Bass cover of the week: this time it's the turn of a hit of the Madonna famous among the bassists for the beautiful bass line in slap ... good listening!

Well done, Sir. We do this in my 80s band. I’ve taken to playing it with a pick recently, especially as I’m trying to play everything on my fretless (it works quite well sonically).  Madge could’ve done us a favour and recorded it in G though, I find it a bit stretchy in F.

It's true! In fact, for those with small hands like me it is a little tiring 😅
