BarnacleBob Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I like that! I have found a lot of TV signature tunes from the 60's 70's and 80's have really interesting basslines. From the original MI tune to Seinfeld ( ok that might have been sampled) via the ubiquitous Barney Miller I love trying to pick out the basslines. Personal faves are the Piggy Malone theme from the Two Ronnies and The persuaders BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about the Two Ronnies,but it was Ronnie Hazelhurst so it could possibly be Dave Richmond who did other work for Hazelhurst including'Only Fools...'.

Dingus Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 The bassline on the Barney Miller theme was played by Chuck Berghofer, but is often miscredited to Chuck Rainey or Carol Kaye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've just checked some old copies of Bass Player...they credited the theme to Chuck Berghofer once,who then wrote in to say that it was actually Jim Hughart who played the theme to Barney Miller. Edit..Rainey and Kaye have been credited with playing on some of the music from the show,but not the theme.
