This is a play-through of the bassline from the Brothers Johnson classic 'Thunder Thumbs & Lighting' Licks'. This instrumental is from the band's debut album Look Out for #1 and features some fantastic bass work from Louis Johnson.

I performed the line using a '67 Fender Precision CS bass strung with Rotosound strings.

A transcription of this song - and 13 others - is available in The Brothers Johnson Bass Book, available now from Bassline Publishing and Amazon:
