Carol Kaye Bass Duets

[RCMJ Bass]

Hi folks,
Like a lot of bass players of a certain vintage, I learnt a lot from working through Carol Kaye's Bass Books.
I remember trying to record those bass duets (there was quite a few of them in those books) by using a tape recorder and later a 4 track...anyway, I thought I'd revisit them with the wonders of digital recording and drum programming. I've started with a simple two bar one....hope some of you will enjoy it:

Cool. Nice to see/hear a lovely Ovation Magnum – built right here in Connecticut – from across the Pond!

I really like the Ovation Magnum, fantastic build quality and unique sound. There's no modern equivalent I think....the Magnum II is on my list, but they are rare here in the UK.
Here's another duet, this one is in 3/4, it's quite cool for showing the dominant 7th double stop voicing:

Here's another, "Who's on First Bass" also from Electric Basslines 2

I've just discovered a book called "The Literate Bassist' by Fred Paterno, I think I bought it around 1985. Anyone else know it? it has quite a few bass duets in, I think I'll get to some of those next....
