Zephyr (Tommy Bolin) - Huna Buna - Isolated Bass

Bassline as played by David Givens on this cool Blues song from the American Rock band, Zephyr, based in Colorado with Tommy Bolin on guitar. This song is from Zephyr's debut album released in 1969 and the Lead Singer is Candy Givens. I am playing along with a Drum Backing Track 132 BPM from a random YouTube video. I had this album as a teenager and love the Blues and the energetic basslines on this record. This evening I transcribed this bassline from scratch--just for FUN! The Bass in video is a 2015 Fender Precision Classic 50's Series Made in Mexico, sunburst with a gold anodized pickguard and with a set of flatwound Italian made strings: GALLI STRINGS: jazz flat JF4505 medium strings, and the bass is hooked up to a small Marshall B25 MkII amplifier. The Bass volume is at 9, and the Bass tone is at 10; and, Amplifier settings: the bass is at 4 o'clock, midrange 3/4 o'clock and treble at 2 o'clock to attain a suitable flat tone -- correct for the 1969 era -- from the bass. #fenderbass #fenderprecision #fenderprecisionbass #bluesbasspatterns #bluesbass #bassguitar #bass #bassplayer #basscover #giggingbassplayer #tommybolin #zephyr #walkingbass #isolatedbass I own no part of any of this music.
