its concentration- you sometimes screw up your face when you are doing difficult figures that are hard for your fingers to get to!

Jamerson was the king of soul and R&B bass- Check out some of the Jackson 5 live cuts here on youtube and watch Jermaine Jackson play as well as the Motown studio greats on stage! Jermaine never got the acclaim he deserved due to (of course) the long arm of Barry Gordy!

fucking brilliant! yea jaco is prob the best, but there are all those others who could be argued, and they all grew from jamerson. but i guess everyone is entitled to there own opinion.

Interesting dialogue here..I was friends with and fished with Percy Heath (MJQ) out of Montauk Point up until his death. We often spoke about music and musicians. He was NEVER impressed with ANY musicians speed on their particular instrument but was instead more interested in what they "SAID" with it. Jamersons playing to a "T".

Check him out on Stevie Wonder's " For Once in my Life ".Be sitting down though, its heady stuff.

And on top of everything else that has been said, Jamerson wasn't just playing when he felt like it, like most of the people you named. He was on the clock day after day, and I don't know about you, but that sure seems difficult to do. Especially the intricate lines he was playing. Most of the guys you named lack a certain tone and feel that just doesn't get me anywhere near the way Jamerson gets me. Also I think all of them would pay a great deal of their technique and motivation to James.
