greghagger Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys is a really iconic album that I love and have been dipping into over the last few months. As I found out last week when transcribing, 'God Only Knows', Carol Kaye was not the only bassist on the album and even some of the bass lines played with her classic combo of muted pick and P-Bass were in fact played by Ray Pohlman. Then there is the interesting topic of the Danelectro bass to throw into the mix… There's even upright bass on a lot of the tracks and you might be surprised to find out who else features in the bass lines. In my latest YouTube video, I discuss the bass parts of Pet Sounds and demonstrate some of the more interesting bass lines. Ultimately, as I said last week, we'll never know 100% who played what on every track, but it's a fun journey to explore! Free transcription link under the video in the description.
