This is great, I love the horns and that bit of organ in there fits nicely. Well done.

I don't know what's rough about the mix.... the tune sounds pretty together to me.  True there's a lot of moving parts, but it sounds like you've got them well in hand.  Good vocal, and a terrific job on the horn section.  Funk on, bro!

Verrrry Funky.

Love it. I wish the bass was a bit funkier. Feels a bit too smooth in it's attack. It's not bad. Just not as funky as the rest of the tune IMHO. But call it a taste think.

Thanks Notnat, Jamesg, Dodsie and Philz.

Bapu I know what you mean.  I played the bass early in the project and comped a track together to build on. I have though about trying to improve it but not sure how to get my Yamana MotionBass to give more punch.

What would you suggest as a starting point...keep in mind I am a challanged bassist LOL

Tom,

Maybe look for some slap and pop vids on youtube? 
Funk is not my forte (playing wise).

This one is for you Bapu. Well fro me too.

I Worked on some slap style bass. It took a few days and some blisters but here is the result.
 
I also made a few adjustments tothe mix as well.
 
Any Mix suggestions welcome.

Thanks for the push Bapu. I'm glad you made the suggestion. Is everything sitting ok in the mix?
