Hahaha, I love it. I love the Rapper's Delight bassline, fun and amazingly simple to play

Love that bass intro!!!!!!!! Great to see a video where the bass player gets a little face time

You're spot on - Bernard Edwards is one of the greats IMHO - and it's not easy to get his tone and feel but really well worth trying - almost every song he wrote/played on has a wonderful bass line and this one must be one of the all time greatest bass hooks. The main reason I originally bought a Musicman bass, and my biggest playing influence. Great that the rappers borrowed the Chic song so Nile borrowed back their version for the middle bit of the live version!

This version sounds just great - very poignant seeing this as Bernard passed away that very night after the concert.

Thanks for posting, I just love the playing!

He makes it look easy

He is a legend one of my fav baselines. Everybody here can play this line but I wonder how many of us get the same feel/time as Bernard ;-)

Bass god
