Normal speed at start
Slowed-down riffs at 4:21
Bassline (only) - original song from Funkentelechy Vs. The Placebo Syndrome (1977).
Been saving this one for a while now - one of my favorite Parliament songs, and a blast to play on bass (especially with an envelope filter).
Most sources say Cordell "Boogie" Mosson played bass on this one. I've always agreed - this track is some of Boogie's best work, and has a unique picking/popping style. And as you can hear from the very first note, Boogie proved that Bootsy wasn't the only P-Funk bassist who knew how to use a Mutron!
Sorry for some timing errors - Boogie's hybrid technique is hard to nail!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I grew up listening to Parliament Funkadelic. I like many of their songs but the special thing about Wizard of Finance is that I would listen to it strictly because of the BASS!

Yea yea! Even Dow Jones won't believe it's true!

@richarddixon4359 3 года назад

what's the name of the effects pedal or envelope filter you're using?? it sounds exactly like the original it's crazy, thanks for posting!

@mikedeeez 3 года назад

Thanks! You're right, it's an envelope filter. It's actually just one of the filters included with Native Instruments Guitar Rig. Specifically, it's the "Autofilter" in Guitar Rig 4. Yeah, I was really surprised that it came so close to the original too! I assume the original was a Mutron III. I tried it with an EHX Q-Tron, but it didn't sound as close. (If you're interested, specific Autofilter settings were: "Up" drive, Range: Low-mid, Resonance: High, ~midway between low-pass and band-pass, 100% "wet".)

@@mikedeeez wow that's definitely the most in depth response i've gotten! much appreciated. i haven't dove into filters and effects nearly as much as i want to but the warmth & fuzzyness of that one makes it hard to resist. it literally makes a bass sound even phatter so thanks a bunch for the help

Are you using an actual Mutron?

@mikedeeez 2 года назад

No, but I sure wish I had a real Mutron! It's actually just one of the filters included with Native Instruments Guitar Rig. Specifically, it's the "Autofilter" in Guitar Rig 4. Cheers
