seashell Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Can't post a link right now, but it's got to be The Persuaders for TV and the James Bond Theme for movies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinball Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) I like most of the Goblin themes for Dario Argento's film. Always menacing and intelligent. This is an example: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nHV6MAA1K8"]https://www.youtube....h?v=3nHV6MAA1K8[/url] Edited June 19, 2015 by Pinball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL POSTERS Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Dont laugh. The original earlier versions of the theme tunes for Coronation St and Emerdale Farm when it was on at lunchtime ( I worked in a TV shop for a while), both had good and distinctive Bass lines. Also the Hamlet cigar ads in the 70s. Air on a G string I think. Two of them are DB I know, and I dont play DB but a good line is a good line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ_c2UaccJE Edited June 19, 2015 by BILL POSTERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
