help me please baybee. Who played that stonking bassline on the above track, a UK dance fave in 1991? It goes doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-dooo-dooo, on the D and G string, sorry I can't be any more specific, but it's a real jazzy(ish) groove....song goes "sip a glass of cold champange wine......there's nooooooooooo, no substitution...." |

Wouldn't you like to know?! | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Atlanta | | | Great song! I had to play this a few times. Nathan East is playing on this album, but I don't know if it's him on this song. Hell, it could've been Omar. He's an excellent bassist himself.

Omar played the bassline himself on the original and lots of the other instruments!

Dave | On the album it says that Phil Hudson played the guitar solo - but Omar played everything else on the track.

But he told me that the biggest applause he has ever got in his career, was when he was playing on tour with Omar in Japan - so when he started up playing that bass line, the crowd would go wild!!
