A little bit of "behind the scenes" footage. Recording with DingoBass's trusty fretless HB-4, christened in his honour.

Damn, that was tasty! Great lines there. You're recording bass before drums?

Thanks, Pablo- I was attempting to channel Mr Jamerson... ;)

Yes we'd worked out the bass line with the keys prior to the drummer hearing it, so this line was used as the template for him to follow; reversal of usual procedure.

Oh yeah, the motown feel is definitely there. Great stuff.

Very nice I think Carol Kaye would be quite happy to own those lines, but she would have played them with a pick :D

I think so- the only modification I'm aware of is DB's patented defretting.
