Grand Funk Railroad - Nothing is the Same - Bass Cover HD

Bassline AS PLAYED on the original Grand Funk Red Album released in 1969 (awarded Platinum!) A Bass Player you should know: Mel Schacher. Mel played with a 'fuzzy' bass tone and did his job of driving the band brilliantly. Modestly, I have done a 98% correct reading of this bass transcription, so what you hear is what Mel Schacher played. Ever since an adolescent, I have always admired this cookin' bassline played so adeptly by Mel Schacher. Mel was keenly aware, and well trained at playing great basslines that fill the total sound, and he was creative to use "fuzz bass" also in this brilliant 3-piece rock band, which was based in Flint, Michigan, U.S.A. *Note: This video is my little show of gratitude to the great guys in this band--you might be surprised to learn that in 1971, (I had shoulder length hair and dressed like a hippie!) while hitch-hiking in the direction south on Woodward Avenue in Birmingham, Michigan, an old model Cadillac approached and slowed and offered me a ride. I hopped in and sat in the back seat. Can you guess who was driving this Cadillac? Actually, Grand Funk's guitarist, Mark Farner was driving while Don Brewer, Grand Funk's drummer, (sporting a big 'Afro' hair style) was seated in the front passenger seat. It's a true story! *****The tone of my bass: My Expert Guitar Luthier, Master Luigi Spezzacatena, of southern Italy, attached a used, genuine vintage 1960 Sprague tone capacitor (value = 0,1mdf) to the electronics (and removed the cheap, tiny, factory-issued capacitor and threw it in the bin) of my Fender Roadworn Jazz Bass so as to create a 60's tone, while I have worked with the knobs on my bass and amp to attain a flat, yet punchy tone. The bass in this video is a Fender Jazz Bass Roadworn (purchased at Sam Ash, Phoenix, Arizona) with three year old Ernie Ball slinky flatwound strings and playing through a small 60 watt Marshall amplifier with the tone settings straight up, or 'flat'. I own no part of this music. This is an educational / instructional video where my bass is mixed a little louder than the band so it may be easily heard. Aspiring bass players may see where to place there fingers on the fretboard and where to find the notes as played on the original recording.
