The theme from Bergerac (original BBC series)

[Jolltax]

I liked three things about the Bergerac BBC series in the 80's

 

1. My gran loved it (miss you granny)
2. Cool theme song with very evident cool bass line
3. Bergerac's cool Triumph roadster

 

I didn't really like watching the programme but always enjoyed the credits - its possible this was the first bassline I really got into as it had a very prominent fretless sounding bassline, I am guessing there are a few people of an (ahem) certain age who will immediately know what I mean  - and a whole bunch of people who have NO CLUE what I am on about 

 

Anyway I started thinking about it / humming it a few days ago so today I bought the MP3 and made a TAB of it, just for fun - I have submitted it on bigbasstabs so it will appear there at some point (needs admin to hit the approve button), its a fun play, less than three minutes long and quite easy to mess about with ...

 

I don't actually know if its a fretless bass but it sounds like one, I don't have / can't play a fretless bass - there's something about the sound though ..... I notice the TV version on Youtube is slightly different (and maybe better) than the one on Spotify, linky below and I uploaded a sample of me twanging it in case you want to hear roughly what it sounds like

 

At 67 bpm, its definitely chillsome..... any other BC'ers have fond memory of it or other TV themed guilty bass-pleasures?
