Charles “Meat Man” Meeks
Ok….so I’ve already posted this in the bass forum, but when I was in High school, and just learning bass, I became a huge fan of Chuck Mangione. My mom loved “Feels So Good” and I kinda like that song too. My buddy, and fellow Screamin Eagle bandmate, Brent Clark, was a Mangione freak thoughm and introduced me to “Live at the Hollywood Bowl”. This album blew my mind, and introduced me to the bass work of Charles “Meat Man” Meeks, and the drumming of James Bradley Jr.
This is one of the first Bass solos I ever learned note for note. Love his tone, and especially his vibrato, something I still do when playing a bass solo.
That is clearly a Stingray, BTW…
