oldbass Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Title says it all really. Bit of disco sillyness. Just when you think you've heard every example of bass cleverness the world has to offer, this piece of octave madness comes along to stir up the memory banks. Who's the bassist on this track and is he on BC I wonder. Those soaring octave runs are mighty impressive even all these years later.

[/quote] Yes, but it's not a good memory, is it? lol Wonder if the bass player really used a bow, as per this TOTP clip? Don't know who the bassist is, or where he is now Yes, it's disco silliness - but it made me smile.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I always quite fancied the singer... but then I was 14 in 1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 That's Ellie Hope singing and her husband Ray Knott on Bass. (Ellie's sister was a decent singer as well). I bought a table from their furniture shop a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbass Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Well I did say it was a bit silly etc..but you cant knock the musicianship and the crisp production and those manic octaves are very nicely played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
