Motown: James Jamerson Original Motown Bass
Motown: James Jamerson Original Motown Bass Recording Score - "Girl, Why You Wanna Make Me Blue" (The Temptations). Rare bass chart used by Motown Hall of Fame session star James Jamerson to record "(Girl) Why You Wanna Make Me Blue" in 1964. Jamerson, the father of the electric bass, followed this early hit with hundreds upon hundreds of fantastic and innovative bass lines over the next seven years of non-stop hit production with the Funk Brothers. This particular James Jamerson bass score is in fine, unmarked condition reflecting the practice of letting Hitsville's master bassist use the written riffs as a springboard for his lightning fast improvisational talent. From the files of famed Motown Musical Director Cornelius Grant. Framed with a photo of Jamerson and a copy of the 45 rpm record. Image dimensions: 9-1/2 x 12-1/2, framed dimensions: 19-1/4 x 33-1/4. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
