When Smokey Sings - ABC- Bass Cover | 2021 G&L L-2500 bass
This 80's smash hit song was rated as the #1 song "written in tribute": https://jukeboxtimemachine.com/2021/03/22/songs-written-in-tribute-1-when-smokey-sings-by-abc/
I've been trying to learn this song by ear and have become obsessed with it lately. Tabs and notations for this song don't exist -- at least I couldn't find any. As a result, I had to listen to it numerous times to try to figure out what is going on with the bass track. The song sounds like a hybrid of a synth bass and a bass guitar. In fact, it may have been recorded with both -- using the synth bass for most of it.
To match the octave of the chorus, I recorded this using a 5-string 2021 G&L L-2500 bass guitar into a Fender Rumble Stage 800 amp. I recorded the audio from the amp's DI direct to GarageBand and synced the video from a iPhone 12 Pro Max forward facing camera.
