get recognition the song answer to my question is v very yes. Say awah
What do we want? The funk. What do we gotta have? That funk.
I heard a lot of funk as a kid--thanks to my mom and her friends when they had parties--and for a long time I suspected that was why when I eventually took up the bass, I kind of instinctively started on "the one."
Beauty and she has the funk. It doesn't get better than that.
Your grooves and moves made my day! That bass must be so much fun to play!
It is fun, but really uncomfortable :D // Cheers, Julia
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses I played one before and yes, it was uncomfortable.
Bass face, and you can't be sad playing the funk, it always makes me smile!
Julia, you dun did it again. Go on, girl!
I was just a kid in the 70's, but I mis them. Music was sooooooo much better than today. All of it. Funk, smooth r&b, country and classic rock. I started listening to my own music then.
Didn't expect "Another point of view." Good choice!
Do it Baby! You got it all! It's the truth too!
As a funkateer I love them all ! 💜 BOOTSY baby !!! 🛸🛸🛸
The 4 different basslines in Uncle Jam. A complete funk workout!
Those pants are incredible. Great choice for a Bootsy Collins video.
That is one funkadelic bass!
I like Bootsy’s bass line on Johnny Taylor’s hit ‘Disco Lady’. Bootsy even does a little ‘slap bass’ on this track. Pure genius!
I loved when you started dancing😂😂 Go Julia!!🙌🏿
My favourite Bootsy bass line is on "J.R. (Just Right)" from Blasters of the Universe (1994). It goes perfect with my favourite Bernie Worrell keyboard riff.
The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. A gorgeous woman playing the bass flawlessly and really feeling the groove. You’re awesome Julia.
For me the bass line from "morhership connection" "funkentelecky" "what a the name of this town
Yeah, those "Funkentelechy" bass lines are some'n ELSE!!!
Night of the Thumpasaurus Peoples is my ultimate Bootsy bassline. Not for just the bassline, but how he works the expression pedals.
Always loved Hollywood squares , had it as a single .
As a child of my era, one of his most iconic to my eyes will always be “grove is in the heart” with dee-lite. Talk about a true ear worm.
That's not Bootsy. That's a sample from a Herbie Hancock track, performed by bassist Ron Carter.
@jamiemacdonald436 thanks for the clarification. I alwsy thought it was Bootsy.
I really enjoyed your playing Julia and the fact you were standing :) Great grooves and a talented musician!
She's the best and very funky😊
I love watching your facial expressions when you are going off!
Best thing I've watched on RUclips this year
Favorite Bootsy Bass lines I’ll just name three. Funkentelechy by parliament, Dr funkenstein by parliament, Talking loud by James brown
Good picks! I like Soul Power a lot too. And many others of course too!
"Talkin' Loud..." is definitely my favorite ever Bootsy riff. The way it drives the song, is KILLER!
James Williams bassline on Ain’t No Stopping Us Now is a fabulous funky line. 😎🎸
3:19 when the choreography kicks in 💀🔥

That "bass face" is worth the price of admission alone!..

“James brown always said you gotta play the ones. I’m not sure if he even knew what he was talking about but he was right”-Bootsy Collins
