Yeah! what he said....

[beerdragon]

I suppose i must have, cant think when i heard the name last though.

A man of your pedigree and experience....you'll have heard his stuff/playing and as you point out, not realised it before...to have done 1/2 of that eh?

My old band in the late 90s used to cover it. I remember when Bassist magazine did an in depth article on Mo and this bassline. I thought it was a great song. I take it everybody knows Dennis Waterman "writes the theme tune, sings the theme tune"?

Mo Foster - the great bassline on the theme to Bergerac?? Thats him you know!!

[3V17C]

quality song! we used to play it a while back too - nice bass line and a good laugh.

He played the fretless line on the Bergerac theme!! Cool! I absolutely LOVE that piece of playing - in fact its one of the basslines that inspired me to play in the first place!

Massive respect

not that I have found a copy myself
but I hear his book on the formative years of British R&R is a good read
17 Watts(?)

[beerdragon]

I'd allways thought that "minder"bass part was played on a stingray(talk about "train spotter").....well who knew eh?

17 Watts (also, for some reason, published under the title 'Play Like Elvis') is one of the funniest books I've ever read. Highly recommended.
