Don’t give me a hard time, it’s a cool bass line!
"You're the One That I Want" is a song written by John Farrar for the 1978 film version of the musical Grease.
Who played the bass on it? There are 6 possible bass players credited - Mike Porcaro, William David Hungate, Max Bennett, David Allen Ryan, Wm. J. Bodine, Dean Cortez and Harold Cowart. My guess would be Dave Hungate because he was a super-clean pick player.
I just realized this is my first video with this bass that I got around my birthday back in September. The bass is a Spector Euro LX-35 with only 8 being made in this format and finish which is Ultra-amber over Poplar-burl with an ebony fretboard, Aguilar DCB-G3 p/u's (OB-2 preamp) and a 35" scale. I planned on putting a Spector HAZ pre-amp in it when I got it. Someone suggested doing a few videos with the bass “as is“ which seemed like a good idea. This way I’d have something to compare it to. This is the stock bass as I got it. I recently had the HAZ pre-amp installed, but I’m still not really happy with it. It seems that the pickups have too strong a voice to really be colored by the pre-amp. My next plan is to replace these pick-ups with EMG’s. An EMG-P4 (Precision Soapbar) and an EMGJ4-Reverse (Jazz Soapbar) in the neck and bridge positions, respectively. The ”Reverse J” means that the single coil is in the front of the pick-up, more toward the neck and away from the bridge. I’m hoping that this will bring the bass’ sound more toward that of a classic, P/J Spector. - เพลง

Found this which was an answer from David Hungate himself.
"You're the one that I want" was a '62 precision with Rotosounds and a pick. I was probably using my Versatone amp as well as a direct box”.
Thanks for the info. I pinned your comment so others will see it and spread the word. I think Jack Casady used to use a Versatone amp. It was a self-contained, bi-amp system or something like that.
Just saw that on TalkBass too.
This is probably the most accurate cover Ive seen. And the soul coming from that bass is amazing.
TJH, great job on this song (as usual). Also cool that you pinned this info as I was very curious.
Great TH-cam channel.
I just spoke to the son of Mike Porcaro. He told me that Mikey played on it. Hungate told him that it was mikey. So i don’t know wich player it was on this song😅
Man....your fingers move fast.....liked greased lightnin'!
Haha!
FACT: The ghost notes are the unsung heroes of this bassline. **chef's kiss**
Truth!
The tone of that bass is absolutely insane!
I'm glad you like it. It's not exactly what I was looking for but I'm working on it.
Exactely
Unmistakably Spector.
I can't express enough how much I love this bass line. Brilliant composition - brilliant performance.
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks Mathew!
40 years later...never knew this song had such a fun bass line.
Now you know!
This is such a good example of why learning parts to classic songs can be so beneficial to becoming a more complete musician. Some guys just want to "do their thing" and they're missing out on learning what makes a track work so well -- and in some cases why it become a hit. Not only does this song have that "fun as hell" catchy part, but it grooves really hard , yet never sounds forced. For that reason, there's a tendency to push and overplay it. You kept the relaxed nature while maintaining the drive. That's what makes it work so well.
I think I've taken something away from every song I've ever learned and that's why I've always tried my best to capture as many of the small details as I could. Thanks for another great comment, Nelson.
This is a cool bass line!
This is the best version I've found on TH-cam so far. Thank you!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Yeeessss
Check out the version by David Carracio...
This is one of the most fun basslines to play and listen - Troy you nailed the playing and your tone is killer as always!
Agreed. Thanks a lot.
Remarkable. That must be one of the very best lines ever written and played extraordinarily well by Troy.
Thank you!
Love this. I had no idea that loving Grease at age 10 would be a bass primer for post-14 life of Rush fandom.
I'm glad you liked it.
Can't help but smile hearing this!
Sounds great with the bass out front.
Bravo!!
Awesome! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks.
I don’t know what it is about it, but I keep coming back for more of this video!
I thought this one came out pretty good myself. It was a lot of fun.
Had to revert back to this amazing video today in memory of the late Olivia Newton John who passed away today at age 73.
Yeah… So sad.😢💔
@@TJH3113 So good to be alive and experience all these fine people and musicians. Thanks again Troy. Absolutely perfect cover. Great ear! Seems like the biggest thing I see with bass players is playing wrong notes within a scale on a fast lick. Doesn't stand out to the layman but sounds like a dissonant to someone that recognizes it. You've always been spot on in not only playing the right notes, but the most important aspect to all of it..... Feel and timing. Incredible! Oh, and Happy upcoming Halloween! Those masks are coming in to a very appropriate time of year for them. :)
flawless!
thanks!
Fabulous!
Thanks Jay!
what a blast!
I never realized how much bass was actually part of this song.......this was really tight, bro. I'll probably dial in to this moving forward
Yeah, it really is a big part of the song, isn't it? Thanks.
One of my favorite bass lines. I was in a bass forum where they were talking with someone who had personal insight into the recording of this song and he said it was definitely Hungate that played on this track. I’d have to agree too. Well executed. What a fun part to play. You have very similar taste in your bass track selections. I’ve played most of the stuff in your vids.
Very cool.
Thanks.
Great,as always!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Just Incredible!
Thanks!
Amazing!
Thank!
Excellent!!!
Thank you.
Magistral
I'm glad you liked it
outstanding ! never fail to impress.
Thanks so much!
That is phenomenal
Thank you Brendan
Another great Spector
Frighteningly funky
Absolutely love your bass covers 😎🤟
Thanks!
Troy, just great. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So smokin. Well played and just an outstanding bass line. This brought me so much joy. Thank you for posting.
Thanks a lot. It is a fun song, isn't it? Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Exactly my thoughts! Cool bass line!
It is a great bass line, isn't it?
i LOVE the bass line in this song...fan-friggin-tastic job.....
Me too! Thanks a lot!
Always loved that bass part! Wonderful job!
Cool. Thanks!
Super cool
Thanks!
Great choice, excellent job as always
Thanks a lot.
The best bass cover!
Thank you!
Always fantastic!!! 👍 Thanks to show us the power of the bass
Thank you so much.
Wow what a groove!
Great line, isn't it? Thanks.
@@TJH3113 yeah. Played with passion.
Love, love, LOVE the extra 16th notes sprinkled throughout. Almost as much as the eye-roll after, "Feel your way..."
I usually don't add anything extra...sometimes at the end, but I don't remember doing any ad-libbing on this one. Haha, I believe the eye-roll was in reaction to my brain telling me to do one (wrong) thing and my hands just doing their own (correct) thing...close call.
Wow!! Very nice!!!
Thank you Joe!
Legendary bass line
Without a doubt!
One of my fave basslines of all time!
Awesome!
Beautiful ! Never paid attention to this bass line , and its a killer ! Show !
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks Gustavo!
It was hard not to hear this bassline in the song imo lol
Sir, you are the best in the business. I've played music since 1962.
Thanks so much, you are too kind.
Thanks for this excellent tutorial. This song is one of a dozen that made the list for my band during our winter break.
Awesome! I hope it was helpful David.
excellet as usual, impecable sound and performance!!!
Many thanks Daniel!!
I love that song and that bass line. No hard time from me at all. Thanks for the cover.
Good and thanks.
I have gained a whole new appreciation for this song. Very cool bass line and another killer job Troy!
Awesome! I'm glad you liked it.
I Just love your videos! TY for it
Aw, thanks a lot. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Always loved this bass line. You crushed it as always, Troy.
Thanks!
Phenomenal man! Love that bass line.
You play so effortlessly. Outstanding job.
Thanks a lot!
Thorough professional❗
Thanks so much!
An irony. There are quite a number of songs that I didn't much like growing up. Some years later, I discover many of them have a really nice bass groove. This one of them. Thank you Troy.
That's the way it goes! Thanks Dale.
The bassline is what really made this song, and as always, you killed it! What I would give to have your talent.
I think it did too. Thanks! Time and patience is all it takes.
Love to watch you play I picked up so much and learn so much from you thank you very much
Thank you kindly, it was my pleasure!
It's one of my favorite bass lines from the very first time I heard it. You play it great!
Awesome! I'm very glad that you liked it, Dave.
Had to learn this quickly, watched 9 videos, yours was the best and most true to the feel of the song. Awesome job!!
Great to hear. Thanks Tarman!
Love it!,
So glad!
I love watching you play bass,. Just Awesome,..
Thanks.
Bravo!!! 👏
Wonderful.👍
Thank you!
The king has uploaded!
God or Elvis? I didn't get a notification about any recent uploads from either.
I love this bass line! You did an amazing cover as usual. Cheers !
Thanks so much.
Class!!
Thanks Barry!
The tone on that bass is excellent. You make it look so easy. The end part is exceptional. Great vid!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
That was very enjoyable to watch and looked like a real workout too. Its amazing to think it was played with a pick on the recording. Thanks so much.
Thanks, I'm glad that you liked it. I know (about the pick), right?
Excellent! The bass absolutely makes this tune. What a fun groove.👊
Glad you liked it!
great cover and a beautiful bass!
Thank you.
Bravo
Thank you
Amazing job, my friend! You rock!
Thanks so much Kiko!
I can't believe I haven't checked this one out yet... Absolutely brilliant and ALOT more difficult than I expected.... Well done
It really was a challenge. Thanks.
Wow as usual the baseline is way more funky than I thought, will be learning this one thanks for that
I hope you liked it and that you find it helpful.
👏 Amazing 👏
Thank you!
I love the ghost/pickup notes in this one. Thanks for sharing!
That sort of thing is right up my alley. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, Ben.
And those deliciously placed slides, too. Yum!
Well done!!
Thanks!
Yeah that is a great bass line. Well done!
Thanks.
Great job!!! Your extension after the music stopped is a nice touch.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
I've always loved this bass line and always play it.. so good to hear you do it as well :)
That's great to hear! I'm glad you liked it.
I remember back years ago I played in the band for a grease musical, it was one of the most fun shows I've played. !!!
Very cool.
Yesss!
Haha!
Wicked bass line, excellently played Sir.
Thanks!
That Spector looks and sounds amazing. Didn't know the bassline on this song was so sophisticated but so cool as well. Excellent job as always!
Thanks. It's a bit "glassy" sounding on the top-end for me. Glad you liked it!
Bravisimo...!
Thank you.
I've listened to this over and over. I ordered a custom shop Fender 16 months ago. I can hardly wait to try this song on it. I can still do basic ass scales. My fingers got munched in a 30-foot fall. I will practice until I get this one song down pat.
Awesome! This one was a lot of fun to learn and play. I heard that the Custom Shop was really backed up over the last few years. I hope the new bass agrees with your hand condition. Have you ever considered a short-scale bass? The Danelectro Longhorn bass I recently got is really cool and a pleasure to play.
Well done ... this is a fun bass line. I remember watching the movie as a kid.
Thanks. It is, isn't it? Me too!
Grew up watching Grease. Thanks Troy, awesome job!
Cool. Thanks!
That was a pleasant surprise! Well done. I remember wanting to play that bassline before I even know I wanted to play bass. Some great playing altogether on that soundtrack.
Thanks.
Great basslines on this entire soundtrack.
I might have to dig deeper then?
TJH3113 Hell yeah! Long live the summer of ‘78
This is utterly awesome! One of the greatest bass lines ever played by a true professional! I salute you sir!
Wow, thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
@@TJH3113 I hope you don't mind, but I shared this on Facebook. The sound you are getting, plus your mastery of the instrument is something I thought people should see. Especially nowadays, when people need a little inspiration. Cheers!
Let's party!!!!! Thrilling Troy!!
Thanks.
always great tone and another amazing job troy .. and yeah it's a cool line
Thank you very much.
nice work. spicy bass jam. You nailed it!!
Thanks a lot!
The mighty David Hungate would be proud! You slayed this! Technique and tone dude. Awesome.
Do you think? Thanks so much Patrick.
What a joy to hear 0:27-0:47 and then again 1:27-1:47. Super, super cool bass.
I'm very glad you liked it! Thanks.
