Love is Here and Now Youre Gone
Released by Diana Ross & The Supremes in 1967 number 1 in the States
and number 17 here in UK.
Bass performance James Jamerson
Tab by bass50611. Jamersons bass line is superb playing mainly
across the chords. For me one of his best and a rare one too.
He plays above the 5th fret!!!
Any comments its bass254@btinternet.com
Have fun ~ its a very fast and furious bass line and note the
semi tone de-tuning enables one to play to the original recording.

If it helps, have a listen to Basil Fearingtons recording of this bass line found
on the CDs within the autobiography about Jamersons life
Standing on The Shadows of Motown. Its just him playing and this is also
de-tuned as well..
