1. It Is A Good Bass Line

Lots of movement which helps a simple tune tremendously.
My bass playing is rooted in left hand work on the piano, so I like that constant movement we hear on this tune.
That's a good looking bass, too. Usually not a fan of tobacco sunburst, but it works on that bass.
I admit though, that I don't get the comments. It's a nice line, but I don't think it's anything every decent bass player could/would do.

Listened. Replayed, not believing what I was hearing. Unique and amazing I believe. Liked the vid so much it is bookmarked forever (more or less) on my iMac. Thanks!!!

from youtube: "I recently picked up a bass guitar, having not played one for almost 50 years! What a pleasure it is to be able to learn from you, Constantine. I look to you first for accurate tabs and covers that inspire me to play along. My searches for bass covers and lessons usually start with the name "Constantine". You and others on YouTube open up the world of bass guitar to those less skilled. Thank-you!"
