Are bass synths really this good? Nice pins too!

I heard this on the radio a while back and thought, what a great excuse to buy a 5 string, the bassline sounded so smooth, thick and creamy... I heard the original by France Gaul (?) on holiday in Ibiza, ahh, takes me back...the long highlights and curly perms, skin tight shorts, airtex tops & that was just me :blush: & then promptly forgot about it all....until I found this video this afternoon.

Now, I don't really think it's 'live' per se, more a filmed 'performance' then audio dubbed after?

I [i]think[/i] I can see the keyboards in time with the bassline, I could be wrong though, but not knowing jack about synths, is the bassline synth' derived or done with a proper bass? Nothing really happens until 1:24 in.

Whatever quite a good workout on a bass, quite a few chords kicking around in this song to play over.

I really fancy the backing singer, but unfortunately I look too much like the keyboard player for anything to ever happen between us .

Nice track, though, and it has inspired me to get Mrs Dingus to make me an omlette for my tea . She needs the exercise.

The 'Rock bass' from 8'15" on sounds gash though. :)

[/quote] do you think the keys player will want to sit peddling the root note for half a song ever? Makes me think of Mr bean in the olympics opening
