Gareth Hughes Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Folks - love this thread for two reasons: 1) I'm a disco slut and 2) it's nice reading about what you were all doing in 1977. Me - I was being born For a colossal resource of 70's bass lines, check out this site: http://reader.feedshow.com/show_items-feed=e692d6bdc2073422f5d4e1c91698a356 You will like.

Kiwi Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1327785832' post='1516880'] but i never really heard an Abba track that really grooves. of course what i say means nothing as groove is subjective [/quote] Y'got two of the best examples right there. Rutgar Gunnarsson is an incredible groove merchant but don't [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f28/rutger-gunnarsson-abbas-bass-player-202887/"]take my word[/url] for it. He also has a connection with brass like many bass players (John Entwhistle, Herbie Flowers) having scored all of Abba's brass parts.

[/quote] Oh, I dunno. If you listen closely to the bass and drums on 'Dancing Queen' ...killer. I ridiculed it at the time, like all us stupid kids who didn't know any better because we were listening to Yes and ELP (!) It is in fact a very fine example of the craft of pop production and has stood the test of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
