"Smooth Operator" (Sade) - Bass Solo Cover With Tabs

[BassLard]

A bass solo in a mainstream pop song is not something you see everyday so I guess it´s just right to pay respects to the few times that rare sighting happens.

One of the cases I can think of is this classic Sade tune, which I tried to give a go with my bass some time ago.

I tried to go with the flow in the 2nd part improvising a bit, but for those interested in a further listen there is a Live Version included in a DVD from a show in San Diego which actually has an extended solo that sounds even cooler than the studio version. I tried to find a longer backing track to play along to that longer solo version but couldn´t find one, so I sticked to the standard short version from the album.

I hope you enjoy it.

Greetings!
