When you hear the song, the bass line is not prominent. But if you listen through the right hand speaker, you can hear the full bass effect that gives the song it's steady rhythm:

The Q-Continuum I noticed this too through headphones the right channel really shows the bass off

[@ednacalderon6131]

That's right. And what bass is it?

[@michaelfuria4257]

Could you do "Along Comes Mary", by the Association, I have heard that both upright bass and electric bass were used on this song...

[@jeffreyhilde8062]

This was played originally By Joe Osbourne of the "wrecking Crew" the fender precision it was played on is in the Musicians hall of fame in Nashville

[@damon9408]

Pretty sure Joe Osborn played this & other Wrecking Crew stuff on a Jazz bass. Not that it matters, really.

[@ROLEBRA1]

lakland ,yamahha, hofner , similar sound , YEAHHHHHH

[@infusion26]

Thanks : ) What song do you mean ? Is that a song from Ringo Starr ??

[@CiniMini69]

Could you please either suggest the source or tab it for us?
Thanks.

[@infusion26]

[@superlenny07]

SOME TIME AGO YOU DO NOT REALLY SOMETHING GOOD LIKE THIS SONG

[@MrFilasNigga]

As we say in portuguese "Mais velho é mais velho" - something that we say resuming: Older people know better

[@IgnacioSimon]

[@barlevy13]

How did you handle the out of tune flute? Did you do pitch correction?

[@infusion26]

No thats my old Yamaha BB3000 vintage bass.mid 1980s model.

[@gmaccruyff55]

If you want a challenge on the bass,then try the following:-
1.Last train to London-ELO
2.Do i do-Stevie Wonder

[@CharlesGreggo]

Only someone who has no idea what good bass playing sounds like.

[@kevingavigan7883]

Joe Osborn would be proud!

[@1954telecaster]

what kind of amps do you use and how do you EQ them?

[@mihokradovan]

Such a briliant sound. Flatwounds or postprocessing?

[@infusion26]

Elixir Bass Strings.
