As a bass player myself, I really appreciate Jimmy Johnson. He doesn't overrun anybody aand keeps it right in the pocket and in the groove during his solo which I though was really melodic and fit the song perfectly. Like Lee, he can say something with just the well placed notes rather than tearing up the neck. He cooks.

Jimmy Johnson's one of my favorite bassists. His tone is usually pretty dark for playing an Alembic but here he's really letting it come through for a change.
@stratoblaster5331

Brad Maestas I don't agree. Jimmy is one of the identifiable Alembic bass players and also instrumental in developing the Low B with Alembic for 5 string bass. Film and the B.B.'s has a very distinct Alembic tone, as well as his playing with Allan Holdsworth. The music it self may be dark but not his tone.

He played a great bass solo while staying in the context of the song with its chords and feel. It's not a shred solo (thankfully) and you can hear when Carlos and Jimmy get a solid lock and then it's magic. I just noticed Jimmy had a chorus on his bass when doing his solo only.

As a bass player, this can be true. Marcus played the original on the album, and his solo still reflects the song. As Neil Steubenhaus has said about Marcus, "sometimes it's only 8 bars, but it's a great little piece of music."

I remember a session for one of my own records back in the late 80's where we had Jimmy come in to lay down a track. We asked him to do some slapping, and he looked at us and said - and this is an exact quote - "I DON'T BOINK". He's the most amazing bass player I have ever had the pleasure of hearing and working with, so as far as I'm concerned he can remain "Boinkless" forever! The rest of the band is amazing as well...Lee of course, and Carlos Vega on drums (R.I.P.). Was that Ernie Watts on sax? And Luis Conte on perc? Thanks for posting.
