OldGit Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Current Guitar and Bass mag (March 2008) has a thing on Carole Kaye's basslines with tadpoles and tabs .. It's basic but pretty good. Interesting to hear about some of the tracks she actually did play on too. Eg I'm a Believer, Something Stupid, Suspicious Minds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 fantastic article hamster. seriously fishy huh?!! i guess the evidence speaks for itself but you gotta admit, it Does seem strange for an artist of kaye's caliber to be making false claims about her work - especially if she's contradicting her own logs... ah well, who knows - 60's detroit seems a world away... intersting stuff.
