norvegicusbass Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I love the bass on Thinking Of You but always struggle to pick it up from the record and damn my factory worn ears for that fact. Can anyone just tell me the sequence of notes for the main riff? In a million years I doubt I will ever get BE's groove but atleast I can maybe hit the right notes. Quote

EssentialTension Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 It is very good but it always left me sounding like me and not like Bernard. Quote
