witterth Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 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"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Mo Foster - the great bassline on the theme to Bergerac?? Thats him you know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3V17C Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 quality song! we used to play it a while back too - nice bass line and a good laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 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!

witterth Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I'd allways thought that "minder"bass part was played on a stingray(talk about "train spotter").....well who knew eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
