Band of Gypsys - Message to Love - Bass Cover

WORLD PREMIERE: The First Time Ever this bass cover appears on YouTube! Complete Bassline note-for-note with all the ad-libs as played on the original recording from the 1969/1970 LIVE Hendrix LP, Band of Gypsys, showcasing bass player: Billy Cox.
Billy Cox demonstrates with so much feeling what 'funky' is all about backing the great Jimi Hendrix.
Ever since a teen I have identified with this soulful bassline because of its rhythm, and feeling.
Here is my effort at transcribing and performing (with a similar TONE) note-for-note this remarkable LIVE bass performance from the legendary Bass Player, Billy Cox with Buddy Miles & Jimi Hendrix.
This video is ONLY FOR EDUCATIONAL AND INSTRUCTIONAL USE by bassists.
I own NO PART of any of this music.
*****The tone of my bass: My Expert Guitar Luthier of southern Italy, attached a used, genuine vintage 1960 Sprague tone capacitor (value = 0,1mdf) to the electronics (and removed the cheap, tiny, factory-issued capacitor and threw it in the bin) of my Fender Roadworn Jazz Bass so as to create a 60's tone, while I have worked with the knobs on my bass and amp to attain a flat, yet punchy tone with both bass pickup volumes on 8 and the tone at 10. The bass in this video is a 2012 Fender Jazz Bass Roadworn with six year old Ernie Ball slinky flatwound strings and playing through a small Marshall B25 MK II amp with the Bass tone is at the 4 o'clock position, the Midrange at the 4 o'clock position, and the Treble tone at the 2 o'clock position.

I own no part of this music. This is an educational / instructional video where my bass is mixed a little louder than the band so it may be easily heard. Aspiring bass players may see where to place there fingers on the fretboard and where to find the notes as played on the original recording. Sorry no tab, I transcribed this and am simply reading my own transcription. Hint: play the video slowly and try to discover the right notes by watching the video at a slower speed.
