Dusty Springfield - Ain't No Sun SInce You Been Gone
This track basically convinced me to take up the bass fairly recently (i've played guitar for ages).
Wikipedia tells me this is John Paul Jones, which was quite a surprise!
I don't know much about bass or bass players. Does this busy kind of bassline on a pop/soul record have a name / a playing style? Or can anyone point me in the direction of similar basslines, songs, players etc. I like that driving lots of notes sort of thing, but without it getting into muso world (no offence). Is this a P-bass played with a pick?
