Great covers singles 2015-2020

That really is very good (as per the rest of your stuff), thanks Ian! 

I sense there's a touch more grit and smidge more sustain on the Puth track? But pretty darned close to the Dua Lipa bass tone.

Thanks Al Yeah it's not as grittier as the Puth track but it's not far off. The Dua Lipa track, yeah interesting sound that one - sort of funky and bright but with the tone knob turned all the way down!

George Ezra has done some good tunes. Trying to get my lot to do Dont Matter Now, a good tune for some audience participation.

yep, we do Budapest. Always seems to go down well.

I've taken the liberty of extending the recent period to include the current one, in case a few amazing tracks come out of the woodwork during the course of the year.

I think a lot of classic bass lines on dance track with live bass were recorded on jazz style bridge pick ups with the tone rolled back. I recall reading something about getting ‘that’ type of sound years ago or was discussing it with a local producer who was a bassist too.

That would make sense. I get a lot more natural grit on my basses from the bridge J.

I was thinking of that Moloko Sing It Back (boris remix version of course) type sound which has that tone rolled off bass sound. A modern classic!
