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.

I agree ProfessorGAC. I came upon this gifted bassist during a googlesearch for "Toto", the song. George McGovern Aug 2 #2
