I remember Dave Bascombe bringing in Pino to play on Tears for Fears Seeds of Love album.
Curt Smith was not too pleased.

 

[Frozen Horse]

White stripes - seven nation army.

Pedant's corner: not actually a bass line. Played on the lowest string of a guitar.

I used to like that song until 1000 generic football chants killed it for me.

I knew there’d be one It’s still a bass line, just not played on a bass guitar. I’ve played it on the lowest string and it sounds nowt like that, need to shove it through an effects pedal to get the sound, my looper has a setting that does a fair version.

I'm technically correct.
The best kind of correct.
