Bass on AIR's Moon Safari

[cowsgomoo]

might not be appropriate though

of course, if I get into trouble, the word 'shag' clearly means the dance of that name

He he...oh there's a good long thread there my friend - perhaps you should start it? might not be appropriate though - but I agree.

Actually, I think there was a thread on this subject a while back! Another couple of "classics" (and not dissimilar from Air actually):

Zero 7 - 'Simple Things'

Royksopp - 'Melody A.M.'

 

[Mon Rominee]

Dude, you'd swear Moon Safari and Simple Things were the same band.

I love Zero 7. Damn good record.

 

[dadodetres]

I found that record to be GREAT!

Dont know the bass, but i can certanly hear lots of compression...

 

[Syeknom]

Fantastic album, and great band. The basslines groove some too!

I'm trying for the life of me to figure out what bass is being used on the opening piece of this album. Anyone heard this CD? The bass playing is really melodic and it sounds like a hollowbody of sorts with flatwounds. I saw some concert footage and Justin Meldal-Johnsen was playing with them and using a Guild hollowbody of sorts. It seems though that the bass on the album might be a Hofner. Any clues? I love that tone!

Ok. I know that a few years have passed… Anyways:
